    About this ebook

    Critical Business Skills for Success is the companion book to the audio/video series of the same name. It contains a full transcript of the series as well as the complete course guidebook which includes lecture notes, bibliography, and more.

    About this series:

    If you’ve ever wanted to delve more deeply into the mysteries of human emotion, perception, and cognition, and of why we do what we do, these 48 lectures offer a superb place to start. With them, you’ll see the entire history of psychology unfold. In the hands of Professor Robinson, these lectures encompass ideas, speculations, and point-blank moral questions that might just dismantle and rebuild everything you once thought you knew about psychology. In fact, you’ll not only learn what psychology is, but even if it is, as Professor Robinson discusses the constantly shifting debate over the nature of psychology itself. Lecture by lecture, Professor Robinson navigates from one subject to the next, and you’ll follow along as he recreates a Platonic dialogue; explains brain physiology; or explores the intricacies of middle ear construction, the psychological underpinnings of the Salem witch trials, and the history of the insanity defense. Among other things, you’ll learn:
    • How a brilliant young scientist’s temporary blindness led to pioneering research in sensory psychology
    • How the once-prestigious, now-derided, ”sciences” of phrenology and mesmerism contributed to psychological knowledge
    • What happened when a Stanford psychologist and his students decided to study “being sane in insane places” by getting themselves committed to a mental institution
    • How the brain is able to “rewire” itself to compensate for particular traumas at an early age
    • If high heritability determines how much the environment influences the value of a trait, and more.

        My daughter, who is home schooled, watched and enjoyed this 24-lecture course very much. Conor is one of the most fluent lecturers I have seen on a Teaching Company course. Perhaps this isn't surprising since he not only teaches Shakespeare but also acts in plays. His selection of plays is good and the amount of coverage dedicated to each is about right. Conor uses a set of "tools" to show how to understand Shakespeare's plays. These are a bit contrived--I'm not sure I'd call them tools--they are more like concepts that can be applied across the plays to see similarities and differences, and to especially see how tragedies and comedies share much in common. The presentation is not overdone. The extended quotes from the plays are presented on screen so the language is easy to follow. There are various still photos of scenes from Shakespeare as well, some of which may be familiar from other sources. There are no actual filmed scenes from the plays, but with Conor's skill, he doesn't need them. Highly recommended.
