Essentials is a streamlined version of the Psychology: Journey of Discovery larger text. Like JOD, Essentials approaches the first course in psychology as a discovery experience, both in describing the scientific theory and research within the discipline and in describing the introductory students' experience in learning about themselves and others. I use a story-telling approach to describe the science of psychology and reinforce the discovery theme by including Journey of Discovery Questions and Self-Discovery, Closer Look, and Exploring Culture & Diversity boxed inserts throughout the chapters. Each chapter ends with a Psychological Applications section which applies specific chapter content to the students' lives.
