reminder not to judge a book by its cover. these kinds of self improvement books are often titled to attract the people that need them more than reflect the opinions inside. like that one social media post of the lady burning a book titled “guys like girls who…” because she assumed it was hateful, but the point of the book was to help young women build confidence and realize they don’t need male approval.
The only reason I “have space to say so” is because it’s not a science. Allowing whatever you mean by “direct psychological experimentation” wouldn’t change that.
I’m not saying it’s a field of study that isn’t useful, but it’s not science.
That sound was a behavior analyst stabbing UndercoverUlrikHD in the spleen. I’m guessing you know absolutely nothing about the different fields within psychology, or even much beyond what you’re exposed to in popular culture. Yet here you are, trying to redefine the scientific method to suit your feelings

These books are pseudoscientific bullshit, to be clear
Anything related to psychology and sociology is pseudoscience.
The only reason you think you have space to say that is because doing direct psychological experimentation on humans is extremely unethical

I typed this whole comment about how and why sociology is a science, and realized they probably don’t give a shit.
