PSYCHOLOGY OUTSIDE THE BOX
MY PROMISE: All my podcasts are safe for human consumption. GMOs are never used. Thousands of mice wearing tiny headphones listened to 100 continuous hours. There was no evidence of brain damage, although 12% of mice developed nervous twitches, night terrors, or post-traumatic stress. Fake data available on request. The internet is full of psychology wannabes and posers who are trying to replace me. My name is Dr Flower. I have a PhD in psychology so I’m not a wannabe or a knock-off. I’ve been teaching college and university courses for twenty years. My real name is FIORE which means FLOWER in Italian but I am MALE. And so my students call me Dr Flower. I blossom and bloom in the spring, am at my most beautiful in summer, and then I start to wilt and whither in the fall. Psychology is a vast field that connects to many things in your life. If you have a curious mind you’re definitely in the right place. This podcast will be interesting and informative, fun but factual. I want you to learn but also enjoy the experience. Some topics will be mainstream but others will be outside the box, far beyond the ordinary, and also beyond the usual boundaries of psychology. There will be lots of surprises. I will open your mind to new ideas and new ways of thinking. I invite you to live, love, laugh, listen, and learn with my podcasts.

I might as well give you the bad news right now. Referring to people as INTROVERTS or EXTROVERTS is wrong. It is a false dichotomy.
