Psychology for the masses

A good friend of mine studied theology, and posts about that topic in her blog with some regularity. I've always been impressed with the way she manages to bring what can be a boring, stuffy subject to us lay people in a way that is not only understandable, but fun and interesting.

My field is psychology, and in my internship, which I just finished, I was told that I write well, and that I explain things well. So, I thought, why not see if I, too, can take an academic subject, and turn it into something fun and interesting for the curious?

This is my attempt.
