00:02 Psychology is the child of philosophy meeting with literature. 02:45 Psychology is the study of the mind and has its origins in Greek philosophy. 07:56 Human personality is influenced by imbalanced humors, which can be controlled through diet and physical exercise. 10:35 The Upanishads contain psychological insights into the human mind. 15:43 Psychologists study human behavior and mental processes. 18:02 The emphasis on practicality and materialism in Europe transformed science and philosophy. 22:25 Psychological suffering cannot be addressed by science. 24:38 Psychology became a new field of study in the late 19th century in Europe. 29:00 Freud's observation led to the discovery of the unconscious. Psychotherapy emerged after world wars. 31:15 Psychology explores the individual and society, studying aspects like cognition, social dynamics, child psychology, and differences among individuals. 35:46 Psychology studies the human mind and its processes. 38:01 Psychology deals with how the mind bridges the brain with thoughts, ideas, and behaviors. 42:32 Psychology has evolved from a philosophical and religious discipline to a more scientific one. 44:49 Psychology evolved from focusing on individual stories to observing behaviors and studying cognitive abilities. 49:33 Most of our behavior and actions are determined by the unconscious. 51:45 Gastal psychology is a dynamic learning system that emphasizes on animals being active and dynamic learners. 56:29 Psychology is mainly founded on the idea of Material Science and studies Consciousness through behavior and cognitive abilities. 58:48 Consciousness is the awareness of the world, ourselves, intentions, emotions, and sensory experiences. 1:03:25 Wilhelm Wundt is considered the true Pioneer of psychology who founded the first psychology Lab. 1:05:43 Consciousness is born out of our sensations, which can be categorized as representation, willing, and feeling. 1:10:21 Psychology views the mind as an adaptive mechanism, not a rigid structure. 1:12:35 Our mind copes with the overflow of information by categorizing and combining ideas. 1:17:09 Consciousness is outcome-driven and purposeful. 1:19:24 Our memory is goal driven and time efficient. 1:24:05 Functionalists see consciousness as an adaptive mechanism that has evolved. 1:26:18 Behaviorism is an important branch of psychology that focuses on studying how humans and animals behave. 1:30:53 Learning is heavily outcome-driven and solution-oriented in animals. 1:33:07 Memory and learning are not localized in specific parts of the brain. 1:37:35 John Watson's experiment on conditioning fear in a baby showed that humans can be conditioned like animals. 1:39:54 Learning based on positive outcomes and adaptability to environment 1:44:30 Desensitizing the brain to focus on present relaxation instead of past traumatic events. 1:46:45 Psychology is dominated by behaviorism, psychoanalysis, and psychotherapy. 1:51:18 Freud proposed a three-level structure of consciousness: conscious, preconscious, and unconscious. 1:53:32 Unconscious mind stores past traumas and influences our psychological problems. 1:57:57 Freud believed that civilization led to mental illnesses and therapy is about letting things out and having someone listen. 2:00:17 Freud's evidence of repressed wishes and the power of catharsis through storytelling 2:05:03 Carl Jung's theory of the collective unconscious states that we inherit unconscious memories from our ancestors 2:07:16 Psychology unravels in our unconscious to guide us through life. 2:11:43 Stories are a powerful way to emotionally bond with others and find meaning in our lives. 2:13:55 Archetypes of strong masculine men and soft feminine women are wired into our DNA for survival. 2:18:28 Psychotherapy and cognitive psychology are two distinctive approaches to combat psychological problems. 2:20:46 Psychology has different approaches, such as rationalism, empiricism, and humanistic psychotherapy. 2:25:13 Gestalt psychology views the mind as a whole rather than breaking it down into smaller components. 2:27:28 Gestalt psychology emphasizes personal autonomy and responsibility. 2:31:53 Emotional responses are influenced by our belief system. 2:34:10 Our beliefs impact our behavior and even our DNA 2:38:54 Love is the best antidote to suffering. 2:41:15 Personality develops through daily experiences and openness to new experiences is essential for a good life. 2:45:48 Existential Psychotherapy emphasizes finding meaning in life 2:48:13 Psychotherapy approaches include Western individualistic and Eastern humanistic existential. 2:52:46 Cognitive psychology empowers individuals by understanding the sophisticated and powerful nature of the human mind. 2:54:52 Cognitive psychology focuses on the connection between attention, memory, and intelligence. 2:59:20 Humans are proactive in shaping reality based on their beliefs 3:01:35 Our mind shapes reality and interprets data based on its internal model of the outside world. 3:06:21 Selective attention allows us to focus on one message at a time. 3:08:33 Memory favors meaningful and frequently exposed information, as well as tasks that are unfinished. 3:13:03 Organized information in categories improves memory retrieval 3:15:19 Memory is influenced by our emotions. 3:19:53 Our memory is not as reliable as we think it is 3:22:10 Cognitive psychology explains how our mind selectively processes information and uses memory to categorize and retrieve it. 3:26:38 Perception of reality impacts our emotions and well-being. 3:28:51 Cognitive psychology is focused on attention and memory, and aims to improve mental productivity and competence. 3:33:19 Social psychology studies the influence of society on individuals. 3:35:34 Conformity is the tendency to adhere to group norms. 3:40:00 Stanley Milgram's experiment revealed high levels of obedience to authority figures. 3:42:14 Power of authority and social conformity. 3:46:51 Our natural urge to belong to a community is as strong as our urge to find food or a partner. 3:49:05 Conflict between social norms and individual freedom is a key factor in social change. 3:53:27 Kurt Lewin's field theory emphasizes the interdependence of individuals within a group and the importance of understanding and changing the environment. 3:55:37 Child psychology focuses on the differences and distinct psychological changes that children go through as they grow up. 4:00:02 Children primarily learn by doing. 4:02:17 Jean Piaget proposed four stages of cognitive development in children. 4:06:48 Attachment theory studies how infants bond with caregivers and the consequences of attachment disruption. 4:09:02 Attachment is not just based on physiological needs but also on the need for protection and a safe environment. 4:13:26 Attachment types are influenced by the mother-child relationship, but can change as babies develop. 4:15:43 Children learn moral values by observing and imitating others. 4:20:18 Postconventional stage is when we move beyond conformity and stand up for what is morally right. 4:22:33 Erikson's theory of development portrays life as a series of stages, each with its own challenge. 4:27:12 Reproduction cost and fertility window 4:29:22 Men seek sex, women seek commitment 4:33:42 Females generally prefer financially stable men for dating and mating. 4:35:56 Women select mates based on status and respect within their community. 4:40:18 Humans lack visible signs of fertility, leading to paternity issues. 4:42:26 Girls outperform boys in schools and universities 4:47:00 Men are more aggressive and risk-tolerant, leading to higher representation in prisons and as CEOs. 4:49:18 Evolutionary factors and changing gender roles have influenced birth rates and shift in societal values. 4:53:44 Psychology studies the present and the behaviors and traits of individuals. 4:56:10 Psychology studies the interaction between biological and environmental forces that shape our traits. 5:01:03 Geniuses and those suffering from psychotic conditions have a lot in common. 5:03:27 Geniuses and psychotic patients share a common thinking style and creativity depends on psychotic temperament. 5:08:06 Psychology has a tricky job of diagnosing the human mind while using the human mind. 5:10:22 Psychology branches: Psychoanalysis, Behaviorism, Cognitive Psychology

I didn't had the opportunity to go to school and I appreciate this video. Thank you so much!

You're long format videos must take up a lot of time, dedication and passion so I just wanted to thank you for making such long, informative videos. You're long videos are aways a pleasure to watch, educational and entertaining at the same time

From Japan here. Thank you for taking the time to create such an amazing video. I learned so much

Respect and love, from Egypt 🇪🇬. Keep it up man, the best philosophical and Literary content on YT. Hands down. 🖤🔥🖤

I watched your video on Philosophy and it was awesome!! I’ve been looking for an in depth video or series to watch on Psychology, and you just posted this! You are the man, thank you for all your effort on these videos, it is much appreciated

You are truly amazing for making this kind of in depth knowledge available and free to anyone with an internet connection. You can’t tell me this stuff isn’t relevant anymore and can’t help us understand ourselves and the world better. Seriously, this is unbelievable-one would need to spend thousands of dollars and years of their life to even begin to synthesize this kind of information in this way. You are truly making a positive impact on the world. I wish we collectively championed people like you more. Thank you for all that you do.

It's unbelievable that you give us so incredibly prepared knowledge in such an accessible form for free

the effort is unmatched. thank you for the content.

Thank you so much. Please consider making a playlist of long videos without the music for the sleep community.

Learning more than my actual psych classes

Your commitment to long-form content is inspiring! Your videos feel like in-depth conversations, and I always learn something new. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so generously.

i beg to differ on the "when life is good people create chaos that's why there's more prevalence of mental illnesses in affluent countries." This isnt the exact quote but correct me if i got the wrong idea. Firstly, i think there is no difference in the amount of prevalence in both affluent and poor areas. The poor people just neither have the financial capacity nor the awareness that they actually need professional help. There are so many real-life examples of this, one of them being the survivors of WW2 in the developing countries that developed ptsd. don't just include the soldiers, but also the low to nonexistent-income civilians who are going thru flashbacks in the present day, while their other younger relatives thinking that they're just "crazy," "just like that," and then immediately ignoring them. other factors that can influence one's mental health due to the poor environment: neglect/abuse- lack of financial stability, lack of family planning/education, extreme situations, etc. Just my thoughts. feel free to add.

Love listening and listening again and again! Also, you have a lovely voice 😊

You're channel is a real gem.

Loved how you covered every religions philosophy this is peak content we are getting free for

I'll have to do this in chunks, but just listened to 40 min & it's hard to pull away, but life .. great video!

Im in loop listening to this, hope will get all info. I am happy not getting tired listening to this its really interesting.

Thank you very much. I appreciate your hard work for all the hours to compile into such amazing video format. Hats off to you, Human being.

Thank you so very much for creating such exquisitely beautiful and deep content. Your talent is stunning, but it's more than just talent that you are gifted with. It is the depth of your heart that shines through all of your work. Many Blessings and may you attract millions of followers because it would help to enlighten them beyond their expectations, and God knows that our world needs enlightenment.

I have been listening to a lot of self help content for years which I love. It's hard to find useful, real knowledge and information. I am studying and taking notes! Thank you this is really helping fuel my passion for Psychology. Listened while driving and listening again. I will support your channel! Keep it coming

Good info! Good humor! Thank you! The section on memory was particularly useful & agreed with what I've read elsewhere. There were so many good nuggets through the full video. I'll listen to this all again while driving.

Thank you for a comprehensive introduction to psychology. So informative too! Psychology sometimes reveals the uncomfortable truths about us, but it makes us less vulnerable, I think.

Love your channel. Would you ever consider narrating some of your favorite books? I'm here for it.

It was very thorough presentation with a footnote. The contribution of Wilhelm Reich, who is systematically omitted!

Psychology is ❤The study of human behavior and mental processes.❤

With all of this free information out there...ignorance really is no excuse anymore.....Thx for the vid...

Underrated channel. I love your vids

In Cognitive therapy, we do not forget about our traumatic past. We acknowledge it and realize how it manifests into our current reactive condition. Of course we continue to learn how to change it. We learn that our fear controls us and how to overcome our fear.

This is amazing 👏 thank you so much 😢

Deeply appreciate all your hard work man. Here's the least I can do: help you with the algorithm Lord.

Thanks buddy for posting this.😊

Great video man, i enjoyed this long very informational, and educational keep.

Thank you for this long informative video

huge thanks.. cannot thank enough.. love and respect from Nepal .. now i'll go back to watching again..

Many thanks for this humungous work. I listened to it in one go at 1.25 speed. I only took one psychology course in university. I will review the script for references, major psychologists and their books and experiments. Your opus is very useful to those like me who hear bits of this history which you showed its chronological development. I'm in Moscow now but will buy your book when I return to the US in the 2024 summer. Could you please tell us your name and where you teach. Best regards.

A true gold mine. Thanks

no words can describe your work,thank you

I love psychology. It's definitely my favorite subject. It's just so fascinating how the human brain and mind work. Every single aspect of our lives functions through our minds. I love learning about human behavior and why we act the way we do. This subject is good for everything you do in your daily life. By learning psychology we can solve so many problems not just mental illness. We can accomplish anything. Everything starts with the cognitive aspects the learning, memory, intellect. We use these things for everything. It's common sense obviously but it's so fascinating. Our emotions like for example guilt and shame can motivate us to change our ways and become better people. Worry motivates us to solve problems, same with sadness and the joy we get from living a good life. What's the best thing in the world? It's love which comes from our brains although I believe that's more a spiritual thing. We use our minds for spirituality too. We have our dream jobs because of our minds. Physically our brains control everything. It's just amazing

Extremely helpful! Thanks a ton for your efforts

Can you please make another video like this on Sociology?

Nice content, amazing insight

Thank You. ❤

Thank you 😊 💓

@10:25 This section is incorrect. The Upanishads are a part of Vedas. There are 4 Vedas. Each of the 4 Vedas are further divided into 4 parts (for rituals, norms, philosophy, etc), and the Upanishads (or atleast the primary ones) are the final part of those Vedas.

a literal college course for free

@3:06:00 Then why add music when our attention has a limit?? The music 🎶 gave me images of different commercials that used the same music. Even Buggs Bunny came to mind.

All the books received in Indian edition only one ,printed in Germany, despatched from france ,that on parsian empire

Where is the resources of the information?

Great content. But music is really distracting at around 3hr mark. Perfect illustration on short attention phenomena when brain splits trying to decide what to listen to :)

Good stuff!!!

Hello sir,your course is perfect,Am I allowed to translate this to farsi?

THANK YOU.

Just thank you man ♾️

A well-known chef Said: We are distinct from animals because we cook our meals!
