Michael Argyle Books

Exploring the complex relationship between money and human behavior, this book delves into themes of power, self-image, and the psychology of giving versus receiving. It questions societal taboos surrounding money, comparing its impact on happiness to that of sex and death. Aimed at psychologists, sociologists, and those curious about economics, it offers insights into how financial dynamics influence personal fulfillment and social interactions.

The first edition of this book outlined what amounted to a breakthrough in the analysis of social behaviour. Since then it has become widely used as an introductory textbook of social psychology. It is invaluable to anyone interested in the subject or whose work involves dealing with people, as well as anyone who wants to know how to make friends and influence people. For this new, fifth edition, Michael Argyle includes the latest research on non-verbal communication, social skills and happiness.
