Psychology 101
A History of Minds
by James Johnson
Dedication
For the overthinkers, the feelers, the misfits, the anxious, and the chronically introspective.
You were never broken.
You were just paying attention.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
THANKS TO EVERYONE who cracked open the human mind and tried to map the mess.
To the ones who shocked strangers, watched rats, talked to ghosts, labeled suffering, and tried to name the unnamable, this book is yours, whether you got it right or not.
To every friend who stayed on the phone one more hour.
To every therapist who actually listened.
To every person who journaled at 2AM and kept showing up.
