I'd love to know how accessible you find the explanations of psychology and the writing on PsyBlog. To find out there is a simple poll below. Your opinion will help me to make any necessary adjustments.

Here are some of the aspects you might consider:

• Are concepts skipped over too quickly or, alternatively, described in too much detail for you?
• Do you generally understand the point of the experiments and concepts described or, alternatively, is it often not clear for you?
• Is the language too complicated or, alternatively, could it be more complex for you?

The poll is below: please choose one option.

If you are reading this in an email or your RSS reader or elsewhere, I'd appreciate it if you could visit the site by clicking here to register your vote. I will leave the poll open for 1 week.

Thank you for voting - I appreciate your time.

Reviews
The Bookseller, “Editor’s Pick,” 10/12/12 “Sensible and very readable…By far the most useful of this month’s New You offerings.”

Kirkus Reviews, 1/1/13 “Making changes does take longer than we may expect—no 30-day, 30-pounds-lighter quick fix—but by following the guidelines laid out by Dean, readers have a decent chance at establishing fulfilling, new patterns.”

Publishers Weekly, 12/10/12 “An accessible and informative guide for readers to take control of their lives.”
