Why read it?

1 author picked The Psychology of Interpersonal Relations as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The book, written in mid-century, has some of the most powerful hypotheses of social psychology, which, along with the ideas of fellow émigré from Germany, Kurt Lewin, gave birth to the field of social psychology.

From Richard's list on thinking.
