Sue shares her profound love for psychology, describing it as a "user's manual for life." She delves into the significance of understanding psychology as a fundamental tool for navigating the complexities of human behavior.

Sue highlights the growing importance of undergraduate education in psychology, noting that "big schools are beginning to believe that undergraduate education is worth caring about." She emphasizes the crucial role of introductory psychology courses, likening them to psychology's "PR program," designed to captivate and inform students about the discipline's broad impact.

For those aspiring to a career in psychology education, Sue recommends connecting with established professionals and suggests joining the Society for the Teaching of Psychology (STP), an accessible resource through the American Psychological Association, with annual memberships costing around $35.

In a fascinating analogy, Sue describes psychology as "Volume 1 of the human user's manual," with anatomy and physiology as "Volume 2," underscoring the interconnectedness of these fields in understanding the human experience.
