A general theory of psychology applies to interpret all aspects and all outputs of humanity. Think of it as a ‘lens’ one looks through to ‘understand’. When looking through the lens, what one ‘sees’ looks different depending on the position from which one views the situation. Each book is written looking through the lens from a particular location. .
