Book investigates the psychology of POO
Is this the most bizarre book ever written? New release investigates the psychology of POO (but it might just be full of it)
- 'Pyschology in the Bathroom' is written by Professor Nick Haslam
- Professor Haslam is head of psychology at the University of Melbourne
- Book addresses all areas of toilet-related behavior
- This includes flatulence, incontinence and constipation
- But does it actually tell us anything we didn't really know already?
'Psychology in the Bathroom' lifts the lid on loo behaviour
Quote:
A new psychology book lifts the lid on the most natural of human behaviours, yet one of the the least explored – excretion. Yes, you read that right.
The act of going to the loo may well often be the butt of a joke (sorry!) but there's a much more serious side, linked to our psychology, don't you know?
Citing studies, facts, figures and theories, 'Psychology in the Bathroom' enlightens readers on all areas of toilet-related behavior, including flatulence, incontinence and constipation.
Despite its humorous tone, the book tackles this most taboo of topics from a serious scientific standpoint.
Is constipation associated with particular kinds of personality? Why do we feel shame and disgust about our toilet habits? These are just a few of life’s dirtiest questions the book attempts to answer.
