Worth the read.

I look forward to every issue of Psychology today. This is a great magazine if you enjoy learning about the human mind. Now if you are a professional in the field then this probably isn't the magazine for you, but if you are a professional then you already know that.

Psychology Today has a nice combination of first person accounts, long informative articles and short little paragraph long factoids. These articles are always well done and occasionally they will have interviews with the big names in the field. I especially enjoyed the interview in the previous issue with Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi who wrote Flow The Psychology of Optimal Experience.

Not only is this magazine filled with informative articles but it also makes the next logical step and advises you with simple and effective steps to improve your own mental health. They manage to extract from the most recent research the latest in techniques for self improvement, unfortunately this section is not big enough for my taste. But so far I haven't found another magazine that takes the latest in Psychological research and makes it accessible to me, so I will overlook what I consider to be minor flaws.
