Cialdini's book on "Influence" and also the "Psychology of judgment and
decision making" by Plous. Politics involves persuasion and in the
Plous book, it discusses the importance of message framing. Those are
the two the immediately come to mind.

I'm about to teach in an interdisciplinary honors program in which I
meet with a group of 10 students from different majors over the course
of 3 years (their sophomore, junior, and senior years) to--among other
goals--have broad-based discussions that enable students to learn
about the world while making connections among the various academic
disciplines. As a social psychologist, my seminar has "understanding
human behavior" as its underlying framework, although I'm interested
in expanding my own horizons as well. Given the presidential election,
I'm particularly interested in books that might be politically
relevant somehow, but I'm open to any good, general books that
Tipsters think might make for a nice intro to my seminar as a "summer
reading" text.
Thanks in advance!!
