Good supplement to an intro psych course

There is 49 2-3 page "sections" (chapters) each addressing a broad question or statement, such as "Why Do We Have to Learn about the Brain?" or "My mother went to a psychologist who was no help at all!"It is clearly intended to be used as a supplement to an intro psychology textbook (the author discusses asking your professor, etc), but it covers a lot of broad topics, such as theories, free will, statistics, the naturalistic fallacy, common sense, coincidences, etc. While these topics are good for a more advanced class as well, this book[let] doesn't go into enough depth (intentionally). I thought that the issues that it covered were important, and well addressed with a conversational tone, clear logic, good examples, humorous stories, and just enough references used to give credibility. The problem is just where it fits in, and how it can be used. It almost seems as if it should be bundled with textbooks rather than as a stand-a-lone. I wish there was a version that was more broadly written such that I would want to give it to my family as a way of informing them about psych.
