We will always learn more about human life and human personality from novels than from scientific psychology.
To what extent would you agree?
Just looking for your ideas, thanks!

it depends on what you read. I read a lot of science-fiction, science books for the layman, and political fiction and I’ve got great truths from all of them. Try “Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand and it’ll blow you away.

There’s one big thing that you’re not remembering!!! Most of the behaviors that are in novels are based on human behavior and a knowledge of psychology. Take Johnnatan Kellerman he’s not only a world renown author of crime novels he’s also a Psychologist who has a private practise and one of his protangist is also a psychologist. So a lot of authors use psychology to understand the reason that their charaters do what they do.
