Summary:

In psychology as in other sciences and other fields, those who follow the crowd generally find the rewards--at least the more immediate ones-- to come much more easily and rapidly than do those who defy the crowd. This book shows firsthand the trials and tribulations, as well as the joys, of scientists who have chosen their own paths. It also provides positive role models for young (and older) scientists and encourages psychological scientists to stay true to their mission in their field.
