Cataloged by the Library of Congress

BOCA RATON, FL – July 31, 2025 – Depthmark Press is proud to announce the release of The Psychology of Being Human: An Authoritative Guide to Mind, Emotion, and Meaning by RJ Starr, a professor of psychology and independent scholar whose work examines the emotional, cognitive, and existential foundations of human life. The book will be released in hardcover and digital formats on September 20, 2025.

Blending academic rigor with accessible insight, The Psychology of Being Human offers a sweeping psychological framework for understanding how people make sense of their experiences, regulate emotion, and construct identity in an increasingly fragmented world. Drawing from affective neuroscience, developmental and personality psychology, existential theory, and trauma studies, the book serves as both a foundational resource and a cultural commentary.

Positioned as a definitive psychological resource for advanced high school courses, university classrooms, and public scholarship, the book bridges academic theory and everyday understanding. With conceptual depth and classroom-ready clarity, it is designed to support both individual readers and educational use.

The Psychology of Being Human has been cataloged by the Library of Congress, Control Number 2025916521, confirming its inclusion in the national bibliographic record.

“Many people feel like they’re unraveling in a world that keeps accelerating,” says author RJ Starr. “But what we’re often missing isn’t knowledge—it’s psychological integration. This book was written to bring that integration back into reach.”

Across more than 650 pages, Starr maps out the key structures of psychological life, from cognition and belief to emotional development, self-awareness, and meaning-making. Rather than prescribing one-size-fits-all solutions, the book offers clarity, precision, and depth—qualities often missing in a mental health landscape dominated by quick fixes and performative optimism.

RJ Starr is the founder of Depthmark Press and the creator of The Psychology of Us podcast. His work appears across academic and public platforms and is recognized for its conceptual clarity, emotional precision, and sustained focus on the psychology of disruption, repair, and maturity.

The Psychology of Being Human will be available at major retailers, independent bookstores, and online platforms worldwide. Review copies, media interviews, and academic desk copies are available upon request.

With its integrative approach and scholarly foundation, The Psychology of Being Human is ideally suited for educators, students, and lifelong learners alike. It is being positioned as a comprehensive companion text for courses in general psychology, emotional development, and existential studies, and is available for review by instructors and institutions seeking an authoritative resource.
