"...when I [get funding for new books] I will probably go with Myers because he is able to write the information in a way high school students can understand and relate to. He also incorporates real life examples and stories throughout the units, yet keeps the rigor needed for an AP class."
-Lisa Hayashi, Kalani High School, Hawaii
 
"[The AP® Myers program is] By far the most logistically organized resource for AP® success. Dr. Myers is certainly the name to know and refer to for passing the AP® test and student preparation...."
-Donna Maygren, Adolfo Camarillo High School, California
 
"Myers' Psychology for AP® text retains all of the pertinent information from the Myers' *Psychology *text, with added features tailored to students preparing for the AP exam. I think that this text is the obvious choice for any school that is looking to give their students the best opportunity to excel in an AP Psychology class."
-Kim Ulven, Hawley High School, Minnesota
 
"I must say, I've never seen students enjoy a textbook as much as Myers' Psychology. I have students ask to take home the book just for some fun reading; It's truly a great textbook and makes Psychology fun and easy to teach."

With support from National Science Foundation grants, Myers’ scientific articles have appeared in three dozen scientific periodicals, including Science, American Scientist, Psychological Science, and American Psychologist. In addition to his scholarly and textbook writing, he digests psychological science for the general public. His writings have appeared in four dozen magazines, from Today’s Education to Scientific American. He also has authored six general audience books, including, in 2022, How Do We Know Ourselves? Curiosities and Marvels of the Human Mind. And he blogs about psychology and life at TalkPsych.com.

David Myers has chaired his city’s Human Relations Commission, helped found a thriving assistance center for low-income families, and spoken to hundreds of college, community, and professional groups worldwide. Drawing on his experience of hearing loss, which now includes a cochlear implant, he also has written articles and a book (A Quiet World) about hearing loss, and he is advocating a transformation in U.S. assistive listening technology (see HearingLoop.org). For his leadership, he has received awards from the American Academy of Audiology, the hearing industry, and the Hearing Loss Association of America.

David and Carol Myers met and married while undergraduates, and have raised sons Peter and Andrew, and a daughter, Laura. They have one grandchild, Allie.
