Interested in a book on interesting theories / human behaviour

[p4poo]

Ok, it's a bit of a tricky one, I'm not sure if it's a pyscology or sociology type book I'm after..

 

 

I was browsing wikipedia yesterday and came accross 'bystander theory' which I found really interesting and wondered what books there are with a load of theories like the one I mentioned above?

 

or for example, a book looking into why humans behave like they do... Why do we drink? How do we chose who our friends are? why do we conform?

 

Type questions... a bit strange I know but I'm really interested in this kind of thing

Personally I quite liked Richard D. Gross - Psychology as an introduction. I think it's a study book but I quite enjoyed reading it. Another book that involves human behaviour is Richard Wiseman - Quirkology. I haven't really read many other books about the subject, that I remember at the moment.
