Hey, you left Astrology off the list 
The other two great ways to get an in depth look at human nature :
- Live with them for a couple of years.
- Take a teaching or Public Sales Job.
In the words of the great Prophet Emo Phillips 'I used to think that the brain was the most wonderful organ in my body. Then I realized who was telling me this.'

First I would suguest that you study everything that comes into your life. Evaluate things, see how they work or not work. Read books lots of them, or use the Internet if you prefer, on all the subjects that you are interested in. And take classes or attend lectures...I loved lectures, best of all! And, you could always go back to school and study the subjects that interest you.

Psychology. Says the BS in psychology.
Actually, I was working with a group writing a book called “Biology is not destiny” particularly as related to gender.

Pyschology yes, Biology yes, philosphy not so much. Add in Physics, Chemistry and sociology for good measure to. They are what is springing to mind at the moment, but I am sure there are others

why not philosophy? you don't see any worth in Bertrand Russell or Abraham Maslow or Jean Jacques Rousseau? please. those are most necessary.
@kauva The problem with philosophy is that you can talk for hours and hours and not get anywhere. I think philosphy can be used as a teaching tool to help plant an idea in peoples minds, but I would say that science, whilst it doesn't tell us everything, is the only thing that can tell us anything at all
