But how about writing and publishing Amazon best seller ranked psychology book?

Would this be considered as academic or extracurricular category? Wouldn’t it be academic because it relates to my psychology major?

I think the answer to that is going to depend on the book. Was it self-published or published by a legitimate academic press? If self-published or a “pay to play” type situation, that would fall under extracurricular. If submitted to an academic press and vetted by professionals via an actual publishing contract, that might be considered an academic accomplishment.
