Personality : what makes you the way you are
Nettle, Daniel2009
Book
Why are some people worriers, and others wanderers? Why do some people seem good at empathising, and others at controlling? What is the best personality to have; a bold one or a shy one? And are you stuck with your personality? Daniel Nettle takes the reader on a tour through the science of human personality. Every disposition brings both advantages and disadvantages. Life is partly the business of finding a niche where your personal characteristics work for you. Full of human as well as scientific insight, this book will enable you to understand the perils and potentials of your personality to the full.
