Interessante, wissenschaftlich fundierte Infos zum Thema Persönlichkeitspsychologie. Das Buch ist sympathisch und leicht verständlich geschrieben, mir aber doch zu anekdotisch und ausschweifend. Bei manchen Kapiteln habe ich mich ehrlicherweise auch etwas gelangweilt. Insgesamt aber verständlich aufbereitetes Wissen zur Thematik.

I heard about Brian Little in Susan Cain's 'Quiet Revolution' and thought I'd like to know more about his ideas on free trait theory. Unfortunately, Cain's is a MUCH better book despite being more narrowly focused. For me, Little's writing is overly chatty and way too many pages were spent on anecdotes. Towards the end I had to start skipping parts because it just wasn't holding my attention.

Provocative book on personality, personality, and all the different "selves" that make us who we are. Insightful on how to create a meaningful life by recognizing the benefits and drawbacks of who we are and how we inadvertently get in our own way. Written in a breezy style, I often found that I wanted more details and had more questions than answers. The last chapter pulls everything together quite well and gives the reader some solid application.
