Von der hinteren Coverseite

'It's not an exaggeration to say this book will change your life' Nir Eyal, bestselling author of Indistractable

What if you could exploit the plasticity of personality to change yourself in specific ways?

Would you choose to become less neurotic? More self-disciplined? Less shy? Be Who You Want dismantles the common belief that we're stuck with what we've been given and explains not only how to anticipate the ways that life events leave their mark, but also how to deliberately shape our personalities to influence the course of our lives.

Dr Christian Jarrett draws on the latest research to provide evidence-based ways to change each of the main five personality traits, including how to become more emotionally stable, extraverted and open-minded. He features compelling stories of people who have achieved profound personality change and delves into the so-called dark triad of personality traits and how we might exploit their advantages without ourselves going over to the dark side.

Filled with quizzes and interactive exercises to help you better understand the various aspects of your personality, your life story and your passions, Be Who You Want will appeal to anyone who has ever felt constrained by how they've been characterised and wants to pursue lasting change.
