Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Why are you confident in one situation and uncertain in another? Why do some parts of your personality seem to stay with you for years, while others change as your life changes?Personality Makes Sense explores the psychology behind what makes you you.Drawing on modern psychological research, Daniel May takes a clear and accessible look at personality - from the traits that shape our everyday behaviour to the powerful influence of relationships, environments, experiences and circumstances.Rather than treating personality as a fixed label or putting people neatly into boxes, this book explores why human behaviour is more complicated - and far more interesting - than that.Inside, you'll discover: - How psychologists understand and measure personality- Why personality can be both stable and surprisingly flexible- How situations influence the way we think, feel and behave- Why the same person can act very differently in different environments- How relationships and social experiences shape who we become- Why personality changes throughout life- What personality tests can - and cannot - really tell us- How understanding personality can help us understand ourselves and other peopleWritten without unnecessary jargon, Personality Makes Sense turns complex psychological ideas into explanations that are engaging, practical and easy to understand.You are not simply a personality type, a score on a test, or a collection of labels.You are the result of traits, experiences, relationships, environments and a lifetime of adaptation.And when you understand how those pieces fit together, personality starts to make sense.
