How does your personality shape your life… and what, if anything, can you do about it?

Are you hardwired for happiness, or born to broo d? Do you think you’re in charge of your future, or do you surf the waves of unknowable fate? Would you be happier, or just less socially adept, if you were less concerned about what other people thought of you? And what about your “Type A” spouse: is he or she destined to have a heart attack, or just drive you to drink?

In the past few decades, new scientific research has transformed old ideas about the nature of human personality. Neuroscientists, biologists, and psychological scientists have reexamined the theories of Freud and Jung as well as the humanistic psychologies of the 1960s, upending the simplistic categorizations of personality “types,” and developing new tools and methods for exploring who we are.

Renowned professor and pioneering research psychologist Brian R. Little has been at the leading edge of this new science. In this wise and witty book he shares a wealth of new data and provocative insights about who we are, why we act the way we do, what we can—and can’t—change, and how we can best thrive in light of our “nature.”

Me, Myself, and Us explores questions that are rooted in the origins of human consciousness but are as commonplace as yesterday’s breakfast conversation, such as whether our personality traits are “set” by age thirty or whether our brains and selves are more plastic. He considers what our personalities portend for our health and success, and the extent to which our well-being depends on the personal projects we pursue.

Through stories, studies, personal experiences, and entertaining interactive assessments, Me, Myself, and Us provides a lively, thought-provoking, and ultimately optimistic look at the possibilities and perils of being uniquely ourselves, while illuminating the selves of the familiar strangers we encounter, work with, and love.

Reviews

“Me, Myself, and Us is a truly gripping look at questions at the heart of the human experience. Why do we do what we do? How does our environment shape our nature and our nature our environment? Are some people just innately happier than other? In crisp and lucid prose, one of the giants in the field of personality science tackles these questions and many more. I defy you to read this book and not change the way you think about your friends, your family, and yourself.”

—Daniel H. Pink, author of DRIVE and A WHOLE NEW MIND

Insightful, clever and practical. Professor Little is a genius, making personality psychology not only relevant but essential knowledge in the modern world. This book is one “aha” moment after another, each rocking your world and upending the way you think about your coworkers, your relationships and your life.”

—Shawn Achor, New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Advantage and CEO of GoodThink

“Me, Myself, and Us is a masterpiece. With extraordinary wit and wisdom, distinguished psychologist Brian Little offers startling insights about our trivial pursuits and magnificent obsessions. It should come with a warning label: this book will fundamentally change the way you see yourself and everyone you know.”

—Adam Grant, Wharton professor and bestselling author of Give and Take

“Brian Little is one of the wisest, funniest, kindest, and most erudite people I have ever met, and in this book you’ll be treated to a generous helping of all these personality traits. A monumentally important book for anyone who wants to understand their colleagues, their loved ones — and their very own selves.”

—Susan Cain, author of the New York Times bestseller Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking“

总体来说,这是一本不错的心理学方面的普及读物。 探讨的是人格与工作、生活等方面的关系,并否定了大五型人格的部分观点。 就我个人而言,当初买这本书主要是想看作者如何教我们突破自己的固有人格。 然而,看完本书,却令我大失所望。 所谓自由改变人格特质只占了书的一小部...

在Portland的Powell书店偶然遇到,是一本关于人格心理学的书籍。作者解析了人格的纬度,表达,拓展,如何与社会和环境因素相关联,以及有意义的个人实现对人生幸福感的贡献。读这本书的过程中,感觉又多了一个认识自己的纬度,很是有趣

我们不是要一直做自己,也可以不做自己。“啊~ 原来我也可以这样啊!”。

把自己真实的想法和情感埋藏得很深原来是特别普遍的。看完这本书对自己的了解也增长了不少。可以安慰自己的是,幸好随着年龄渐渐长大,已经越来越不怕面对自己内心最脆弱的部分了。

评分

许多关于自我和他人行为意识的迷思在开始阅读这本书的时候似乎逐一地找到了答案,在生活发生巨变的的时候感到措手不及又或是焦躁不安是一件异常普遍的事,重要的是学会如何去接受改变,更加勇敢地面对自己的情感。
