What is Personality : What Makes You the Way You Are about?

Review "The author unearths a few everyday characteristics shared by people who say they are happy, including good health, a feeling of autonomy, and social correctiveness. To that list, one might add browsing through this thought-provoking book."--O: The Oprah Magazine, on Happiness "Excellent survey of the subject-a lucid, intelligent, and thoughtful essay."--Lancet "An authoritative, challenging, even profound analysis of the most up-to-date research into its subject."--Winston Fletcher, THES "The five factors or dimensions of personality are extraversion, neuroticism, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness. Proceeding in the manner of pop-psych text, Nettle cites clinical cases to illustrate each trait.... Psychology for the general reader is very seldom this substantial and jargon-free."--Sci-Tech Spotlight "A fun, cute, engaging book about the state of the art in personality research...offers clear, succinct, engaging descriptions of these [five-factors], calling on current research as much as on examples of individuals...The soundness of its underlying research and its extensive endnotes and references gives this little book empirical weight."--Choice Product Descri
