As pioneering psychologist and neuroscientist Elaine Fox has discovered, our outlook on life reflects our primal inclination to seek pleasure or avoid dangerinclinations that, in many people, are healthily balanced. But when our ''fear brain'' or ''pleasure brain'' is too strong, the results can be disastrous, as those of us suffering from debilitating shyness, addiction, depression, or anxiety know all too well.Luckily, anyone suffering from these afflictions has reason to hope. Stunning breakthroughs in neuroscience show that our brains are more malleable than we ever imagined.

Book Synopsis''The best introduction to personality psychology I have ever read'' Robert Hogan, founder and president, Hogan Assessment SystemsWe are each born with a particular genetic makeup and traits that are further shaped by our individual environments and life experiences, creating a personality unique to us. But at no point are we given a manual for how to use that personality in our relationships or at work, for how to make sense of the facets that create our sense of self, or for how to troubleshoot our personality if there are things we are unhappy with.Personality: A User''s Guide is that missing manual. An authoritative and comprehensive guide to personality psychology, this book outlines the different building blocks of our personality, presents the many theories and models that have been argued over the years, and helps you identify where you stand on the spectrum of key traits that define us.Using this knowledge about yourself, the booTrade ReviewThe best introduction to personality psychology I have ever read. It is logically organised, very well-written, and scholarly without being pedantic. Best of all, it has a clear focus: it is intended to show readers how they can use data-based personality psychology to make sense out of themselves and their friends and family, and to use that information to improve their lives and their performance -- Robert Hogan, founder and president, Hogan Assessment SystemsAt last: a fun book on personality that is serious about its science. Absolute must-read for anyone interested in discovering the fascinating psychology of why people do what they do, as well as understanding who we are deep down -- Dr Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, psychologist, author and chief innovation officer, Manpower GroupThis is the most thought-provoking and stimulating book I've read on personality in the last decade. The authors' ability to integrate the historic body of evidence on personality with a contemporary perspective reflecting an inclusive and increasingly developmental world is second to none. I am particularly inspired by the concept of "Your self developing itself" and a truly dynamic view of the human condition. The book and the authors' challenge has changed my thinking -- Stewart Desson, founder of Lumina LearningAn informed, clear summary and exploration of the Big Five Personality model and beyond. Georgi and Nikita have deep knowledge of personality and, most interestingly, explain how it operates with other variables, including values, intelligence, religion, spiritualities and other situational influences. This kind of broad consideration is not only rare, but an exceptional and interesting feat. It's the kind of book you can read chapter by chapter or open at any page for a cogent exploration of the human thinking, feeling, behaviour and performance. They reference the latest research in a quickly evolving field and provide examples which help the reader understand research in practical terms. Finally, this book provides an optimistic, but not unrealistic, perspective on personality and life with all its complications and stresses. Read it and enjoy it -- Ron Warren, founder of LMAP and author of 'Personality at Work'

Trigger Publishing Humble: The Quiet Power of an Ancient Virtue
Book Synopsis'A persuasive case for being honest about your weaknesses – and shows how that can be a source of strength'Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Think Again'Humility is the solid foundation of all virtues' ConfuciusHumility. Understated, undervalued and very much underused; but understood and carried out effectively, it can be the most powerful and influential trait we have at our fingertips.In Humble, Daryl Van Tongeren, PhD, a leading researcher into the science of humility gives this unassuming trait a much-needed rebrand, explaining why the humble enjoy a more secure sense of self, handle challenges better, and, indeed, are often the people we like the most.It seems that we are becoming more and more polarized, and narcissism is on the rise. We live egocentric lifestyles, often driven inward. Can cultivating more humility be the antidote to a more and more self-centred world?In its true sense, humbleness is the happy medium between self-denial and self-obsession: It grants the holder an accurate view of reality. By seeing where we have room to improve, we can grow. By admitting our doubts, we can learn. And by acknowledging our own worldview as one among many, we can truly connect with others despite our differences.A thought-provoking call to reexamine our values, Humble signals a paradigm shift – from the frenzied 'self-esteem movement' to a better world in which we lift one another up.
