In the past few decades, personality psychology has made considerable progress in raising new questions about human nature—and providing some provocative answers. New scientific research has transformed old ideas about personality based on the theories of Freud, Jung, and the humanistic psychologies of the nineteen sixties, which gave rise to the simplistic categorizations of the Meyer-Briggs Inventory and the "enneagream." But the general public still knows little about the new science and what it reveals about who we are.
In Me, Myself, and Us, Brian Little, Ph.D., one of the psychologists who helped re-shape the field, provides the first in-depth exploration of the new personality science and its provocative findings for general readers. The book explores questions that are rooted in the origins of human consciousness but are as commonplace as yesterday's breakfast conversation. Are our first impressions of other people's personalities usually fallacious? Are creative individuals essentially maladjusted? Are our personality traits, as William James put it, "set like plaster" by the age of thirty? Is a belief that we are in control of our lives an unmitigated good? Do our singular personalities comprise one unified self or a confederacy of selves, and if the latter, which of our mini-mes do we offer up in marriage or mergers? Are some individuals genetically hard-wired for happiness? Which is the more viable path toward human flourishing, the pursuit of happiness or the happiness of pursuit?文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2751.html
Little provides a resource for answering such questions, and a framework through which readers can explore the personal implications of the new science of personality. Questionnaires and interactive assessments throughout the book facilitate self-exploration, and clarify some of the stranger aspects of our own conduct and that of others. Brian Little helps us see ourselves, and other selves, as somewhat less perplexing and definitely more intriguing.文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2751.html

你是否认为自己是某种性格的人？你是不是坚信大五人格、九型人格的测验结果？是否认为自己的性格适合或不适合某种行业？是否认为许多情况下的不成功都是因为性格中的局限？我们常常习惯于将自己当作某一类人，将自己限制在某一种生活模式上，但这却常常给我们的生活和工作带来困扰。文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2751.html
