About This Book

What is personality and how is it structured? Why do some individuals behave differently when faced with similar situations? Finding out what personality is and how it works has never been easier. In this guide, we review the main currents of thought regarding the science of personality. From physiological and biological theories to behavioural theories, from psychodynamics to the latest scientific research. Inside the book you will also find several tests and practical hints with which you can try your hand at better understanding yourself and the people around you. The book concludes with a summary and a self-examination test that allows the reader to review and fix the main concepts. Forget the thousands of pages or prohibitively expensive psychology textbooks and start exploring how your mind works through a series of guides at unbeatable prices.
