| Summary |
"Everyone is interested in an always-fascinating subject: personality. Everyone wants to reach certain goals. These goals differ for different people, but all people are concerned about how best to accomplish what they set out to do. Some are more successful than others in their efforts. Can the others develop, correct certain reactions, improve certain attitudes? In recent years much has been learned about personality: how it grows and develops, how it can be harmed and impaired, how it can be improved and enriched. Scientific research has been carefully conducted, and the results can be translated into everyday living to make it both happier and more effective. An awareness of how ways of thinking, of fearing, of hoping, of believing, came to be, is not only interesting but helpful in such an endeavor. For it is such reactions as these that contribute to and influence everything you plan and undertake"--Foreword. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved). |
