Résumé du livre

Brian R. Little is a pioneer in the study of personality, motivation and well-being. His work focuses on the effects of inner well-being on our lives. He has published and spoken widely on this topic. He has also taught at Oxford, Carleton and Harvard Universities.

Human personalities are highly dynamic. While specific traits remain relatively constant over a person's lifetime, others are subject to change based on shifting priorities. Striking a balanced combination of control, commitment, and challenge, while harnessing positive illusions, is crucial for personal growth and well-being. Chase after your passions. Engage in endeavors that genuinely resonate with you, focusing on those where you have a good chance of succeeding. Discovering a sense of purpose in life is a fundamental aspect of achieving happiness.

"When changing or challenging the self is regarded as a personal initiative rather than an external imposition, it is likely to be more meaningful, manageable, and sustainable."

"Your deeds speak louder than your dispositions."

"Infants who are temperamentally easygoing and affable raise their parents very differently than those who are cranky and tense."
