The psychology of personality is a complicated topic. This book argues that the idea of the authentic self is a lie. There are far more contributing factors to personality than we're led to believe, and in this episode, I chat about; the 3 factors that determine who you are, how you can make changes to the fundamental 'you', and how we can finally cut ourselves some slack when we change as people.

You can watch the Ted Talk that inspired the book: https://www.ted.com/talks/brian_little_who_are_you_really_the_puzzle_of_personality
