Why has your consulting project gone off the rails? Why are my colleagues so annoyingly happy? Who started the ludicrous rumour that I am, in essence, a total jerk?
These kinds of questions arise often in our every-day work and social environments and they underscore a vitally important point—personality plays a key role in whether our lives flounder or flourish. Drawing on the latest research in personality science, Professor Little explores how personality traits play a key role in how we make decisions, interact with others and handle the stresses of complex lives.
