Personality Isn't Permanent

Description

Do you ever feel yourself settling into a rut, with your strengths and weaknesses permanently locked in, and your deepest aspirations out of reach? According to the psychologist Benjamin Hardy, too many of us associate ourselves with labels like "introvert" and "slow learner." We allow ourselves to be defined by our past traumas and actions, rather than embracing the reality that we are capable of much more than we imagine. This book is about letting go of the narrative in your head about who you are, your strengths and weaknesses, and what you are and aren't capable of. Hardy draws on the latest scientific research and true stories of radical self-transformations, including his own, to show you how to let go of your fears and self-defeating habits. Among the fascinating people you'll meet- * Dean Karnazes, who quit his corporate job and began a career as a runner after a spontaneous 10-mile run on his 30th birthday. * Josh Waitzkin, a teen chess prodigy, who survived an experience of nearly drowning and then trained himself to become a world-class long-distance swimmer. * Hardy himself, who transcended his childhood in a broken home, surrounded by issues of addiction and mental illness, to get his PhD and build a happy family. It doesn't matter what age or stage of life you are in. Benjamin Hardy's words have changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of readers across the world. Yours can be next.

"This is a generous, empowering and purposeful book. If you're ready, it will help you unlock a future that you may have been brainwashed into believing wasn't possible. Worth sharing a copy with someone you care about." --Seth Godin, author of This Is Marketing "Personality Isn't Permanent is possibly the best self-help book I've ever read, and a book that will redefine the genre. After this book, it's no longer good enough to talk about untested theory--Hardy backs everything up with both amazing stories and cutting edge, tested science, while still making it actionable to anyone. Best part: this is the book that destroys all the useless personality test peddlers that infect the world." --Tucker Max, author of I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell "In Personality Isn't Permanent, Hardy crushes an outdated paradigm and gives you the process to create a bigger, bolder future." --JJ Virgin, author of The Virgin Diet "Ben Hardy is proof of what he writes about. He keeps getting better and better--and so can you." --Ryan Holiday, author of Stillness is the Key "For those looking to up their game, Personality isn't Permanent is more than a hopeful and fascinating read, it is utterly applicable. In the crowded genre of self-help/business, Benjamin Hardy's book is a game changer." --Richard Paul Evans, author of The Christmas Box "Personality Isn't Permanent beautifully illustrates why people get stuck and provides a science-based process to help you transform yourself and your life.
