Resumen del Editor

Psychologist and best-selling author Benjamin Hardy, PhD, debunks the pervasive myths about personality that prevent us from learning - and provides bold strategies for personal transformation.

In Personality Isn’t Permanent, Dr. Benjamin Hardy draws on psychological research to demolish the popular misconception that personality - a person’s consistent attitudes and behaviors - is innate and unchanging. Hardy liberates us from the limiting belief that our “true selves” are to be discovered and shows how we can intentionally create our desired selves and achieve amazing goals instead. He offers practical, science-based advice to for personal-reinvention, including:

• Why personality tests such as Myers-Briggs and Enneagram are not only psychologically destructive, but are no more scientific than horoscopes
• Why you should never be the “former” anything - because defining yourself by your past successes is just as damaging to growth as being haunted by past failures
• How to design your current identity based on your desired future self and make decisions here and now through your new identity
• How to reframe traumatic and painful experiences into a fresh narrative supporting your future success
• How to become confident enough to define your own life’s purpose
• How to create a network of “empathetic witnesses” who actively encourage you through the highs and lows of extreme growth
• How to enhance your subconscious to overcome addictions and limiting patterns
• How redesign your environment to pull you toward your future, rather than keep you stuck in the past
• How to tap into what psychologists call “pull motivation” by narrowing your focus on a single, definable, and compelling outcome

The audiobook includes true stories of intentional self-transformation - such as Vanessa O’Brien, who quit her corporate job and set the Guinness World Record for a woman climbing the highest peak on every continent in the fastest time; Andre Norman, who became a Harvard fellow after serving a 14-year prison sentence; Ken Arlen, who instantly quit smoking by changing his identity narrative; and Hardy himself, who transcended his childhood in a broken home, surrounded by issues of addiction and mental illness, to earn his PhD and build a happy family.

Filled with strategies for reframing your past and designing your future, Personality Isn’t Permanent is a guide to breaking free from the past and becoming the person you want to be.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"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." (J. J. Virgin, author of The Virgin Diet)

Incredible.

I will read this again and again. I 100% recommend it to anyone stuck in a limited mindset or wanting more from life.

Amazing, life-transforming

I have read several self-help books in the past year—being underemployed has been something like a mid-life crisis for me. This book is better than any other I’ve read (& I’ve read classics like “Mindset” & “Think & Grow Rich,” 3 excellent Brian Tracy titles, & many other great books). Most of the other books ranged from really good to extremely helpful. I would even call a couple of them “transformative.” “Personality Isn’t Permanent” goes beyond them because it truly blew my mind.
“Mind-blowing” isn’t a technical description, of course. Let’s just say I feel as if Benjamin Hardy has just handed me an entirely new life. And not just any brand new life—a life I am genuinely excited about!
I have seen Benjamin Hardy’s YouTube videos & his excellent 30-Day Future Self Program, & to be honest, to me he looks like an enthusiastic teenager. He just looks so young!
But this guy is the real deal. I would call his ideas radical: he is not messing around. For example, I was scarred by abuse during my youth. I have learned the lessons, good & bad, that abuse survivors learn. It’s a risky endeavor to reach out to people who have suffered certain kinds of traumas & tell them, “You’re going to be okay! Everything happens for a reason!” I obviously cannot pretend to speak for other abuse survivors, but for me, Ben Hardy successfully pulls it off in this book. I believe I can trust what he says.
Read this book if you feel that there’s something better out there for you. There *is* something better! This book will help you find it.

Get it Now....true gem

This is a life changing book worth the listen and read. If you want to be the best version of yourself then take the time to listen with an open mind and heart

Excellent find!

I love this book! Exceeded a lot of standards, and the communication style is welcoming!

Speechless

This book is highly recommended to anyone who is wanting to experience change and grow as a person as well as a tool to help you better understand yourself and where you want to be in the future while changing your
past

Life Changing!

This book is life changing! It has opened me up to so many things I’d never realized before!

A genuine look at who we can be!

This is one of the best books I have read ever. The examples are real and personal and the guidance is not some quick scheme. Putting your focus on the future and who you want to be in the future allows you to create yourself at your own pace. Everybody is unique.

a most listen to!

really great information. is a must listen for anyone wanting to grow and become his best self!!

What a gem!!! 💎 Deserves to be a classic.

I listen to a lot of personal growth/psychology content and this book really STANDS OUT. So good, I had to order a hard copy. Seriously deserves to be a classic. Life-altering content and ORIGINAL new ideas. This is one that will be marked up, full of post-it notes, and carried around for quite some time. It’s a rare book indeed that earns such a place in my life. A must have for anyone in coaching or therapy, for parents, for anyone who wants to have an outstanding partnership, for anyone who wants to succeed in life, and for EVERYONE who aspires to be the best version of themself. One more perk! He also quotes and therefore helps you discover many other brilliant authors. I loved that!...and as a result, happily ended up with more books on my wishlist.

Amazing Title EXCEEDED by MORE Amazing Content!

I'm on my second listen and I suspect this is going to be an annual tradition going forward. This book is full of novel concepts that when you hear, seem like something so true it's like you knew all along. Like an eternal truth forgotten but now reminded.

I recommend this book very highly. Out of perhaps 300 books in my library, this is my new favorite. Thank you!
