Personality Isn't Permanent

Break Free from Self-Limiting Beliefs and Rewrite Your Story

De: Benjamin Hardy

Narrado por: Sean Pratt

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)

Update

My Audible library is well over a hundred titles. Almost all of them have something to do with self discovery or development. I have several shelves of hard copy books on the same topics. Personality Isn't Permanent pulls everything together in a way that leaves me eager to do the exercises in the book and able to believe in myself again. Thank You, Dr. Hardy,
6/28/20 update. Finished first listen. I let the material digest for a few days and now find myself eager to start again from the beginning, write down all of the questions and exercises and greet Future Self with open arms. This is good as it gets and is real Self Help.

Great information and life changing information!

All of the information was helpful and straight to the point. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to level up in life and business!

More. More. More.

I appreciated the constructs it challenged in my own mind. I was hoping for more content.

oh so many GEMS in this wonderful book!!

Only just finished this book today after having it since its release. As I listened to chapter 5 and felt a face palm reverberate through my whole body, I do feel a tiny bit better and lighter for all my stalling tactics. As recommended in chapter 5 (apparently chapter 5 was like opening a can of whoop ass for me) today I will begin carrying and using a RAGE journal. Turns out that that is one of the things I haven’t done in my-oh-so-many efforts to relieve my chronic back pain. This is only one of the gems that I am taking away as I plan to start listening again in a few days. This book gets my highest recommendation!

Relevant and incredibly impactful

Well written and powerfully delivered content. I really appreciate the practical, simple, and actionable information backed by research and the narrative of personal experiences.

Personality Isn’t Permanent

This book is life changing. It’s not just lofty ideas. It presents pragmatic, every-day solutions to change your life and achieve unlimited potential.

Multiple listens loading!

I absolutely love this book. Awakening, stimulating and just what I needed. And it was read so beautifully...the narrator's delivery surely enhanced the message of the book. I will be listening to this at least once a year for the next few years of creating the "future me".

Eye Opener

I love the stories Benjamin adds in thru out the book. It helps give me a better understanding of what he is talking about in that moment.

What an amazing book.

Benjamin Hardy surprised me with amazing book. I bought it some time ago and didn’t get started, but last week I did and then I finished it in 3 days.

I can’t wait to read it again. It’s one if those books, you just want to repeat to ensure you got every detail with you.

I’m fortunate to have found this book, I’ve read it and now I give it to you to feel as fortunate as me.

Excellent!

This book has inspired me to move forward like no other book has. I have written 63K words on a book I have been talking about for years. I have lost 55 pounds. Two of my friends and I have started an accountability group as a result of reading this book
