Personality Isn't Permanent

Break Free from Self-Limiting Beliefs and Rewrite Your Story

De: Benjamin Hardy

Narrado por: Sean Pratt

Psychologist and bestselling 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

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.

Cannot recommend this book enough!

This book is better, more actionable, and gives you the tools you need to create an incredible life.

This is the best personal development book I have ever read!

Don’t want it to end! Bought 3 printed copies!!

Easily one of the best books that I have read! (This shouldn’t be taken lightly, as I read a lot!) So many wonderful ideas, quotes and actionable steps all in one place! I am not even done listening to the audiobook (for the first time, as this clearly a book that I will intentionally come back to again and again), but I just bought 3 print copies to ensure I have one at home, one at work (college) and one to gift/loan! Now, I am trying to figure out how to make it required reading in my nutrition courses!

Fantastic! I will listen to this again and again!

Loved it.

This book helped me completely reframe my past so I can re-write my future! A must read for 2020. Thank you Dr. Hardy!

Number One Book of 2020

Life changing perspective. Must read/listen. Your life will never be the same. Well done sir.

Highly recommend

I really enjoyed the narrator. I thought he could have been the author the way he read the book with understanding. Practical and applicable content. I would highly recommend this book. I do wish it came with pdf's of the questions at the end of the chapters. I may have to get the hard copy too.
