If you've ever taken a personality test like the Myers-Briggs or Enneagram, you may be surprised to learn these assessments are unscientific and can hinder your growth. The concept of a fixed "personality type" or a "real you" waiting to be discovered is misleading. Instead, personality is something you can intentionally choose and create. You are not defined by your past or trapped by unresolved traumas; rather, you can actively shape your identity and internal narrative to align with your future aspirations. Drawing on psychological research, Dr. Hardy challenges the belief that personality is innate and unchanging. He provides practical advice to help you cultivate desired traits and achieve your goals. Key insights include: avoiding the label of "former anything," as defining yourself by past successes can limit your potential; reframing negative memories as experiences that serve you; envisioning your "future self" to guide your decisions; focusing on a specific, compelling outcome to harness "pull motivation"; embracing new, emotionally uncomfortable situations; and measuring progress by personal growth rather than perceived deficiencies.
