Описание книги

Most of us feel “stuck with ourselves” at one time or another – and that negative aspects of our personality are deeply ingrained from childhood or genetics so therefore cannot be altered. But new studies have shown that changing aspects of your personality IS possible, giving new hope to anyone who wants to improve results in personal, family, business, and civic relationships. Based on the latest information from the fields of neuroscience and psychology, Dr. Gary Small presents a proven program anyone can use to assess their strengths and weaknesses, and then work on changing their negatives to positives. Small provides step-by-step advice that can show results in as little as 30 days. SNAP covers the difference between genetic personality traits and how your family experiences and the community you grow up in influences your personality – the key aspects of social programming. He then explains how it is possible to “reboot” your personality in order to become a more positive person., or to improve other aspects of personality such as being an introvert versus an extravert. Included is a self-assessment that readers can also use with friends and family. Also covered will be choosing and working the right psychotherapists, the upside and drawbacks of medications and alternative holistic therapies.

The American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (fifth edition) lists the following personality disorders that cause social and professional impairment:

Thankfully, less than 10 percent of the population suffers from a true personality disorder that debilitates their lives. However, the other 90 percent of us are not necessarily happy with each and every aspect of our own personalities. Many of the patients I see believe that one or more of their character traits are holding them back from reaching their professional goals, forming satisfying and supportive relationships, and remaining mentally and physically healthy. And for the longest time, there didn’t seem like much we could do about it, outside of the slow and laborious changes that can sometimes be achieved through psychoanalysis.
