What if your personality isn't something you're stuck with, but something you can intentionally shape?

Drawing on decades of personality science and 15+ years of her own research on how people change, Shannon Sauer-Zavala shows readers how to identify the personality patterns standing between them and the lives they want, and how to change them.

She is wearing a sleeveless navy blue top, matching striped pants, and layered necklaces. A small side table with books and papers is next to her. The background features a two-tone wall, with a beige pattern on one side and a plain lighter color on the other.
