She lives in Los Angeles with Dr. Small and their two children. PREFACE Think of the person you most admire. How would you describe her personality? Is she outgoing, warm, conscientious? Do you think of her as funny, confident or generous? Perhaps you wish you were more like her in some ways. Now think of someone you don't care for. What is it about his personality that you don't like? Is he anxious, short-tempered, or unreliable? You probably don't try to emulate that person. For most of us, it's usually easier to recognize other people's personality characteristics and quirks than it is to see them in ourselves. Consider your own personality. Are you extroverted and popular? Perhaps you see yourself as shy and reserved. Are there any qualities about yourself you would change if you could? Personality defines who we are as individuals. It is a sum of the relatively stable traits that make up our unique character and is driven by our distinctive patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Each of us has a personality-fingerprint that reflects who we are - our inner temperament that drives how we act and react in the world. Experts in psychology and psychiatry have long assumed that our personalities are essentially set from early childhood. However, the latest scientific evidence contradicts this long-held assumption. New compelling research indicates that we can change our personalities - either on our own, with the help of a therapist, or a combination of the two. And, we now know that meaningful personality change can be achieved in as little as 30 days. As you read SNAP, you will gain a better understanding of who you are now, how others see you, and which aspects of yourself you'd like to change. You will acquire the tools you need to change your personality, and it won't take years of psychotherapy, self-exploration or re-hashing every single bad thing that's ever happened to you. If you are committed to change, this book will provide a roadmap to achieving your goals and becoming a better you. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS PREFACE CHAPTER 1: What is Personality? Can You Change Yours?
