Brian R. Little, Me, Myself, and Us: The Science of Personality and the Art of Well-Being

“Infants who are temperamentally easygoing and affable raise their parents very differently than those who are cranky and tense.”
Brian R. Little, Who Are You, Really?: The Surprising Puzzle of Personality

“When changing or challenging the self is regarded as a personal initiative rather than an external imposition, it is likely to be more meaningful, manageable, and sustainable.”
Brian Little, Me, Myself, and Us: The Science of Personality and the Art of Well-Being
