Business. Psychology. Self-Improvement. Nonfiction. HTML:Psychologist and bestselling author Benjamin Hardy, PhD, debunks the pervasive myths about personality that prevent us from learning�??and provides bold strategies for personal transformation
 
In Personality Isn�??t Permanent, Dr. Benjamin Hardy draws on psychological research to demolish the popular misconception that personality�??a person�??s consistent attitudes and behaviors�??is innate and unchanging. Hardy liberates us from the limiting belief that our �??true selves�?� are to be discovered, and shows how we can intentionally create our desired selves and achieve amazing goals instead. He offers practical, science-based advice to for personal-reinvention, including:
     

   �?� Why personality tests such as Myers-Briggs and Enneagram are not only psychologically destructive but are no more scientific than horoscopes
   �?� Why you should never be the �??former�?� anything�??because defining yourself by your past successes is just as damaging to growth as being haunted by past failures
   �?� How to design your current identity based on your desired future self and make decisions here-and-now through your new identity
   �?� How to reframe traumatic and painful experiences into a fresh narrative supporting your future success
   �?� How to become confident enough to define your own life�??s purpose
   �?� How to create a network of �??empathetic witnesses�?� who actively encourage you through the highs and lows of extreme growth
   �?� How to enhance your subconscious to overcome addictions and limiting patterns
   �?� How redesign your environment to pull you toward your future, rather than keep you stuck in the past
   �?� How to tap into what psychologists call �??pull motivation�?� by narrowing your focus on a single, definable, and compelling outcome
 
The book includes true stories of intentional self-transformation�??such as Vanessa O�??Brien, who quit her corporate job and set the Guinness World Record for a woman climbing the highest peak on every continent in the fastest time; Andre Norman, who became a Harvard fellow after serving a fourteen-year prison sentence; Ken Arlen, who instantly quit smoking by changing his identity narrative; and Hardy himself, who transcended his childhood in a broken home, surrounded by issues of addiction and mental illness, to earn his PhD and build a happy family.

Filled with strategies for reframing your past and designing your future, Personality Isn�??t Permanent
