Daniel Nettle looks at the science of human personality, exploring the rich variety of our natures, how they might have evolved, and how all personalities can be defined remarkably accurately against five simple measures.

This book will make you look afresh at yourself and at those around you, and give you new insights into your own personality. It won’t tell you how you should live, but it might just help you live life to your strengths.
