內容簡介:
In MULTIPLICITY, Rita Carter - award-winning science writer
and international speaker - offers a new and vital understanding of
personality. Rita explains that nearly every one of us is a team of
personalities, working together, for the most part, to give the
impression of a unified self. We are used to thinking of ourselves
as one thing or the other - either introvert or extrovert, say -
but things are rarely that simple for most of us. That''s why we
sometimes feel like a different person depending on mood, company
and surroundings, why we sometimes suffer unaccountable memory
lapses, why we buy something we then decide we didn''t want in the
first place, or why ''somebody else'' turns off the alarm clock in
the morning. Importantly, MULTIPLICITY is also a practical guide to
building a happy ''household'' of personalities, explaining how to
identify these different versions of ourselves and how to enable
them to co-operate so that we can function successfully in life.
MULTIPLICITY is both an eye-opening and highly practical account of
personality.
