The Personality Puzzle

Widely applauded for its balance of classic and contemporary theories of personality psychology, The Personality Puzzle returns in a Third Edition. Preserving the features that have set The Personality Puzzle apart -- a sophisticated yet accessible approach, lively prose, and transparent analysis -- the new edition has been meticulously updated in light of current studies, including evolutionary and cultural theory and behavioral genetics. The Third Edition also introduces an engaging collection of artwork, featuring cartoons from The New Yorker and Gary Larson\'s The Far Side. Written by one of the most important scholars working in the discipline today, and priced significantly lower than its competitors, The Personality Puzzle remains the foremost text for courses in personality psychology.
