Peebee's review
of
Me, But Better: The Science and Promise of Personality Change:
"I started off rather slowly with this one: I found the author a little difficult to take, and I didn’t necessarily see myself relating to her changes (neuroticism in particular.) She just seemed like a difficult person whose problems were mostly self"

Melody L's review
of
Me, But Better: The Science and Promise of Personality Change:
"Let me save you some time.
Your personality is the story you tell yourself about your identity. It’s made up of habits and beliefs. You can change those habits and beliefs. But it takes intentional work. " |

“This was a mouth that had suffered many slings and arrows along with the occasional thrashing and several hundredweight of tobacco and Cadbury's milk chocolate. This was a mouth through which a great deal of life had passed at, it would appear, an uncompromising speed.”

“Wenn irgendein Gegenstand zur Gottheit des Techniktagebuchs erhoben und etwa jede halbe Stunde angebetet werden müsste, weil er uns den unendlichen Kreislauf von Problem und Lösung, Problem und Lösung im Universum vor Augen führt, dann ist es der Uhrenbeweger für selbstaufziehende Uhren.”

“The authors of a seminal paper on the symbiotic view of life take a clear stance on this point. “There have never been individuals,” they declare. “We are all lichens.”

“Cynthia Dusel-Bacon, by all accounts a rugged thirty-one-year-old geologist, was conducting a land survey in the Alaskan bush in 1977 when she saw an aggressive black bear beelining toward her. Dusel-Bacon waved her arms and shouted, right up until the moment the bear knocked her down, after which she decided to play dead so the bear wouldn’t see her as a threat. That was a consequential error in judgment, experts said afterward, because the 170-pound bear likely never saw her as a threat. It was just hungry. When she stopped resisting, it dragged her into the trees and began to eat her alive. Even as some parts of her body disappeared down the throat of the bear, other parts of her body, quite heroically, accessed a communication device and alerted a partner in the area as to her emergency. Other geologists arrived in a helicopter and scared the bear off in time to save her life. The never-say-die Dusel-Bacon went on to post instructional YouTube videos in which she demonstrates how to chop carrots, wash dishes, and get dressed with two prosthetic arms.”
