gee those sure were a lot of perspectives on personality

I found this book a little strange. I read of for my Personality Psychology class and couldn't help but notice how much overlap there was in other units (and other textbooks). Kind of made me wonder why they have a whole dedicated unit to Personality and yet ignore other domains (like evolutionary psychology) which might warrant an entire textbook.

To be fair, it does cover personality perspectives across a bunch of domains, but I found much of the content just had so much overlap with other units, despite it trying to 'personality it up' a lot.
Easy to read and digest though, so no complaints really other than feeling it was a bit redundant.

Having done barely any non academic reading this year so including this out of spite 😁. Provides a range of psychological perspectives on personality and some interesting studies, overall a good read:)
