Me, Myself and Us: How our personalities shape our lives

Chapter one of Brian Little's book starts with a quote:  
 

Every person is, in certain respects like all other people, like some other people and like no other person.

The book is called "Me, Myself and Us - The Science of Personality and the Art of Well Being." 

It delves into the fascinating and complex world of personality psychology from a man who's studied and lectured in the field for decades. 

Brian Little is a Fellow of the Well-Being Institute at Cambridge University. He divides his time between Cambridge and Ottawa where he is a Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus at Carleton University. 

Brian Little spoke with Anna Maria Tremonti, on The Current, in October.
