Скачать или смотреть Does our advice actually work? | Olga Khazan, Being Well

Can we really change our personalities? Today I'm joined by someone who’s actually tried most of the things we talk about on the channel: journalist and author Olga Khazan.

Olga shares the personal experiments that led to her becoming more extroverted and agreeable, and less neurotic. We discuss the Big Five personality traits, how behavior shapes identity, the role of self-concept, authenticity, and some of the common challenges people face when trying to change a core aspect of who they are.
