No Two Alike: Human Nature and Human Individuality by Judith Rich Harris
3.0
The author suggests that there are three main factors besides genes and environment (nature and nurture) that influence our personalities: the desire for favorable relationships, the need to be a member of a group, and the drive to maintain status within that group and those relationships. In order to accomplish this, we modify our behavior according to the situation and the people involved.
In other words, your personality is not you. It's the part of you that you choose to show to certain people in certain situations. And your old habits can be changed and modified even in adulthood. Just as the mindfulness community has been telling us, we have control over our own experience. Our interactions and reactions are our own responsibility.
