It is one of the great mysteries of human nature. Why are some people worriers, and others wanderers? Why are some people so easy-going and laid-back, while others are always looking for a fight?Written by Daniel Nettle--author of the popular book Happiness--this brief volume takes the reader on an exhilarating tour of what modern science can tell us about human personality. Revealing that our personalities stem from our biological makeup, Nettle looks at the latest findings from genetics and brain science, and considers the evolutionary origins and consequences of different personalities. The heart of the book sheds light on the "big five": Extraversion, Neuroticism, Conscientious, Agreeableness, and Openness. Using a stimulating blend of true-life stories and scientific research, Nettle explains why we have something deep and consistent within us that determines the choices we make and situations we bring about. He addresses such questions as why members of the same family differ so markedly in their natures? What is the best personality to have--a bold one or a shy one, an aggressive one or a meek one? And are you stuck with your personality, or can you change it? Life, Nettle concludes, is partly the business of finding a niche where your personality works for you. "It is a question of choosing the right pond," he notes, "and being mindful of the dangers." There is no ideal personality to have. Every disposition brings both advantages and disadvantages.
Full of human wisdom as well as scientific insight, this book illuminates the pluses and minuses of personality, offering practical advice about living with the nature you were born with. It even includes a questionnaire so that you can assess yourself.

Proper fit in all they wearability
Size: X-Large, Color: Black/Graphite (6-pairs)
I hate wearing any other type of socks anymore because you get fluid and my legs and these don't cut into my ankles they're very comfortable

Repurchased many times. My husband's "everything" socks!
Size: X-Large, Color: White/Graphite (6-pairs)
My husband always asks for a new pack of these UA socks every birthday and Christmas. He wears them with all types of shoes and for everything he does: daily work, weekend casual, and athletics. They're thick, super soft, and durable, but yet still breathable--even in the heat of summer. It takes months and months of constant wear and washings before they develop holes in the heel. Great socks!

Great socks
Size: X-Large, Color: White/Graphite (6-pairs)
I really like these socks. Feel good, long lasting, high quality. Fortunately they are not as high at the ankle as they look in the picture.

Very Nice Athletic Socks - Fit as expected.
Size: X-Large, Color: Black/Graphite (6-pairs)
So far so good. I purchased the XL size and they fit well for my size 14 feet. They seem to have held up well in the 7 days I have been wearing them - 2 washes so far. Only time will tell if they last. I do know if you walk around the house in your socks they will develop holes on the bottom much faster than if you just wear them in shoes.

Favorite socks
Size: X-Large, Color: Black/Graphite (6-pairs)
Great quality, very comfortable and soft. Have a decent thickness to them without making your feet hot and aren't too tight around the ankles
