Book Description:
New York Times bestselling author Dr. Gary Small’s breakthrough plan to improve your personality for a better life!
Experts in psychiatry and psychology have long believed that our personalities are essentially set from early childhood and remain consistent throughout life. However, the latest scientific research contradicts this long-held assumption. New compelling evidence indicates that we can change our personalities – either on our own, with the help of a therapist, or a combination of the two – and meaningful personality change can be achieved in a snap! – as quickly as 30 days. These groundbreaking findings have shattered the false belief that we are locked into our negative personality traits – no matter how much they hinder our potential happiness and success.
As you read SNAP! you will gain a better understanding of who you are now, how others see you, and which aspects of yourself you’d like to change. You will acquire the tools you need to change your personality in just one month – it won’t take years of psychotherapy, self-exploration or re-hashing every single bad thing that’s ever happened to you. If you are committed to change, this book will provide a roadmap to achieving your goals and becoming a better you.
From New York Times bestselling author, head of the UCLA Longevity Center, and expert in neuroscience and human behavior, Dr. Gary Small, a practical look at the key components of personality development and tools and techniques for bringing the positive aspects of your personality to the forefront so you can become more successful, attractive, happier, and psychologically healthier.

Your Personality Impacts Your Life
By Gary Small, MD and Gigi Vorgan
Some people readily accept who they
are and how their life is going, good or bad.
They have no interest in changing anything about themselves, especially
their personality. Most people, however,
feel that one or more of their character traits is holding them back –
affecting their relationships, careers, and all-around life satisfaction. If you are someone who wishes to change,
there is good reason to do so.
Compelling scientific evidence indicates that your personality predicts
many important outcomes in your life, including your physical health, success
in relationships, and financial security.
In our new book SNAP! Change Your
Personality in 30 Days, we show readers how they can quickly change
themselves and sustain those new character traits for the long haul.
Our personalities even influence our
life expectancy. Extroverts who are
friendlier and more socially connected live longer than introverts. Individuals who are emotionally stable enjoy longer
life expectancies than do people who are neurotic and have a higher risk of
death due to heart disease. Less
conscientious people, who are prone to taking risks, don’t live as long as
those who are more conscientious.
Your personality also influences your
brain health. Scientists at the
Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, assessed personality traits in older
adults and found that high emotional stability in combination with high
extraversion is the personality pattern associated with the lower risk for
dementia, depression, substance abuse, and phobias.
A National Institute on Aging study
showed that conscientious individuals achieve greater career success and have longer
and happier marriages. They take better
care of their health care needs and are less likely to suffer a stroke, develop
high blood pressure, or get Alzheimer’s disease. Those positive outcomes may be due to their
tendency to not smoke, avoid drinking alcohol in excess, and follow up on
medical advice.
Many explanations contribute to these
varied outcomes of an individual’s personality style. Neurotic people don’t handle stress well, and
chronic stress can lead to depression, age-related physical illnesses,
accidents, and other outcomes that make for a briefer lifespan. They also don’t take care of their health as
well as more emotionally stable individuals.
By contrast, a friendly extrovert enjoys the support of a social network
that can lend a hand when that person becomes ill or stressed out.
The bottom line is that we don’t have
to be prisoners of our old personality traits.
If we make the decision to free ourselves from those aspects of our
personalities that hold us back, we can begin to achieve the life we want.
