'[T]his book offers a good mix of philosophical chapters on the biology of personality and some interesting chapters on intra- and inter-individual differences in some classic social psychological constructs.' (Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, Personality and Individual Differences)   'Novel ideas that interface the fields of neuroscience, neuropsychology, and cognitive science with the traditional areas of personality theory and assessment. Groundbreaking and engaging. This volume will be of value to scientists and practitioners interested in broadening their paradigms for understanding personality, mind, and brain.' (Antonio E. Puente, University of North Carolina-Wilmington)
