Me, Myself and Us by Brian Little


This book provides a well-grounded introduction to the "Big Five" personality dimensions (Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, Neuroticism. Openness and Extroversion). Understanding these tendencies in ourselves and others can provide valuable insights into behaviour, helping us to be realistic in our expectations, to avoid misinterpreting the behaviours of others, and to recognize that environments and settings interact with personality to influence actions.

 A good introduction to the subject of personality subject.
There was a number of  anecdotes and examples used to illustrate the personality factors. 
It allows for reflecting, questioning, and learning about ourselves and others we interact with. 

There’s no groundbreaking research, and the book is not a self-help manual.
