This book was fascinating, but there were parts that I think could have been written more clearly.
I delved right into this book because of my background training in Psychology and I was really fascinated by the author's take that we embody contradictions and that these contradictions are paradoxical.
He also goes further to argue that though we exhibit these inconsistencies, there is a pattern to them and he explores this using four fundamental kinds of contradiction.
Aside from the Psychology, I loved that he did his research and even explored various theories and provided case examples. I do however wish that the style of writing was like it was in the first chapter, because this gave it a more conversational appeal, when the facts start coming in, it loses this feel. I received a digital copy of the book from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review and my parting shot is this, if you'd love to learn a thing or two about personality traits, then get this book.
