Perspectives on Personality

Services were awesome; I got my purchased product within two weeks of purchase and the product came in perfect shape as noted!

Good textbook!

I purchased this book for a class I was taking and found that I enjoyed it a lot. The subject of personality is a wide one, but I found this book to explain the subject well and it was easy to read, which is a plus with textbooks. It's a little large, size wise, but other than that, I think its a great book.

Personality Theories

This book is an excellent source on the perspective of personality theories. It covers all aspects of personality in a manner that is easy to follow while still being thorough. I would suggest that any student that is studying personality theories using this book consider taking a course in abnormal psychology. The two courses together compliment each other.

I've been looking for this book for a long time. It's the most comprehensive and engaging treatment of this topic that I've run across. Everyone should read it!
