Werden, wer ich bin: Psychologisches Wissen zur Persönlichkeitsentwicklung

Leserinnen und Leser erfahren, wie sich Eigenschaften von Menschen im Durchschnitt im Laufe ihres Lebens verändern, welchen Einfluss Gene und Umwelterfahrungen haben, welche Rolle Lebensereignisse spielen und inwieweit sich Eigenschaften durch Coaching, Therapie und ähnliche Anstrengungen beeinflussen lassen. Realistische und anschauliche Beispiele helfen, hilfreiche Aspekte in den eigenen Alltag zu transportieren. Unterhaltsame Grafiken sowie Podcasts vermitteln Fakten und Befunde in knapper, aufgelockerter Form (Edutainment).
