Synopsis
In this groundbreaking analysis of personality type, bestselling author of Better Than Before and The Happiness Project, Gretchen Rubin reveals the one simple question that will transform what you do at home, at work, and in life.
During her multibook investigation into understanding human nature, Gretchen Rubin realized that by asking the seemingly dry question "How do I respond to expectations?" we gain explosive self-knowledge. She discovered that based on their answer, people fit into Four Tendencies: Upholders, Questioners, Obligers, and Rebels. Our Tendency shapes every aspect of our behavior, so using this framework allows us to make better decisions, meet deadlines, suffer less stress, and engage more effectively.
More than 600,000 people have taken her online quiz, and managers, doctors, teachers, spouses, and parents already use the framework to help people make significant, lasting change.
The Four Tendencies hold practical answers if you've ever thought...
· People can rely on me, but I can't rely on myself.
· How can I help someone to follow good advice?
· People say I ask too many questions.
· How do I work with someone who refuses to do what I ask or who keeps telling me what to do?
With sharp insight, compelling research, and hilarious examples, The Four Tendencies will help you get happier, healthier, more productive, and more creative. It's far easier to succeed when you know what works for you.

Paperback. Condition: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut Sg - leichte Beschädigungen oder Verschmutzungen, ungelesenes Mängelexemplar, gestempelt - NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Are you an Upholder, a Questioner, an Obliger, or a Rebel From theauthor of Better Than Before and The Happiness Project comes a groundbreaking analysis of personality type that will immediately improve every area of your life (Melissa Urban, co-founder of the Whole30). During her multibook investigation into human nature, Gretchen Rubin realized that by asking the seemingly dry question How do I respond to expectations we gain explosive self-knowledge. She discovered that based on their answer, people fit into Four Tendencies: Upholders meet outer and inner expectations readily. Discipline is my freedom. Questioners meet inner expectations, but meet outer expectations only if they make sense. If you convince me why, I ll comply. Obligers (the largest Tendency) meet outer expectations, but struggle to meet inner expectations therefore, they need outer accountability to meet inner expectations. You can count on me, and I m counting on you to count on me. Rebels (the smallest group) resist all expectations, outer and inner alike. They do what they choose to do, when they choose to do it, and typically they don t tell themselves what to do. You can t make me, and neither can I. Our Tendency shapes every aspect of our behavior, so using this framework allows us to make better decisions, meet deadlines, suffer less stress, and engage more effectively.It s far easier to succeed when you know what works for you. With sharp insight, compelling research, and hilarious examples, The Four Tendencies will help you get happier, healthier, more productive, and more creative. Seller Inventory # INF1000764389
