How to Build Fake Personality (Paperback)

Paperback. Most people are not who they appear to be. Not because they are dishonest, but because they learned, early and repeatedly, that certain parts of themselves were unwelcome.This book examines how the false self is built: the psychological mechanisms behind approval-seeking, the multiple personas people maintain across work, family, and social life, and the childhood wounds and attachment patterns that make performance feel necessary rather than optional.Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and attachment research, this book moves through the full architecture of the performed identity and into the practical work of dismantling it.Readers will come away with a clear understanding of why they perform, who they perform for, and what becomes possible when the performance gradually stops.This is not a book about becoming someone different. It is a book about returning to who you already are. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
