This review is from: The Science of Personality (Paperback)
I enjoyed reading Pervin's book on Personality. Pervin has a new way of teaching the personality psychology. The text is comprehensible, using scientific language only when it is relevant. The important concepts are explained in a way that anyone can understand. The book is not only readable to anyone, it should also interest anyone. Content of this book can be applied in every day life, while it gives a wide and contemporary perspective of personality science to a student.
