Extrovert, Introvert, Neurotic Or Agreeable; Can You Change Your Personality? Uncut with Olga Khazan

Have you ever wondered “If I wanted to change my personality, would I be able to?” Or have you ever wondered if it was possible for someone else to truly change their personality?
This was a question that today’s guest wondered about herself and so she went on a journey to find out whether it was really possible to change your entire personality!

Joining the podcast today is Olga Khazan. Olga is a writer for The Atlantic, and the author of the new book Me, But Better: The Science and Promise of Personality Change. Olga spent a year experimenting with her own personality to see if she could become more extroverted, a lot less neurotic, and a little more agreeable.

We speak about:

  • Exactly why you might like to change your personality
  • How much of our personality is ‘hard wired’
  • The ‘big 5’ personality traits: extroversion, neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness.
  • How different aspects of our personality affects our relationships
  • Making friends when you’re not particularly extroverted
  • Can you change someone else’s personality?
  • Do certain life stages encourage a personality change?
  • What things can you do to change your personality?
