Product Description
Widely applauded for its balance of classic and contemporary theories of personality psychology, The Personality Puzzle returns in a Fourth Edition. Preserving the features that have set The Personality Puzzle<./I> apart—a sophisticated yet accessible approach, lively prose, and transparent analysis—the new edition has been meticulously updated in light of current studies, including evolutionary and cultural theory and behavioral genetics. Written by one of the most important scholars working in the discipline today, and priced significantly lower than its competitors, The Personality Puzzle remains the foremost text for courses in personality psychology.

A Truly Terrible Book

Really more of a psychological memoir than a textbook, Funder truly drops the ball on this subject. The book is unorganized and not up to date on many subjects, and the author rants on and on about too many subjects, many of which have little to do with psychology. Additionally, the non-academic, "let me talk about what I think" feel of Funder's writing truly does a disservice to any serious reader. A failure: do not buy or assign.

when I finally got it, it was good

Well, amazon screwed up my order 3 times... which was lame becuase I needed this book for a college class. I got it promptly when I ordered it from the book depository.
