Summary

Can you actually change your personality, or are you stuck the way you are forever? In this episode, Jason and Emily talk through the surprising science behind personality change. For decades psychologists believed personality was mostly fixed by adulthood. But new research suggests that with intention, specific habits, and enough time, people can shift major traits like extroversion, conscientiousness, and emotional stability.
