Personality and Personal Growth, 7th edition | Robert D. Frager, James Fadiman

Personality and Personal Growth (7th Edition) explores the major theories of personality while encouraging readers to use these insights for their own personal development. Robert D. Frager and James Fadiman present perspectives from leading psychologists—including Freud, Jung, Rogers, Maslow, and others—alongside contemporary research, showing how each approach contributes to understanding human behavior, motivation, and self-actualization.

Unlike traditional textbooks that focus solely on theory, this book emphasizes personal application. Through case studies, exercises, and reflective questions, it invites readers to connect psychological concepts to their own lives, relationships, and goals. Blending Western psychology with Eastern philosophies, it offers a holistic view of personality, growth, and transformation.

Ideal for students and general readers, this edition provides both an academic foundation in personality theory and a practical guide for self-awareness, balance, and lifelong growth.
