Seven powerful spiritual addresses. A remarkable little book in its intimate and impressive presentation of vital truth in regard to the development of Christian experience. "The author is well known to thoughtful readers by his 'quiet talks' on power, and prayer, and service. he has the gift of discernment in spiritual things and writes out of a rich experience of religious truth." -The Standard "The power here treated of is the power of personality inspired through close personal sympathy with Jesus; it is power for full and strong Christian living with effective influence. Mr. Gordon takes the English Bible in its face meaning to the ordinary reader, and speaks in a simple but searching and stimulating way." -New Outlook "Full of earnest, but not sensational, teaching about the power of God manifest in and working through men." -The Congregationalist "This is a remarkable book." -Life of Faith, London "Spiritual manna. No one can read it without profit." -The Standard "I have no hesitation in saying that I believe this book contains the most helpful discussions of power from on high that I know anything about." -J. Wilbur Chapman "There is real religion in this book. It takes the old firm truth of the gospel and states it in our own speech with tact and tenderness, but with fearlessness and fidelity. Christians cannot read it without a quickening of the conscience and surely no unatrophied soul can go through its strong pages unmoved. There is quiet, straight-forward thinking on the practical issues of religion, and there is warm and sincere appeal to the heart. It is a good book." -Record of Christian Work "Touches the secret springs of spiritual life, and is invaluable for all who are seeking to win men for Christ." -The Christian "An evangelistic book, free of the faults often to be discovered in works of this variety, and replete with serious suggestion inducing to a higher spiritual life." -Woman's Missionary Friend CONTENTS CHOKED CHANNELS THE OLIVET MESSAGE THE CHANNEL OF POWER THE PRICE OF POWER THE PERSONALITY OF POWER MAKING AND BREAKING CONNECTIONS THE FLOOD-TIDE OF POWER FRESH SUPPLIES OF POWER

This fun, smart read for anyone eager to better understand (and improve) themselves argues that personality is driven not by nature nor nurture—but instead by the projects we pursue, which ultimately shape the people we become. Traditionally, scientists have emphasized what they call the first and second natures of personality—genes and culture, respectively. But today the field of personality science has moved well beyond the nature vs. nurture debate. In Who Are You, Really? Dr. Brian Little presents a distinctive view of how personality shapes our lives—and why this matters. Little makes the case for a third nature to the human condition—the pursuit of personal projects, idealistic dreams, and creative ventures that shape both people’s lives and their personalities. Little uncovers what personality science has been discovering about the role of personal projects, revealing how this new concept can help people better understand themselves and shape their lives. In this important work, Little argues that it is essential to devote energy and resources to creative endeavors in a highly focused fashion, even if it takes away from other components of our well-being. This does not mean that we cannot shift from one core project to another in the days of our lives. In fact, it is precisely that ability to flexibly craft projects that is the greatest source of sustainability. Like learning to walk, forcing ourselves out of balance as we step is the only way in which we can move forward. And it is the only way that human flourishing can be enhanced. The well-lived life is based on the sustainable pursuit of core projects in our lives. Ultimately, Who Are You, Really? provides a deeply personal itinerary for exploring our personalities, our lives, and the human condition.
