How much of who you are is really you—and how much is habit, circumstance, or a story you started telling yourself a long time ago? This week, host Amanda Montell (<a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Famanda_montell%2F%3Fhl%3Den&data=05%7C02%7Cmichaela.derosa%40studio71us.com%7Cd8e99ff190074be7bbb908dda549baa6%7C42f71e00fe2746549915ab529795f091%7C0%7C0%7C638848458295831750%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Y7OpFJgcCbCYs4p8QLaHYO9VuA8O%2FygiCbhCyhxTJA0%3D&reserved=0">@amanda_montell</a>) is joined by journalist and author Olga Khazan (<a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Folganator%2F%3Fhl%3Den&data=05%7C02%7Cmichaela.derosa%40studio71us.com%7Cd8e99ff190074be7bbb908dda549baa6%7C42f71e00fe2746549915ab529795f091%7C0%7C0%7C638848458295845637%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=maT0prgicJLOrjmauNfrOYRgb6vU33ZUsENrWsDITR4%3D&reserved=0">@olganator</a>) to explore the strange, sticky concept of personality: where it comes from, why it feels so permanent, and whether we can actually change it. We touch on the appeal of personality frameworks like Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram, but zoom out to ask deeper questions: Do people ever really change, or do we just learn how to act differently?
