NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ⢠Are you an Upholder, a Questioner, an Obliger, or a Rebel? From the author of Better Than Before and The Happiness Project comes a groundbreaking analysis of personality type that âwill immediately improve every area of your lifeâ (Melissa Urban, co-founder of the Whole30).
Â
During her multibook investigation into human nature, Gretchen Rubin realized that by asking the seemingly dry question âHow do I respond to expectations?â we gain explosive self-knowledge. She discovered that based on their answer, people fit into Four Tendencies:
Â
⢠Upholders meet outer and inner expectations readily. âDiscipline is my freedom.â
⢠Questioners meet inner expectations, but meet outer expectations only if they make sense. âIf you convince me why, Iâll comply.â
⢠Obligers (the largest Tendency) meet outer expectations, but struggle to meet inner expectationsâtherefore, they need outer accountability to meet inner expectations. âYou can count on me, and Iâm counting on you to count on me.â
⢠Rebels (the smallest group) resist all expectations, outer and inner alike. They do what they choose to do, when they choose to do it, and typically they donât tell themselves what to do. âYou canât make me, and neither can I.â
Â
Our Tendency shapes every aspect of our behavior, so using this framework allows us to make better decisions, meet deadlines, suffer less stress, and engage more effectively. Itâs far easier to succeed when you know what works for you.
