“The Four Tendencies will immediately improve every area of your
life—and I say this from personal experience. If you’ve been
feeling stuck in your relationships, career, health, or
self-confidence, understanding your Tendency and how to make it
work for you is the game-changer you’ve been looking for.”
—Melissa Hartwig (Upholder), author and cocreator of The
Whole30
"The path to happiness starts with your personality. In The Four
Tendencies, Gretchen Rubin upends the conventional wisdom of one
prescription fitting all people and offers readers a tailored path
to better health, relationships and well-being. A remarkable read
from one of the most practical storytellers on the planet."
—Tom Rath (Questioner), author of Are You Fully Charged? and
StrengthsFinder 2.0
“This Rebel can’t help but agree with the crowd: you need to read
The Four Tendencies! The online quiz is mega-popular for good
reason, but the book will give you unexpected, lasting insights.
You'll learn to make better decisions based on what works best for
your specific personality profile—not what anyone else expects or
demands.”
—Chris Guillebeau (Rebel), author of Side Hustle and host of the
podcast Side Hustle School
“The Four Tendencies is a remarkably well-crafted and insightful

relationships with the people in our lives.”

knowledge. Insightful, practical and crucial, The Four
Tendencies will help you overcome the biggest impediments to
your happiness and success.”
—Shawn Achor (Upholder), author of The Happiness Advantage and

“Gretchen Rubin has discovered a new framework for understanding
ourselves and other people. When we know our Tendency, we can
manage ourselves more effectively and reach our goals faster—and we
can help others to do that, as well. As a researcher who has
studied habits, addiction, and change for 20 years, I’m excited by
the simplicity and power of The Four Tendencies as a tool
for anyone seeking to make his or her life better. I am
implementing this in my clinical programs to help people
understand their Tendencies so they can change behaviors such as
stress and emotional eating.”
—Judson Brewer, MD, PhD (Questioner), author of The Craving Mind
and associate professor in medicine and psychiatry at the
University of Massachusetts Medical School

create the life we want, in a way that’s right for
us. The surprising thing? Once you know about these four
types, you see them everywhere.”
—Susan David, PhD, (Upholder), cofounder of the Institute of
Coaching and author of Emotional Agility
