"The Foundations of Personality" by Abraham Myerson is a book from the early 1900s that investigates the role of our bodies and surroundings in building who we are. Myerson, a brain doctor, looks at how our biology affects our personality, with a strong focus on the brain, hormones, and how society helps shape us. He rejects old, unscientific ways of judging character and argues it is key to understand our personality by looking at science and real-world experiences. The goal is to move beyond abstract ideas and study personality by looking at facts.
