The four tendencies

Book • 2017
Gretchen Rubin's "The Four Tendencies" introduces a personality framework categorizing individuals into four tendencies: Upholders, Questioners, Obligers, and Rebels.

Understanding these tendencies helps explain how people respond to inner and outer expectations, impacting their decision-making, habit formation, and relationships.

The book provides self-assessment tools and practical advice for leveraging each tendency's strengths and navigating its challenges.

It offers insights into personal productivity, communication, and conflict resolution.

Ultimately, it promotes self-awareness and improved relationships.
