Brian Little

Dr. Brian Little is an internationally acclaimed scholar and speaker in the field of personality and motivational psychology. His pioneering research on how everyday personal projects and 'free traits' influence the course of our lives has become an important way of explaining and enhancing human flourishing.

Professor Little teaches at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Psychology and the Judge Business School. He is also a Distinguished Scholar and Director of the Social Ecology Research Group, and a fellow at the Well-being Institute and the Psychometrics Centre at Cambridge. Additionally, he holds the title of Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. Having taught at prestigious institutions including Oxford, Harvard, and McGill Universities, his courses, notably on personality at Harvard's Department of Psychology, were immensely popular, leading to his election as a favorite professor by Harvard's graduating classes for three consecutive years.

Little's book, "Me, Myself, and Us," published in October 2014 by PublicAffairs Books in the U.S. and HarperCollins in Canada, not only beautifully outlines his personality theories but also imparts potentially life-changing advice for readers, while it warns of the hidden costs of hiding your true personality. In his presentations, which are both deeply informative and entertaining, Little helps audiences understand the importance of respecting individual differences for organizational success, providing unique insights into workplace behavior.
