Olga Khazan

Olga Khazan is a staff writer for The Atlantic and the author of the book 'Me, But Better,' where she documents her year-long journey to change her personality. Recognizing her less agreeable traits as potentially detrimental to her new role as a parent, Khazan explores the science of personality and the possibility of change through various methods, including social engagement and mindset shifts. Her work highlights that while personality traits can be deeply ingrained, they are not entirely fixed, and with conscious effort, individuals can cultivate new behaviors that enhance their social interactions and overall happiness.
