Summary: "In this volume, Seymour Epstein presents a new theory of personality, cognitive-experiential theory (CET). CET is integrative of all other major personality theories. The system that accomplishes this is referred to as the experiential system, as it is an empirical system that adapts by automatically learning from experience. Humans, of course, also uniquely operate with a conscious, reasoning system, referred to in CET as a rational system. This book demonstrates how these two systems operate in parallel and influence each other. Yet, neither system is generally superior to the other, and the book discusses how each system is superior in uniquely important ways"
