Personality basins are a fascinating way to understand human behavior within their environment. This mental model explains why people are the way they are, how they change over time, and how mental illnesses and addiction function. Most of our subconscious personality changes happen outside of our awareness, based on positive or negative interactions with our environment. Adapting to different environments can result in different optimal versions of ourselves. Your conscious experience of stimuli is influenced by your personality and environment, leading to unique perspectives and preferences. Personality basins play a role in understanding mental illnesses and addiction, highlighting the importance of small, continual positive changes to escape undesirable personality basins.
