The 100 billion cells that make up the brain communicate electrically over 1,000 trillion neural connections at up to 250 miles per hour—and from this sparking of electrical power grows the personality and its behavior. This program explores how personalities are shaped during childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, exposing how traits such as extroversion and introversion develop. Additional topics range from how parents affect children’s personalities, to why teens are so emotionally sensitive, to what lies at the heart of mood swings. The story of an overall amiable man trying to curb a severe anger problem is featured. Original BBCW broadcast title: Personality. (60 minutes)
