Summary: Great Info--no help at all...
Review: I found that this book was great for identifying personality types, but useless after that point. Ms. Littauer several times in the book gives comprehensive advice like "Accentuate the Positives. Eliminate the Negatives" and "Not Everything in Life can be Perfect, so relax." I mean, we're not children here, such basic "advice" is just useless. How does one "accentuate the positive?" Obviously Ms. Littauer has no idea. Her Biblical references are irritating and add nothing to the book but italics. Find a different personality typing book if you want something useful to read.

Summary: LOVED IT
Review: I have 5 children and the information is invaluable in dealing with each and every one of their temperaments. Not to mention how it's helped my husband and I relate to and understand each other. A must read!

Summary: Excellent, Insightful, Healing!
Review: I have read this book many times, and give it as a gift of love to others. You will find it fun and easy to read -- but nearly impossible to put down. Understanding why people behave as they do makes human interactions sooo much smoother. I have been interested in human behavior for 30 years, even choosing sociology as a field of study in college, so when I praise this book you can be sure I rate it highly. Best wishes and Good reading! Donna Lan

Summary: Humor and an education all in one.
Review: I laughed at her stories and I learned a lot about myself and the people around me. This book has revolutionized my relationships for the better! I highly recommend it- especially if you'd like to know why other people act the crazy way they do- this book explains a lot.

Summary: Surprisingly accurate and refreshingly funny!!
Review: I love this book!! It is easy to read because the author interjects bits of human relationship stories to illustrate her points, making you feel like you know her and her family by the time you finish each chapter. The personality profile/test is easy to take, especially because she provides definitions of each term as they relate to each category. I couldn't believe how accurate and right-on the descriptions of each of the four temperaments proved to be! I know this book will help me in my personal relationships and my work. Seeing myself through Florence Littauer's eyes is very revealing, and very inexpensive therapy. I am so glad I took the challenge from my Mary Kay director and bought this book.

Summary: you must read this
Review: I read this book over 5 years ago after discovering the 4 personality traits and analysing them in a Steiner school context. Everything else I had come across regarding this was dark and heavy. Florence Littauer brings light, balance and laughter to this, previously regarded, heavy subject. I could identify myself and those around me with ease and many smiles! The only down side for me as a non Christian are the bible references. Not that it is 'preached' all the way through by any means. Therefore I would like to recommend this as a must read for everyone.....please, please, please don't be put off (as I would have been) by the reviews given from a Christian context, it is a great, and very enlightening read for all....even us heathens!

Summary: This book has improved my relationships with people
Review: I read this book, did the personality test and have never laughed so much in all my life. All these years I have often wondered what it was about me that put people off me! and why some people annoyed me and others(not many) I got on with like a house on fire. I am fascinated that people can be catergorised in such a way and it is all so true.

Summary: Read it
Review: I really liked this book as it gave me a way to understand my partner, friends and family in a new light - and you will start to put the people you know in to boxes after this. Not that its a bad thing at all, it makes you more tolerant I think.

I didn't like the religious quotes and content as not everybody believes in the bible or thinks there is a god, but hey, it's her book.

Buy it, pass it on to your friends and you'll have some great conversations with them about it all.

Summary: Personality Plus
Review: I recommend this book to anyone who deals with people. In other words, everyone should read this book. I have learned so much about myself and others. This book has taught me about why people act and think the way they do. I'm only 16 and I found this book to be incredibly helpful. I think your really missing something special if you don't read it.
