Rating:  Summary: Seeing people with "new" eyes. Review: I spend a lot of time with people. This book has changed the way I look at myself and really helped me change the way I look at people. Learned to accept and appreciate people for what they are. "Understanding" (others and yourself) is the key word here. I am very glad I read this book. Thanks Florence. :) I can also suggest another book along these lines : "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" by John Gray. Great book for couples!
Rating:  Summary: Awesome! Review: If you are a leader in the lives of people around you, this is a great book to read! This book helps you understand people's strengths & weaknesses. It helps you to understand people's motivations. Accompanied by Littauer's colorful stories and never ending drama's, this book is sure to keep you entertained!
Rating:  Summary: Powerful yet simple relationship and self-improvement advice Review: It is not easy to accept psychological advice that appears so simple (especially as a Perfect Melancholy as I am). Yet Florence has taken concepts that in reality are probably much more complex and reduced them to a usable format. This book will make you laugh - mark my words you will believe Florence spent weeks observing you. I'm not convinced that our personality traits are innate (rather than a product of our environment) as Florence argues, but regardless of this, the advice is no less powerful. I made my girlfriend read the book, have passed it on to my brother and his wife and wish I could pass it on to all those I care for. This book is only for those people who will find themselves in relationships or have to interact with people at some time in their lives.
Rating:  Summary: Laugh at yourself and understand yourself at the same time. Review: Laughing at yourself is really healthy. No, I really mean it. We need to stop taking ourselves so seriously because if the truth be told, no one else does! I understand myself much better. I have always thought of myself as self confident bordering on arrogance some times, however this book brought an effective balance in my life. Florence's teaching had this "Perfect Melancholy" laughing out loud. My husband said to me several times "nothing can be that funny". He was wrong and even though I'm now on my second thorough reading, I'm still laughing even though I know what it says. I promise you that you will experience positive change if you apply the knowledge and if you are "really" honest with yourself. It saved my relationship with my 18 year old daughter and have positively impacted the friendships that I have. Most of all, it enhanced an already beautiful relationship with my husband. We are very different as Florence's book helps us to determine and we love every minute of it! This book has so impacted my life that now I am certified to teach the materials and I have seen dramatic changes in both the religious and secular arena. I've taken other "personality" instruments and nothing has "put the finger on that missing piece" as did Personality Plus! I also enjoyed reading this book especially because I didn't need a dictionary to look up words that I didn't know as I read and didn't have to wade thorough "stuffy or aristocratic" language. You must read this book!
Rating:  Summary: Great for relationships Review: My mother turned me on to this book. She had me pegged as a totally different personality. As she read to me the definition of a Perfect Meloncholy, it was a lot easier for her to understand where I was coming from on many issues. A must read for trying to understand those around you. An eye-opener for why some relationships work well, and some just work!
Rating:  Summary: A must for a better life! Review: One essential of good communication is understanding the four basic personality types. And this book is the best way I've come across to learn about the subject. It is well written with humour and in-depth information. An absolute must for everybody and especially those who have problem relating to others - and for moms and dads to communicate with children with different personalities.

Rating:  Summary: Perfectly praiseworthy Review: One wouldn't expect a book on personalities to be as engaging, funny, and entertaining as Personality Plus. (Since it was written by a Popular Sanguine, I guess I shouldn't be surprised). I had a tremendous amount of fun reading this, taking the tests, analyzing my friends and family, and seeing how the Lord has made us perfect in His sight. The most invaluable information I gleaned from the text was why my son and I clash so often- we're both melancholies, and I see aspects of my personality that I struggle with in him. I now have the tools to work on my weaknesses, and my relationships with others. Thank you, Ms. Littauer, for such an insightful book!
