Summary: Outstanding Resource
Review: PERSONALITY PLUS is one of the most enlightening books that I have ever read. Florence Littauer shows how to determine what type of temperament you fall into: Popular Sanguine, Powerful Choleric, Perfect Melancholy, or Peaceful Phlegmatic. Understanding that, we are then shown the strengths and weaknesses that accompany each of them. Littauer then teaches, gently and humorously, how we can improve ourselves and our relationships by simply recognizing and accepting the temperaments (in ourselves and others). For once we understand that the other temperaments are different from us because that is simply how they are built, and not because they wish to annoy us or make things difficult, it changes the way we look at and deal with people. As I read this book it was like a lightbulb popped on in my head--difficult people in my life were suddenly seen in a new light and dark motives I had attributed to them disappeared. And our relationships improved.I highly recommend this book. It will help you in friendships, with family, with romance, and at work. I recommend it even more for those who are in positions of leadership. Understanding yourself and then understanding those around you will radically change your life interactions for the better. FIVE STARS.

Summary: has helped me tremendously to appreciate me and others
Review: Prior to this book, I wanted for people to change, and be like me. Now, I can appreciate their strengths, and their uniqueness. I could also understand their inherent weaknesses that enables me to communicate with them more effectively without hurting, or offending them. This book has helped me embrace my strengths, and while enhancing this, has given me a clear picture of my personality drawbacks that I'm endeavoring to work on, and minimize. Thanks so much for this. God has indeed made me wonderfully, and I appreciate that so much after this book.

Summary: A Must Read
Review: The idea of the four temperaments is one of the theories in human personality. Some people may reject the idea of being generalized for fear of losing their individual uniqueness. But the idea is to acknowledge the advantages of such generalization and at the same time to be aware of variations within the individual categories. And this book tremendously helps us to understand how we are different from others, and how we can understand the differences. Understanding is a bliss. It also provides some suggestions to appreciate our strengths, while also knowing our weaknesses and working on them. A must read for our peace of mind in general. And to save us unnecessary problems arising from personality conflicts.

Review: This book helped me see people from a different perspective. Proves that all people have something good in them and helps you spot it. Besides that, game me ideas on how to motivate/persuade people to do things according on their type of personality. REALLY GREAT!

Summary: Insightful, healing, but unbalanced.
Review: This book is a powerful tool in helping to both understand others, and get along with others better. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to have more than three friends. It explains how there are four basic "personality temperaments", and how each temperament interacts with the others. It also discusses the strengths and weaknesses of each temperament, and Florence makes suggestions to each temperament as to what he/she can (should) do about their weaknesses, and is very insightful in that sense. It is also quite healing, as one is forced to realize that the others aren't INTENDING to be abrasive, but seem to be simply because they have a different personality than you. However, this book is also very unbalanced. Although it feigns to be a Christian book, it fails miserably to clarify that some behaviors are simply wrong, no matter what personality type they are coming from. The less mature reader is led to believe that particular behaviors are strictly aspects of people's personalities. There is literally, and absolutely NO acknowledgement of the fact that right is right, and wrong is wrong! In that sense, this book is an absolute, total failure. Parents, in particular, should be aware that the writer will tempt the reader to think that wrong behavior is simply an aspect of a personality. In effect, as I have seen, an immature Christian reader can take the things in this book too much to heart, end up failing to distinguish right from wrong, and ultimately do their children more harm than good; that is, by passing everything off as simply "personality" and failing to teach right from wrong. I say this to caution the reader that yes, this is a very good book, but also very dangerous if the above caution is not noted during and after reading the book. Since this book fails on such an important issue, it only gets a 6.

Summary: opening your eyes
Review: This book is entertaining as well as enlightening! It helped me to understand my family and myself in a new way. I learned how to get along better with others --simply because I understand them. This book should be standard reading for anyone trying to better themselves.
