Rating: Summary: A New Discovery Review: East meets West in the book. There are always hundreds of new ways to look at oneself, and "Who are you?" provides one hundred more scientific, psychological and interesting methods.
Rating: Summary: Who Are You? : 101 Ways of Seeing Yourself Review: Excellent coffee table book or for leafing through yourself. Eveyone who visits my home raves about the book. Everyone can relate to some area of the book - you don't have to read it from cover to cover, you can simply find pages that interest you. It gives you numerous ways to look at yourself - all very interesting.
Rating: Summary: Fun and Inspiring Review: I have had this book for a while and I have enjoyed it immensely. You can pick it up anytime you feel the need to look inside yourself for a moment.
As noted in other reviews, there are a wide variety of tests that reach to all edges of the metaphysical globe.
You will have lots of opportunities to think about what the tests say about yourself. I also feel that you could use many of these tests as ice breakers or party games.
This is a very versatile book and for the cost you will get some of the best art work of any "psychological" testing!
Rating: Summary: Linda Review: I love this book.... AND I'm concerned that the information about the "Enneagram" MAY be somewhat inaccurate. I've read many books on the subject, and I'm in a study group with others who have been studying this tool for MANY years - we agree that we've never seen a portrayal of the subtypes like this (i.e. in most of the literature we know, 8's, 9's, and 1's are "sensing" types, not 1's, 2's and 3's like this book says..). Just something to think about.... otherwise, I think it's a great resource!
Rating: Summary: Not as good as the cover suggests Review: I was a bit disappointed with this book. So many different tests and ways of looking at yourself but nothing to sum it all up. This is a book that would be helped by having a score sheet included so that you don't have to write in the book.

Rating: Summary: Who Are You? : 101 Ways of Seeing Yourself Review: I'd like to say "0" stars, but I did find this book interesting and provocative. However, the author does not understand the Enneagram and has written erroneous information about it. I enjoyed the book until I hit this section. I immediately slammed the book and took it back. My logic is that if the Enneagram information is incorrect, how can I depend on any of the material?

Rating: Summary: "Who Are You" is a great tool in journey of self-discovery Review: I'm not sure there are words in existence that could describe what I thought as a turned through Malcolm Godwin's new exploration of self-discovery. This book was exactly what I was looking for, needed. And, let me tell you, I am so glad I found it.The strangest thing was that, during the time period when I stumbled on "Who Are You ..." I was going through a rough bout of depression. It seemed that the core of my problems was that I wasn't sure who I really was inside, what I wanted to pursue in the future. Being in my college years, this depression came at an extremely fragile time, as the college ages provide enough confusion and difficulty as it is. Anyhow, I went to visit my brother (who knew I was pretty down and out), and he told me I should check out this new book he had. Trusting in his literary taste (as always) I took the paperback from his hands, and began flipping through it. So much of what Godwin explains is true. I couldn't believe how much I agreed and related several of the 101 ways. This title is undoubtedly a stroke of genius, which everybody in the world should read. All human beings need to find themselves, and we all go through these stages of self-discovery. Godwin's new book may well be just the dictionary of self-discovery knowledge people need to succeed at the feat. I cannot say how much better I felt after completing "Who are you ...". Everybody should give it a try. Who knows, you might find a whole different personality in yourself.
Rating: Summary: YOU are you... Review: IF you feel a strong need for such answers as this book offers, you may be disappointed. This isn't due to the book's contents, it's due to your question. I'll be fair and say the book is well done, nicely illustrated and quite entertaining. Yes, I purchased and read this book. I was asking the same question at the time; Who Am I? The answer is another question; How close do you want to look? How many "selves" and "others" do you want to create out of your complete, whole being? More bits and pieces -You're just making a bigger puzzle. Be careful what you search for... The included meditations are the best alternatives to these questions. This book is best left for entertainment purposes -leave it at that.
