Summary: Everything you need to know
Review: I really enjoyed this book. Not only was it witty, but intelligent and well-founded. The stability of my relationships with all the men around me is due in part to the understanding I gained from reading this insightful book. My favorite nonfiction work today, Tim LaHaye's well-researched, objective and enlightening look into the heart of man changed my perspective and made me laugh at the same time.

Summary: Improved Interpersonal Relationships
Review: The goal of this book is to enhance communication between people. Differences in communication styles and assumptions between genders is discussed throughout the book. Four categories of personality are presented; sanguine, choleric, melancholy, and phlegmatic. Combinations of these four major groups are also included. A section is devoted to introverts and extroverts. Additional topics under the four basic temperaments include: character, productivity, courage, emotions, sexuality, and mind. These subcategories are placed under the major four and explained as they relate to each one.

Summary: One of Tim laHaye's better books
Review: This is one of Tim LaHaye's better non-fiction efforts... as a professional in the field of personality (which Tim calls temperament) there are many better books available, but it is not bad.

Most of the info on personality factors is non-gender-specific, although the illustrations and applications used all relate to men, so remember that if you're looking for information on personality in general. It is quite accessible and understandable, and it would be good to see companion books about women's and kids' personalities - particularly kids, because understanding the personality of your children is an exceptional parenting tool. However, I think Tim is too busy churning out apocalyptic novels to worry about these at the moment!
