Summary: An Accurate Mirror and a Makeover Kit, Period!
Review: Appropriately named, the author's interpretations of the problems of human nature boils down to the vary basics of our own personality - the facade we create for ourselves. More often than not we tend to paint an inaccurate picture of ourselves far removed from reality and that is the real stumbling factor in our way to be better humans. The more we understand the accurate pattern we all project to others and to ourselves, we better we will be in realizing the "excess baggage", the emotional load we throw at others. I was pleasantly surprised at the way this book analyzes and portrays the human behavioural patterns. It has three simple steps to make you feel more worthy of living - identify the pattern you are protraying for yourself, identify the real you and make corrections to make them together. The author must have gone through rigorous research and observations before writing this book and made our tasks simpler to look at a mirror, of our own reflections. I initially got the book from the library but decided to own it for my own reference, and for others.

Summary: A must have!
Review: I have read many self help books, but none so thorough and dead-on as this one! Most self help books may only offer one or two major insights, but there was one on almost every page in this book. It is a quick read with little psychology lingo to stumble over, but you will be amazed st how much of yourself you see in this book. I felt like it was written just for me, and yet I was also able to recognize the personality types of my parents, spouse, child, mother in law, etc. and it filled in the blanks on many, many things about their behavior. I literally found myself taking notes from this book, there was so much great info that I didn't want to forget any! I checked this out from the library, but I will be buying it soon. If there was one thing I wish the author would have added, it would be a few pages on how others might (constructively) deal w/each personality type, but that is a very minor comment because the book is so great overall. I will read anything else this author publishes, her observations are so astute!

Summary: Brilliant...
Review: I was not expecting to find such an accurate description of myself in this book, but as I read on I did and I was amazed at how Stills hit the mark dead on. I pondered her assessment of my behavior and her suggestions on fixing things for days. I've also used the book to help understand other people. Self-help books are meant to bring about a stronger sense of self-awareness and if you're reading this and need a tool to help you start finding out who you are, READ THIS BOOK.

Summary: Find the real you and why you are that way
Review: The BEST self help book I have ever read. It not only tells you, who you are, but why you are that way. Great for those who think they have to be in total control,because no matter how much you want control, you can't have total control, and have a productive life

Summary: The Best Work on the Self-Help Shelf
Review: This is the most useful book I have ever owned. Where other self-help classics catch a piece of the internal puzzle, Sills somehow sees the greater picture. Most importantly, Sills understands that basic human truth-- that what we are is sometimes our greatest blessing and sometimes our greatest curse. The book offers understanding and practical advice for finding balance, rather than offering abstract notions for "fixing" some personality flaw. Buy this book and Scott Peck's The Road Not Taken, and you won't need any other self-help book in the store

Summary: And The Truth Shall Set You Free...
Review: Well, if you are able to be objective, it can. She really hit the nail on the head with with one. I was BLOWN away. I couldn't believe how right she was. I borrowed the book from the Library, to check it out. I had to buy it. It is one of the most eye-opening self help books ever. To realize that you really are 'text-book' is shocking. My best friend agreed with most of what was said about my type, something she has always known, but never told me. It's okay, I probably wouldn't have taken it well anyway, if she did. It's better coming from a third, completely impartial party. YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK!!!!
