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.

If ever you must read one book, pick your choice between this one or others written by Florence Littauer.
While Personality Plus is more "textbook", this one is more "popular" reading with stories of people. Your life will significantly change and be 100% happier if you: read, think and act accordingly.
In my line of work, I met hundreds of new people every month, thus, I need a way to suffice all these different people. Some are extremely talkative, some are totally mysterious, some are very laid back and others are just plain dictator. Actually, I already wrote four hints in my last sentence.
Personalities differ from one person to another. Once you understand the key of it, there is actually nothing to it! Conflicts within families, aggression to other people, etc. can be minimize, well, it depends on the reader him/herself to apply knowledge obtained from this writer.
I recommend this book to at least 20 other people already. You muts read this book for it will make your life more understandable and lead to a happier future.

This is one of the most helpful books if you want to understand and get along with other people - and anyone can read it. It is hilarious in places and you will see yourself on many pages doing things that come naturally but annoy others. It made me appreciate why my relationship with my brother has always been difficult - I just need to find a way for him to read the book! Perhaps then he will understand that our personality traits move us to act in certain ways and may cause unintentional offence. Armed with this knowledge, we might make a few more allowances for each other. I reckon every teenager needs to read this book - it should be on schools curricula - and maybe we will all get along a little better with each other. A super book. |

As an abuse survivor I have spent most of my life struggling with my lack of self-esteem. My desire to be a control freak. My desire to be a perfectionist, while at the same time dealing with bouts of depression. This book helped me realize that I'm not mental. I'm merely 1 of 4 basic personalities! I know now that I was a Sanguin turned into a Melencholy. As a Christian I also cherish the fact that much of the author's statements are backed by scripture. Instead of suggesting pills, as many psychiatrists, have suggested, she merely gave me a blueprint of my personality and helped me understand it. This book CAN change/save your life! |

I recommend this book to anyone who deals with people. In other words, everyone should read this book. I have learned so much about myself and others. This book has taught me about why people act and think the way they do. I'm only 16 and I found this book to be incredibly helpful. I think your really missing something special if you don't read it. |
