Summary: Simple, Helpful and Wonderful! Much-needed resource.
Comment: After getting a little insight into the theory of the different personalities (Choleric, Sanguine, Melancholy and Phlegmatic) I picked up this book on the recommendation of a friend who had read it and also heard Mrs. Littauer on audiotape.
After taking the quiz inside the book, I found that I am nearly all Powerful Choleric, with some Popular Sanguine and Perfect Melancholy thrown in for good measure. I was somewhat aghast to find that there is no Peaceful Phlegmatic in my personality (a fact that doesn't surprise anyone who truly knows me!).
Florence's book is entertaining, an easy read, and very valuable in it's insight. You won't find 'pigeon holes' in this book, for we are all a combination of multiple types of personalities (as I explained about myself above) but you'll definately gain a better understanding of your strengths and even some of your areas of challenge after reading this book.
I liked the flow of the book and the detailed descriptions of each personality type. As I read through the book, I could see parts of people I worked with and have known throughout the years, and it's definately helped my personal interactions with them.
Beware, you'll find yourself identifying parts of people's personalities on a constant basis once you read this book, but it's really fun once you get the hang of it. If you are a people person (or even if you are not) this book will become a much-used resource in your library.
When working with my image consulting clients, I often recommend they pick up a copy of this book and read it from cover to cover as part of developing their self-image and indeed, discovering more about their true selves. People often deny parts of their personalities, believing there is something 'wrong' or less than desirable about a particular strength that they have.
Florence's wonderful book will encourage all who read it to accept their individuality, while understanding more about what makes us the special and terrific creatures that we are.

Summary: Powerful yet simple relationship and self-improvement advice
Comment: It is not easy to accept psychological advice that appears so simple (especially as a Perfect Melancholy as I am). Yet Florence has taken concepts that in reality are probably much more complex and reduced them to a usable format. This book will make you laugh - mark my words you will believe Florence spent weeks observing you. I'm not convinced that our personality traits are innate (rather than a product of our environment) as Florence argues, but regardless of this, the advice is no less powerful. I made my girlfriend read the book, have passed it on to my brother and his wife and wish I could pass it on to all those I care for. This book is only for those people who will find themselves in relationships or have to interact with people at some time in their lives.

Summary: you must read this
Comment: I read this book over 5 years ago after discovering the 4 personality traits and analysing them in a Steiner school context. Everything else I had come across regarding this was dark and heavy. Florence Littauer brings light, balance and laughter to this, previously regarded, heavy subject. I could identify myself and those around me with ease and many smiles! The only down side for me as a non Christian are the bible references. Not that it is 'preached' all the way through by any means. Therefore I would like to recommend this as a must read for everyone.....please, please, please don't be put off (as I would have been) by the reviews given from a Christian context, it is a great, and very enlightening read for all....even us heathens!
