Ever wonder why you are you? Why you connect with some people but not all people? Ever want to get inside the head of your spouse, kids, friends, co-workers to better understand who they are?
"Reading People" by Anne Bogel (Baker Books) is one of the best books I've read this year. Bogel is a gifted and engaging writer and her transparency and honesty is refreshing. She writes of her struggles to understand her own personality and that of her family. What she learned can help us all.
This could have been a highly technical book but Bogel takes complicated systems and methods and breaks them down so that a layman can understand them. She breaks down some of the myths regarding introverts and extroverts. She whets your appetite to know more about tools like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, The Clifton StrengthsFinder, and something I'd not heard of before, The Enneagram. She shows how using the Five Love Languages can really help to build healthy, loving relationships and breaks down what it means to have and understand the highly sensitive person living in your home.
If you have ever wanted to know... your personality type, determine if you can change certain aspects of your personality, live a happier and more fulfilling life with those you love (and maybe with those that you don't like so much), "Reading People" by Anne Bogel should be a definite addition to your "must read" list!
