Insight

This book has given me an insight into interpersonal communication that has been of extroadinary value to me. The methods they describe are not complex, and very useable even after a first read. The eye-opening effect the book has had on me is even more valuable to me than the specific method that it provides for tuning the communication.

explains how to fit communication style to personality type

This information-rich book describes a model to communicate with others based on their personality type. While the book is focused on improving intimate relationships, it is equally valuable for business or social communication. It contains many helpful tables, but the text sometimes seems disjointed or oddly organized. However, the content is unique and valuable. Unlike many self-help books, this one is packed with ideas and techniques that will benefit most anyone. It is on of the two or three best self-help books I have read.

Great Book

I am finishing reading this book and it has helped me to see my personality type (DRIVER) and how differently people react to similar situations because of their personalities. I recommend this book to anyone who can't seem to get through to your boss or to other people you work for or with. This book has helped me understand some signs people display when they lie, when they are depressed or angry. It is well written and documented. You won't regret the purchase of this book. Did I get through to you?

A study of human behavior

This book is a very good study in human nature, I think that the material can be used in many different areas of your life besides spousal relationships. I have attended seminars presented by the author (D.Glenn Foster) and have found that his technique is effective. If you always wondered why your other half acts the way he/she does this is a excellent book to read.
