Improved Interpersonal Relationships

The goal of this book is to enhance communication between people. Differences in communication styles and assumptions between genders is discussed throughout the book. Four categories of personality are presented; sanguine, choleric, melancholy, and phlegmatic. Combinations of these four major groups are also included. A section is devoted to introverts and extroverts. Additional topics under the four basic temperaments include: character, productivity, courage, emotions, sexuality, and mind. These subcategories are placed under the major four and explained as they relate to each one.

Dr. Lahaye, the unsung miracle man of "modern" psychology

This book made me throw all my past ideas of psychology aside. It changed my life! While simple to read, this book is both the unified field theory and the rosetta stone of the human personality. Totally amazed, I followed Dr. Lahaye's simple wheel chart and went right to a categorized temperament type. Bulls eye! Using a daringly bold style my temperament category was told of it's greatest weakness. Exposed, I saw myself as silly and not strong. I now block that characteristic out of my interpersonal relationships with men, and especially women. Like a similar best selling author, Dr. Laura, Dr. Lahaye writes with scriptural emphasis probably gleaned from his Christian college President and professional family counseling years.
