I have read this book and this critic loves it! For years I have wondered as to why people in the same environment, setting, city, and even family can come out so amazingly different. This book teaches its reader how to classify and analyze people so that you can find out their point of reference on life and understand what they value and treasure in life. If you know a person's needs you can more easily meet their needs and help them. This book gives solid, practical advise on how to recognize and appreciate a person's psychological/emotional/volitional makeup as well as how to cope with and appreciate the differences in us all. Do you want to know why your super-energetic life-of-the-party friend retains his outlook on life no matter what? Do you want to know why Mr.Domineering feels that he MUST be in charge in spite of all adversity? Do you want to know why some people seem to be so gifted and deep even in the most shallow pools of life? Do you want to know why some people are content to stay introverts all of their life and are happy that way? Well, you'll just have to get the book and enjoy finding out!

I already know this book right as a little young boy. I actually bought it for a friend who I recommended it to and he thanked me after reading it. I also have five others that want the book. So, for me, I love this book and will keep recommending it to people.

My expectations of this book were that of a fun, lighthearted read and some insight into 'what makes people tick' and Hey even see which type of person i and my family members fall into(Which Tim LaHaye has divided into Sanguine, Choleric,Melancholy and Phlegmatic).
However the book lacks any useful information and doesnt have even the slightest bit of psychology to back up these 'temperament types'. Which are held together by assumptions and streotypes.
Also the book is written from a very 'male' viewpoint which i found sexist and old fashioned,in which the female types usually get pigeonholed into descriptions such as 'The cheerleader type' and 'Enjoys shopping'. The chapter on sexual responses of types just confirmed to me that this is nothing but regurgitated 1950's streotypical views on relationships (that seems to ignore womens liberation) with a side order of religious references as oppose to any real psychology.
i am merely warning do not buy expecting any real psychology or insight into human behaviour.
