Drawing on extensive research, renowned psychiatrist and neuroscientist Samuel Barondes gives you powerful tools for understanding what people are really like and how they got that way.
Now improved with easy, step-by-step “practical summaries,” these tools will help you quickly assess anyone’s tendencies, patterns, character, and sense of identity. You’ll learn how to combine these into a unified picture of who that person is. With these insights, you can choose more satisfying relationships, recognise telltale signs of dysfunction and danger, and savour the complexity and uniqueness of everyone you meet.
A quick, easy system for understanding anyone!
Supplement your intuition
Identify character strengths and weaknesses
Make better decisions about whom to seek out and whom to avoid
Find out how all personalities are shaped by two great chance events: the set of genes we happen to be born with, and the world we happen to grow up in
