Great book! submitted by valerieshin on August 27, 2020, 10:24am Great book to help you look at yourself and others in a new way. Plenty of good examples and good stories. Writing is clear and easy to understand, chapters are organized first by the tendency, then go into subsections on things like how to deal with a boss, friend, or partner with specific tendencies as well as yourself. Really helpful info!
