[Juanmi · Rating 2 out of 5]

Aburrido, pseudocientífico y lleno de faltas de ortografía en su edición en castellano. Promete ser una fuente reveladora en cuanto a autoconocimiento y el conocimiento de otros, pero no cumple ninguna de los dos. He sido incapaz de reconocer a nadie en ninguno de los tipos que define, y menos aún a mí mismo. Mezcla misticismo, mitología y endocrinología un poco al tuntún, sin terminar de cohesionar qué está diciendo.

Great book w/ a little known teaching that I've certainly found to be accurate and "quick" once you learn it... you can see someone and get a 'dead read' on some of their automatic behaviors and potentials based on this mostly unknown knowledge.

He gives some history and reference to other books. Thankful for this teaching as there's not much out there on it.

"Art of Reading People" by John Cremer is similar and more recent w/ many examples of the types.

Really wasn't too thrilled with this. Mainly about Western thought, left Ayurvedic concepts out - which were obviously threaded throughout.
