With more than 28 years of experience as an internationally renowned medical intuitive, Carol's expertise is in helping people understand how personality, emotional, psychological and spiritual energy can lie at the root cause of illness, disease, and life crises. As the result of a near-death experience in 1981, she is literally able to see the human energy system, the aura, to identify energy congestion, protrusions, depletions and blockages that are affecting the body's ability to function properly and sustain good health. Using this skill she is able to offer a comprehensive picture of why we become ill and offer insight into what is needed to heal.

Carol holds a doctorate in Theology and a doctorate in Esoteric Philosophy and Hermetic Science. Drawing on her education in personality typology, psychoneuroimmunology, spirituality, metaphysics and esoteric healing, Carol weaves these perspectives together with biology, physiology, psychology, and psychospirituality.

Armed with this knowledge, a person is able to participate more effectively in their own healing and in helping other people heal themselves.

Remember those quizzes you'd take in Seventeen as a teenager? This book is just an amped up fun tool like that. I enjoyed the descriptions of the personalities & background information on where theories on color tied to personality came from. I took the test but came out even on all the colors school they says then makes you green...which I am not green at all. light thing to read/do at the beach? Sure. Not worthy of spending money onto pick up at the library for fun.

Very Insightful.

[Pam · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book provides a good outline of the author's theory of how personality type can influence health. There is an introduction to each of the colour personalities, and a simple quiz to help the reader determine which colour personality best matches them. Things get really interesting then when the chapters turn to how a person's type can make them more susceptible to certain weaknesses and health issues. That is where you are left hanging though. Some interesting things to think about but no real direction from there, if a person is wanting to explore actions they could take. The main reason I did not rate this book as a 5, is more due to the chaotic look of the book. Every page is a different colour, paragraphs change shape/arrangement, the font changes, and there are too many distracting doodles, squiggles, clip arts, etc... throughout. As a doodler and colour enthusiast, it takes a lot for me to say "too much".

Carol Ritberger was a pioneer on just how much color can influence spiritual, mental emotional and physical aspects of our lives. In this book, she divides 4 colors that are mentioned...red, orange, yellow and green...that represent the four personality types and gives clues to find out what "color" your personality is and how you can be healed.

Her bio states having a near-death experience in 1981 allows her to see how colors affect each of us as to the root cause of illnesses and life crisis. She has furthered that experience with knowledge in such fields as Theology, Esoteric Philosophy and Hermetic Science. The result of all of these experiences is that she teaches how people can heal themselves.

An interesting overview of the differences in personality type, traits and characteristics.
A beautiful, compact gift version, suitable for a chairside table top, conversation starter.
Included is a simplistic quiz that sends the reader in the right direction, giving a taste for further exploration. Very nice.

I did a reading with Carol, the author, this holiday season so it was very interesting to follow that up with this book. It’s a quick read but packed with lots of information that I found to be very eye-opening as well as useful. More people could benefit from learning about the “color of their personality” especially as it relates to their health and pre-disposition to illnesses.

Admittedly took most of her theories straight from Carl Jung so this is another MBTI-LITE personality assessment.

She did nail the physical ailments based on personality however. Other than that, not as in depth or complex as MBTI.

i would’ve benefited a lot more with more chapters talking about what each combination of the colors is like. i was able to identify the colors that represented me, but i never felt like it gave me any clarity or help beyond that.

This is quite straight forward and helpful.

Excellent book! especially useful to read after you get a reading from Carol

[Steve · Rating 2 out of 5]

I read it for a book challenge of reading titles with the 7 colors of the rainbow through the year. 4 down, 3 to go.

As far as the book itself, I'm sure the writer is well-meaning and believes what she's writing. But I can only take it as seriously as I take the daily horoscope. It seemed like the old trick of writing descriptions that are universal enough that anybody could see how any of the 4 color types could apply to them.

[Chris · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have always been interested in personality. When I took the tests in this book, my color did match my type from the MBTI test that I had taken a while ago. I really loved the artistic way this book was created. I would recommend this book for those wanting to learn more about their personality. This would be a good book for those just starting out.

I saw Dr. Ritberger on the Dr. Oz Show on a segment regarding ailments that might be associated with different personalities. Immediately, I found this book and devoured it, giving the personality analysis test to all my friends. We all agree that Dr. Ritberger knows her stuff and we all learned so much about ourselves and why we are the way we are.
