I found her descriptions accurate in some respects but extremist. Also, I felt the book was rather negative. The "personalities" could have easily been described in a more positive light. I found her descriptions and sort of black and white thinking almost offensive.

Really good look at how the emotional wounds that we have can affect our attractions and relationships. The title indicates that it is focused on romance, but it really covers a lot more than that.

This was a fun and surprisingly insightful book. I read it years ago but some of the information still holds true for many of the people I know.

Loved his book. Super insightful and full of really valuable applications. I like how she identifies the strength, weaknesses, main wounds, and learning points for each type.

This is a great way to learn about your friends and family, and how to cope with the difficult aspects of their personality. I've used it as a book to read aloud at parties, and its fun to meet a new person and start to decide which personality type they are!
