"Reading People": What a Book!
Don't you enjoy receiving a book, which you never would have picked for yourself, and then discovering that you not only love it, but that it was eye-opening as well? Thank you, Susie!.jpg)
Reading People: How Seeing the World Through the Lens of Personality Changes Everything by Anne Bogel is a book that explores popular personality frameworks like StrengthsFinder, Enneagram, and Myers-Briggs to help readers understand themselves and others better, leading to improvements in relationships, career, and spiritual life. The author uses personal stories and research to explain how these tools foster self-awareness and empathy, making it easier to navigate life, love, and work by understanding why people act the way they do.
“The frameworks in this book can highlight what upsets you (and why) and what makes you hum. They can help you understand what’s causing friction in your relationships, and what to do about it. They can open your eyes to what’s really going on in situations that currently make you batty.”
I learned a great deal about myself and those who are in my life. There's greater tolerance when there's understanding. As a matter of fact, the core message of Reading People is that understanding personality is a tool for self-acceptance and for better understanding and accepting others, even if they are different from you. While the message is a simple one, it's good to hear it. I plan to study this book often.
"I've come to think understanding personality
is like holding a good map.
That map can't take you anywhere.
It doesn't change your location;
you're still right where you were before.
But the map's purpose isn't to move you;
it's to show you the lay of the land."
-Anne Bogel
