A Must Read! This book is a MUST-READ for everyone on the planet! I loved reading this book. It was interesting, funny and exciting to be learning so much about what make everyone tick! It was a very easy and fast read! Awesome!!!!! This is a very informational book. Dr. Rohm is so informative on this subject. I read this book a couple of years ago, before I got to see him in at a conference. I would recommend this book to anybody and everybody. I would also recommend that you see this guy in action..he is soo fun and interesting. I can hardly wait to get another book/CD or see Dr. Rohm again. Accepting and Understanding Yourself and Others There are a myriad of books discussing personality types in all kinds of esoteric ways -- from the Enneagram to Numerology to the Meyer-Briggs typology. All those may be very useful to a professional in the field of psychology or sociology, but for a person who wants simply to get a handle on how to work and play with others, they are far too complex and obscure.The beauty of "Positive Personality Profiles" is that it is simple and deep. It uses the basic concept of four personality types that has been around for centuries. These personalities are identified by letters (rather than the Greek terms - Sanguine, Choleric, etc.). The author advises that most people are COMBINATIONS of the four types. But generally a person will emphasize one or two primary ways of behaving and being. If you approach this book with a reasonable balance of skepticism and openness, you may find a lot of value in here. The viewpoint of the author is frankly Christian, and he uses examples from the New Testament to back up his ideas. This may offend some, though it didn't bother me and I'm Jewish. I enjoyed his writing style and anecdotes. I also appreciate the genuine good will that pervades this book. The author wants to lead us readers down a path of acceptance and understanding. This is not about categorizing and judging people, but about letting them into our hearts.
