Does your spouse's need to alphabetically organize books on the shelves puzzle you? Do your boss's tsunami-like moods leave you exasperated? Do your child's constant questions make you batty? If you've ever wanted to change your mate, your coworkers, or a family member, then "Put down your chisel," advise David Keirsey and Marilyn Bates in this book of personality types. We are different for a reason, and that reason is probably more good than bad. Keirsey and Bates believe that not only is it impossible to truly change others (which they call embarking on a "Pygmalion project"), it's much more important to understand and affirm differences. Sounds easier than it is, you might say. Well, this book is a guide for putting an end to the Pygmalion projects in your life and starting on the path to acceptance.

Versteh Mich Bitte: Charakter-Und Temperament-Typen (German Edition)

Marilyn Bates attributes her love for the outdoors, with which she begins this collection, to those quiet afternoons of shelling peas under the osage orange tree with her grandmother or digging in her own small patch next to her father's garden. Their psyches, delicately linked, like roots beneath the soil, bear fruit in this poetry. Most painful of all these experience is the illness which linked her to her father and distanced her from her sister as a child. Her disease lies palpably under all of this work as she speaks of those with whom her blood is mixed, both literally and psychologically.
