I loved reading the book.It’s interesting to review 4 personality types, and not talk about 16 different ones.It definitely helped me see that people perceive situations differently and that some personality traits are not directed at a person, but is just how they are.The author separated the different personality types really well and it helped in every day life to understand how to better approach people.

Absolutely fascinating! This book will help you explore the four different personality types in everyday life. (Red, Yellow, Green and Blue. Yes, I’ve started seeing people around me as one of the four colours or a mix which is both funny and interesting.) You will learn how to recognise and deal with them. Also it will help you understand more about yourself, which is certainly proving to be a eye opener for myself. This is a must read for 2024 to ensure the idiot out there isn’t you!

I was curious about the book but didn't expect very much. To my surprise it caught my attention right from the beginning. It is clear and easy to understand and I had great fun looking at my nearest and dearest to compare them with the different characters. It's true, very informative. I also recognised myself pretty easily and since reading it I'm trying to avoid some pitfalls, which I didn't even know where there. My husband also enjoyed reading the book and we had some good discussions about it. Currently, the book is in the hands of a good friend and the feedback so far is very positive.

Really interesting book, opened my eyes to why people act so differently to myself and why I feel I may struggle to (successfully) interact with certain individuals. Was hoping to read a bit more evidence and psychological theories, but this is something I can do in my own time now I know the basics. Great read - would highly recommend.

This is going to be a short review. It's a book that can really help you conceptualise how people think and interact with the world. No way of understanding people is foolproof. Whether you use Myers-Briggs, Astrology or this method, you will never really fully understand people. But the point raised by the book is that you should at least attempt to understand people before you judge them. This book gave me a really interesting perspective and a new set of tools to use in my interpersonal relationships. It was really funny how much I identified with my own alignment. It raised a lot of my strengths and revealed a lot of my shortcomings. Especially in relation to work. I'm very much an ideas person and I'm very bad at being self-motivated and embarking on detailed tasks and taking the initiative with work related activities. In my own life, I'll passionately embark on projects, but I have to be coddled a bit to get the most out of me at work. Something I'll be working on. Are we all surrounded by idiots? The answer is a pretty simple one. We're the idiots. A lot of our disagreements stem from misunderstanding and miscommunication. The people we interact with have their own ways of handling the world. It's always worth acknowledging our weaknesses and looking at other people's talents and trying to adopt better strategies. I felt it lacked a little depth on the negatives. Most of these ways of understanding people try to focus on the positives. They do this because no reader wants to learn about their shortcomings. But I think it could have done with exploring them more. Not least for the reader's benefit, but also to help people understand how to work with other people's foibles. The author is also quick to point out that people shift across the colours a lot. So a person might be half of two colours. Or a mix of three. Given the situation. The art to this framework is keeping an open mind about people and working with them in a way that allows them to be themselves and not judge them before you understand them a bit better. A lot of reviews point out that this is not a new way of thinking. But I think if you read their reviews, it is pretty clear they just didn't like reading about themselves. You'll have a lot of people that don't enjoy being put into boxes. But the author is very clear to say that isn't the point. It's a tool. A framework. It doesn't mean you're violent if you're a red. It doesn't mean you're a rum gagger if you're a yellow. A pushover as a green. Or boring if you're a blue. If they stumble over the concept, I put that down to a stubborn attitude some people have and it is not a failure of the author. They're very careful to say that it's not about stuffing people into boxes, but about trying to approximately understand people and it's an ongoing process. If you don't read this with an open mind, you're going to dislike it. Some people just don't enjoy labels and reject them aggressively. They're usually Reds and Yellows.
