One important skill to better relationships is figuring out how to put ourselves in another person’s shoes.
In our relationships we often approach people from our perspective rather than from theirs. We super-impose our version of the world over the things people say and do. If we really want to understand others, we have to try to see things from their point of view.
This book will help you understand the people in your life. It describes four basic personalities based on the “core motivation” for each type of person. No one of us fits perfectly into any of these personalities, but these are a good starting point for starting to see how different our approach to life and experiences can be.
Journal: Take notes while you read this book. Who is someone in your life that you can understand a little better now that you know the motivation behind their actions?
