What Makes You Tick

What Makes You Tick And What Ticks You Off by Brad Dude & Jim Harmon

About The Book:

Throughout history, people have struggled to understand what makes people tick, and they've lived with people who tick them off. Gaining a better understanding of why we do the things we do and learning why we are often angered by the actions of others is the focus of this book. This reader-friendly book sheds new light on addressing the conflicts we face daily with our boss, our children, and our spouses. It teaches us about our troublesome shadow temperament and how we can learn to appreciate the temperaments of others to reduce the conflict in our own lives. Colorful characters named Dom and Shad will help readers learn whether their dominant preference or shadow preference is Earth, Air, Fire or Water - one of the basic elements.

My Thoughts:

I really enjoyed reading this book, and I actually learned a lot about my self. I found out that my dominate temperament (the one that feels right for you, the one that most describes who you are) is Earth - one of the four elements Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. Earth is traditional, sensible, and serious. My shadow temperament (how you feel about others who have this temperament and it typically gets a negative reaction from you) is Water - nosy, meddlesome, and clingy. I like the way this book is laid out, and I especially like the personal examples the book gives to help you understand. Very interesting!
