Reading People by Anne Bogel

Raise your hand if you’ve taken a BuzzFeed quiz today?  More than one?  Yeah, you’re not alone.  I hate to admit I might have just taken a quiz titled “Choose Some Baked Goods and We’ll Predict Your Future” because if you know me, you know I love bread more than Oprah.  (Don’t worry, I received good results.  I’m going to travel the world.)  I’m a sucker for those silly little quizzes, and for good reason too.  It’s more than wanting to know if my choice in baked goods will lead me to have a good life; it’s wanting to know more about myself and my life.  

Anne Bogel’s Reading People goes beyond the silly check-box quizzes to help you deal with the complexity of real life.  She explores several of the leading personality frameworks, including Myers-Briggs, the Enneagram, Keirsey’s Temperaments, and the 5 Love Languages, to show you how they are set up and interconnected.  If you’re looking for a good way to get an overview on these frameworks, this is book for you.  Read more to hear my thoughts on this highly engaging read.
