Florence Littauer (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1996

Many people are playing roles they never auditioned for, on stages they didn't design, while wearing masks they don't know how to remove. They are trying so hard to be all things to all people that they do not know who they really are. What about you?

• Have you tried so hard to be all things to all people that you are not sure who you really are?
• As an adult are you still struggling to become what your parents had in mind for you?
• Do you want to understand yourself and others better?
• Do you want to learn more about your family heritage?

What Florence Littauer has to say in Your Personality Tree offers readers the opportunity to discover their true identity through a process of discovering how family relationships and circumstances can mask their natural temperament.

Your Personality Tree is the perfect compliment to Florence's mega hit, Personality Plus. Where as Personality Plus leads the reader through the steps of identifying and understanding his or her temperament, Your Personality Tree explores the deeper root causes of behavoir. Your Personality Tree tenderly excavates the reasons of deep seeded frustrations in one's personality, and the habit of "masking" natural characteristics. Florence Littaurer unlocks the key to peel off the many masks people use to mask past pain. After finishing Your personality Tree, the reader is free from debilitating struggles, and can finally start to experience the personlity that God gave them. Thanks Florence!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fruit doesn't fall far from the tree that bore it., April 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Your Personality Tree (Paperback)

If you really want to understand yourself, it is necessary to look at your ancestry. Some people don't like looking back for fear of what they may discover. However, it is this discovery that will answer many of your life's questions and start the healing process.

Even though this book is not a treatise on nuture versus nature, it gives a balanced insight into this issue. It's amazing to find that after we do an honest assessment of ourselves, we find out we are just like (you fill in the blank, with a person in your family). Even though I did not have the extensive knowledge of my ancestors as did Florence, her many examples help me shed some light on my family's background. Examine the fruit and you will very likely determine what type of tree you have or came from.

This book is not about blame and is not a way for you to settle in the "that's just the way I am mode" either. Looking back can help you prevent some tragic mistakes of the past or at least will give you some warning signs about where you may be headed. I also think this book gives very readable clues about what things we are predisposed to and if we are wise will avoid.

I highly suggest you read the Personality Plus book first and then read this book. However, you will still get the benefits from reading this one even if you don't read the Personality Plus book.

This book is a book of freedom. Free to be you in light of your ancestry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be required reading for everyone!, October 27, 2000

Kathy - See all my reviews

This review is from: Your Personality Tree (Paperback)

I can not say enough wonderful things about this book. Littauer's Personality Plus, the predecessor to this book was informative, but this one really dives into the personalities in depth as they relate to our tempermental make-up and family history. She also adds a deeper spiritual element to her work, which challenges the reader even further. I can't imagine a better tool for finding out why you are the way you are, who and what influenced your personality, and why we all should accept ourselves and each other the way God created us.
