This review is from: The Game of Truth: A Humorous Guide to Self-Discovery (Paperback)

Fernando Bontempi, veteran psychoanalyst Francisco Bontempi, and innovative educator Annette Segal effectively collaborated to present The Game Of Truth: A Humorous Guide To Self-Discovery as a kind of do-it-yourself diagnostic and remediative therapy in a single volume. The Game Of Truth offers the reader field-tested questions, self-diagnosis feedback tools, evaluation cards, pithy sayings and spicy cartoons. Fun, informative, insightful, pragmatic, The Game Of Truth is a highly recommended, valued, "user friendly" offering for the non-specialist general reader in search of an effective self-help approach to becoming aware of themselves, and their interpersonal dynamics with friends and family.

The Game of Truth is a wonderful resource for team and individual development. It is very useful to break the ice when bringing people of many different backgrounds together. The book builds self-esteem and enhances communication in a fun and even therapeutic way. It is a great idea generator and relationship builder. The illustrations are excellent and add to the intrigue.

This review is from: The Game of Truth: A Humorous Guide to Self-Discovery (Paperback)

Here's a book that shows you just how much you don't share with others and a pragmatic, fun way to change that! The cartoons are very funny, the games challenging and I found the guidelines for giving feedback useful at work. The questions cover every aspect of life - and more! I found these questions great for journaling too! Find out what people you think you know are really about - and challenge yourself at the same time.
