Dr. Lahaye, the unsung miracle man of "modern" psychology,
By Remi Adams (Broadview, Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Understanding the Male Temperament: What Women Want to Know About Men but Don't Know How to Ask (Hardcover)
This book made me throw all my past ideas of psychology aside. It changed my life! While simple to read, this book is both the unified field theory and the rosetta stone of the human personality. Totally amazed, I followed Dr. Lahaye's simple wheel chart and went right to a categorized temperament type. Bulls eye! Using a daringly bold style my temperament category was told of it's greatest weakness. Exposed, I saw myself as silly and not strong. I now block that characteristic out of my interpersonal relationships with men, and especially women. Like a similar best selling author, Dr. Laura, Dr. Lahaye writes with scriptural emphasis probably gleaned from his Christian college President and professional family counseling years.

This review is from: Understanding the Male Temperament: What Women Want to Know about Men But Don't Know How to Ask (Paperback)
The goal of this book is to enhance communication between people. Differences in communication styles and assumptions between genders is discussed throughout the book. Four categories of personality are presented; sanguine, choleric, melancholy, and phlegmatic. Combinations of these four major groups are also included. A section is devoted to introverts and extroverts. Additional topics under the four basic temperaments include: character, productivity, courage, emotions, sexuality, and mind. These subcategories are placed under the major four and explained as they relate to each one.

One of Tim laHaye's better books,
By Kate Slan (Sydney, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Understanding the Male Temperament: What Women Want to Know About Men but Don't Know How to Ask (Hardcover)
This is one of Tim LaHaye's better non-fiction efforts... as a professional in the field of personality (which Tim calls temperament) there are many better books available, but it is not bad. Most of the info on personality factors is non-gender-specific, although the illustrations and applications used all relate to men, so remember that if you're looking for information on personality in general. It is quite accessible and understandable, and it would be good to see companion books about women's and kids' personalities - particularly kids, because understanding the personality of your children is an exceptional parenting tool. However, I think Tim is too busy churning out apocalyptic novels to worry about these at the moment!
