This is indeed very beneficial.

It's really useful to have all kinds of consumers on a website or online platform.

So entertaining and it’s even educational! :)

The humor in this book, the tone of voice, and the inflection that the author used was very helpful for staying engaged and remaining an active listener. Very well done! Very relatable content, helpful scenarios that are commonplace, yet not commonly dealt with in helpful ways such as is taught within this book.

Humorous and enlightening

I was introduced to Dave Mitchell in a zoom call organized by The Natural Stone Institute. I really wanted to learn more about my personality styles and what it means about what my career path should be. I have been on a journey to find my true purpose for a while now and I really struggle. Although these books haven’t provided me with the Aha moment I am looking for they did explain exactly why I can’t find it and why I struggle!!! I literally laugh out loud as I listen to Dave describe my romantic- mastermind personality type! It is so “right on” that I am a little embarrassed.
I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in understanding themselves and those they live and work with better. It is very enlightening and I believe reading this will help me pivot myself In A direction more appropriate for my type and also stop beating myself up for not being the “expert” all my previous career positions require! Very helpful and fun to listen to!

The Power of Understanding People

I thought this book is an interesting and fun way to understand human interactions. I enjoyed learning about each persona and trying to match them with myself and people I know. Looking forward to seeing the next book to explore interactions among the twelve Hollywood characters.

"So what I'm hearing you say is that you love the refrigerator, you're just concerned about the investment, is that right?"

These 3 lines were amazing tips, that I really hope to use in my future.
This was a great book, that I learned about after hearing Dave present to me and a few coworkers. Really great book, and I'm happy I read it.
