Book description
Utilizing Jung's model of personality type and grounded in sixty
years of personality studies, I'm Not Crazy, I'm Just Not You
illustrates basic differences in the ways people read and respond to
the same situations. Authors Roger Pearman and Sarah Albritton apply
the concepts of personality type to everyday situations - working,
loving, parenting, and communicating with friends and colleagues. They
show how our personality preferences produce interpersonal blind spots
that lead to misunderstandings and they offer practical tips for
communicating more effectively with others. Much more than a basic
introduction to the fundamentals of personality, this volume examines
the powerful influence of personality type on adult development,
discusses the implications of personality style in our communication
pathways and explains how different types are likely to experience and
value differences. This new edition also includes new chapters on
cross-cultural and cross-generational uses, emotional intelligence,
enrichment and personal effectiveness with managing change, stress,
conflict, health and careers.
This second edition of I'm Not Crazy, I'm Just Not You advocates
sincerely and intelligently for greater tolerance and for valuing
differences. This book is of huge relevance to those working in the
