The author shares not only her personal discoveries but also her false starts and personal growth as she learns about herself and her friends and family. I felt like I was chatting with a friend about her exploration of these tools. The writing style and tone is conversational and approachable. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and Keirsey Temperaments.
