Do you want to better understand yourself, maximize your strengths, and improve your relationships?

Understanding how we are wired can enrich our lives and our relationships, helping to overcome differences that can seem irreconcilable. Instead of terminating jobs, friendships, or marriage on grounds of incompatibility, it is possible to turn these relationships from dying to growing.

For more than 25 years, Marita Littauer, with her mother, Florence Littauer, has helped thousands of men and women with their personal and professional relationships. In Wired That Way, Marita brings together a comprehensive overview of the personality types that speaks to anyone who wants to understand and to be understood.

The different personality traits.

It was hard for me to wrap my head around what appeared to be her narcissism.

This Explains Everything!!!

This book explains why I am the way I am, and why I relate to others the way I do. It then does the same for every body else based on the different personalities. Most helpful of all is the instructions for how to improve relationships with others in marriage, family, work and spiritual life. Learn to be the best you, while having the most effective relationship with the people around you.

A Social Bible

Useful for the work environment, family interaction, or maintaining healthy friendships. The author has a religious filter on her views, so secular readers be aware, but the wisdom in this volume comes through regardless.

Performance by reader Janet Metzger is terrible!

The reader Janet Metzger is atrocious. Her voice is constantly annoyingly happy. She never changes it and it distracts from the text.

Good information. Good insights.

Book tries to fit all parts of life into personality types. However, I did learn a lot and agree on many points.

Mind blowing!

This book is incredible! I've lived feeling like a failure despite my best efforts and clearly listening to the wrong people. So many things make so much sense now. I'm clearly a strong coloric and have many strengths. I learned so much about how to relate to other types, why I was labeled, needs of both myself and others and so many other incredible things. So excited to put this into practice!!!

Helpful Knowledge

This book helped me identify my own personality and the personalities of my husband, children and extended family. With this knowledge, I hope and plan to grow as a person and better communicate with my family and friends. I loved the scripture references and chapter 10 explaining spiritual gifts.
This book helped me see my strengths and weaknesses so that I could start living in my strengths. I did learn due to my parents personalities I have many “learned” strengths and weaknesses that are outside of my personality.
