I have a couple of her books, bought after I heard her speak at a seminar. Wow. I'm old and retired now, but am fascinated by her insight and enthusiasm, so clearly portrayed in her books. Wish I'd had the foresight to get into that field all those years ago. We are the same age, went to the same university at about the same time. (As did the daughter of New Orleans' "tomato farmer" Carlos Marcello.) I have tremendous respect for Jan, her mind, her knowledge and excitement for her craft, and her SHOES!

great psychology for the novice reader
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
my favorite part was the "personality types" MELANCHOLY, CHOLREIC, PHLEGMATIC AND SANGUINE . this book helps you in understanding your partner, parents, children, co-workers and total strangers. dealing with people is life and this book clarifies the why, when and how people perform, react, choose or respond based on their psychological make up. you are ONE of the four it states, even though you may relate to the other descriptions. it has helped me understand why my mother is the way she is, why "the boss" reacts at work in the way she does, why my ex-partner did the things he did, and the situations go on. this is a book for every family wanting to learn about themselves, their kids, their parents or anyone on earth. for employers this part of the book would be good for hiring certain individuals for the job you se they are naturals at performing. an also related book is called "the givers and the takers" by Cris Evatt and Bruce Feld.
Make eye contact!

I'll never stand with my thumbs in my pockets again! Jan is great! I heard about this book from a friend and had to investigate. I have read other "body language" books before, but this is much more. Jan has the background, wit and writing ability make it fun and interesting. I especially like the temperments portion and find that I now try to use the info to help in my business and personal relationships. I even tried to give the test to my dog! You've got to read this!

I heard Jan speak in public in Baltimore last year. She really hits the nail on the head. This book is fabulous for any business, especially sales, environment. It is quite a helpful tool for figuring out personalities and dealing with carious situations.
