A path to self-improvement that will find a role in many different libraries

Any who would seek meaning, purpose and happiness in life will find Making a Difference By Being Yourself is an outstanding choice, built on the basics of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator assessment tool and offering stories of over 500 people from all walks of life who used the tool to improve work and home relationships alike. From core personality types to behavioral influences and changes in important relationships, this lays out a path to self-improvement that will find a role in many different libraries: from general-interest lending libraries to business and health collections.

Find your life calling through Myers-Briggs testing

Making a Difference by Being Yourself is based on the Myers-Briggs personality profiles. If you are unaware of what those are, they are tests designed to define your personality in four areas, and provide a framework for understanding your job, relationship, and personal issues in a Jungian perspective. Huszczo has taken part of the end result (two of the four areas) and created a system for discovering what sorts of activities each of the four would find satisfying when trying to find things that help them make a difference in the world around them. If you haven't taken a Myers-Briggs test, he included several tests to help you determine your specific personality type, and exercises for examining how likely you are to use the themes or skills at your job and in your relationships. The four types Huszczo uses are Stablizers (ST), Harmonizers (SF), Catalysts (NF), and Visionaries (NT), and each has their own styles in working with others, which Huszczo details out in an easy-to-use-and-follow format, and also provides suggestions on how to help increase your usefulness within your organization and personal relationships. Not a book for everyone (remember all those quizzes), but, for people are familiar with the Myers-Briggs typing will find it more useful than other guides, as Huszczo moves beyond just typing people and more into presenting guideposts to using your type to being more helpful, productive, and making a difference.
