Making Sense of People: Decoding the Mysteries of Personality by Samuel H. Barondes
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received this as a free ebook from BN.com, when it was recommended in a comment on the Free Friday blog. I read it because I want to understand people, and this recommends a systematic way to observe for information and to listen to the stories people tell about themselves.
If you are looking for a pop psychology book to help you change someone, this may not be the book for you. This book has information about the scientists and their experiments that help describe terms for personalities, traits and character facets. Once we better understand consistent terminology, observation can be more consistent. Recognition may help us avoid people, and perhaps we can understand those we can't avoid.
