I'm Not Crazy  I'm just Not You By Roger R. Pearman  & Sarah C. Albritton    Applying the 16 Myers-Biggs Type Indicator personality types, this remarkable book,  I'm Not Crazy I'm just Not You,   does away with our common misconceptions about what is "normal."  It explains, for instance, why certain people thrive on ambiguity while others want clarity and definition why some people are friendly and uninhibited while others are restrained and fastidious. Connecting these insights to the everyday situations of working, loving, parenting, and communicating with friends and colleagues, psychologists and authors Roger Pearman and Sarah Albritton show how our individual differences often produce interpersonal blind spots that lead to misunderstandings.  They teach how to recognize and value differences without letting them get in the way of our relationships and how to communicate successfully with others whose ways of looking at the world and relations may be far different from our own. "With this book you will become aware of the dynamics and patterns natural to each individual's way of seeing, thinking, feeling, and responding to the world.  We and many others have found these insights intriguing, helpful, and often transformative.  We hope you will too." -From the Preface Order Here $17.00
