Florence Littauer has taught leadership seminars for more than twenty-five years and is the president of CLASS Speakers, Inc. She and her husband, Fred, travel internationally conducting seminars and retreats. Littauer lives in Cathedral City, California.
The best-selling author of Personality Plus and Personality Plus for Parents now shows couples how to apply the personality principles that have made Florence so popular. Husbands and wives will understand why they act the way they do and how they can best respond to each other.
Personality Plus for Couples gives husbands and wives:
* a personality profile test to identify their personality types
* the trademark characteristics of each personality type
* ways to resolve hot conflicts that arise between spouses
* what to expect if you marry someone of the same type, someone of the opposite type, or someone with a compatible personality type
Littauer offers pages of stories and practical insight about how to approach each personality differently. When husbands and wives care enough to understand what makes the other tick, they can celebrate each other's individuality and build a marriage that lasts.
