Applying The Character Code

Becoming the person who deserves and achieves true happiness in life is my ultimate goal. This book has helped me discover exactly what I need to work on to achieve that goal. This book makes the path more clear.

Amazing! See yourslef and others more correctly!

The book is awesome! I noticed a very bitter review written above and was so shocked I decided to write my own! (First let me state I do not know Hartman and I am not writing this review because of any connection to him! I am writing this because this book is amazing and I hope everyone looking into this book reads it! So to the bitter person who wrote the review above I say this; What is the cause of your obvious bitter disdain for Dr. Hartman?) Dr Hartman's identifications of the base personality types is right on target! He very accurately identifies the root motivations and needs of the 4 different personality types helping the reader immediately gain a deeper understanding of human behavior. I love this book so much I have given away 2 copies and have boughten his second book, "Color Your Future." (Another extremely insightful book!) I promise if you get this book you will not regret it!

This book answers a lot of questions.

You should really read this book if you have been unhappy with your "lot" in life or are just plain unhappy with yourself. It answers a lot of questions and is like taking a look in the mirror. It may seem simplistic to break down the human personality into four color groups, but if you read through the book and spend some time on the tables, you will find your core personality. Then things will become much more clear. One whole chapter is spent on valuing oneself and its relevance to your whole being and to self-actualization. Dr. Hartman describes how doing what you love to do is part of valuing yourself. It asks that you not give up what you love, which is exactly what I had been doing. I found the book to be easy to follow and very logical and sensible. I've read through it once, but am going to keep it on hand to keep reminding me that there is hope.

Tired of the same old self help psychobable?

Then read this book by Dr. Taylor Hartman. After reading his first two books on "The Color Code" and "The Character Code", this is the obvious follow up book on how to use the strengths and weaknesses of each personality "color" type presented by Dr. Hartman to understand your own inherent strengths and weaknesses. This book helps you examine your motives for doing the things you do and determining if they are "clean" motive or "dirty" motives. This is a recipe book for developing good character and is a must read for all parents and their teenage children as well. Dr.Hartman takes up where Dr. Laura leaves off by showing us how to become a more charactered human being instead of just telling us we should become one!
