Transforming Your Temperament

By Tim LaHaye

Book Overview

Understanding the temperaments - the different combinations of inborn traits that affect behavior - can help people understand why they do what they do, and how they can choose healthy alternatives to negative personality traits. Spirit-Controlled Temperament introduces Dr. LaHaye's classic four-fold temperament theory and helps readers identify which one best describes them. Transformed Temperaments draws on biographical studies of four important people from the Bible to demonstrate how, by the power of the Holy Spirit, readers can shape and refine each temperament type. Why You Act the Way You Do guides readers in managing fear, anger, depression, and other negative emotions according to temperament types, and presents practical tips on handling different temperaments in the workplace and in marriage.? Offering an important tool for self-discovery, Transforming Your Temperament shows readers the way to a new freedom of purpose, peace, and personal dignity.

Manual Del Temperamento: Descubra su Potencial

It is a great book. It helps us to understand why others and ourselves behave and react so different in the same situations in life. By pointing out our weakness as well as our strenghts, it helps us to be aware that most of our weakness have to do with our temperament. Besides, it clarifies that many of the attributes of others are natural in them and that we can't change that but certainly we can do a lot in improving our temeperament. I would recomment this book to anybody. It's a gra book.

Helps understanding of others strength and weaknesses.

This book helpy one understand the good and Godly qualities of others and understand that everyone was made differently and wonderfully. Great and clearly written book

An outstanding study of the four personality profiles.

Since this book is generally found in the religous books area, it is often overlooked as a clear and consise study of the four commonly recognized individual personality traits. It is a great read for self-analysis and also provides insight on how to predict how others will react in various situations. Having read the book several times, I have found it to be a great reference when analyzing people and predicting their actions. Recognition of personility tendencies can be very powerful in both personal and professional life.
