Kodėl jis? Kodėl ji? Kaip sužinoti savo asmenybės tipą ir surasti tikrąją meilę by Helen Fisher

I don't know why, but I am obsessed with learning about myself. I love that there are biological reasons why I act and do the things I do. I find everything about the mind so interesting. Now that I read this, I am constantly going to try to figure out everyone's temperament around me. I think that it is also so interesting that all of this is proven by science.

Me ha parecido interesantísimo leer sobre por qué nos sentimos atraídos a nivel biológico por otras personas. Como siempre, me molesta que Helen Fisher sea tan hetero básica y asuma la atracción principal entre hombre y mujer, pero dejando eso a un lado, he aprendido y disfrutado un montón (y me he sentido muy identificada a ratos)

Quite original. Let's see how this theory works in real life. I'm afraid, more than anyone can imagine. Than happily ever after... or some flying objects in a row?

Really insightful book. I had never thought about personality types as biologically influenced and it was really interesting to see how this lined up. I will say I felt like the book was super accurate to who I am as a person, I fit pretty much perfectly into the types I tested into. I like that it wasn't just a a book about matches and dating and it spent a lot of time talking about how you as individual worked.

This book talked about the four personality types and what kind of people they look for, based on anthropological surveys. It was interesting enough but not earth-shattering.

Good book for reference. This is exploring "personality types" for courtship/ finding mates. Think of it like Meyers Briggs but for dating. Like other personality tests, there's the tendency to flow between a lot of the archetypes but it's nice to have a framework.
Also a lot of gendered stereotypes, I don't know if this was in my copy from 2009 and had been worked on in later editions. Can be a little frustrating at times; I think there's more nuance to "men good at math, women not as much" for instance

Despite how much the book cover looks like a self-help book, this is one of those cases when you mut apply the old saying 'do not judge a book by it's cover'.
The book is filled with great insight as to the biological and chemical components that determine a lot of our attitudes and reactions to outside stimulus. There's a lot to say about the book but I would simply recommend it to understand how each of us builds relationship and even get to understand the self better in order to build more meaningful relationships, be them friendships or love.
As a not, the author makes a great job of stating when something is but a belief or a suspicions she has, so pay special attention to the wording to avoid digesting everything as if it were proven. Other than that the book is a pretty good and easy read.

I am evidently a NEGOTIATOR/Explorer (emphasis Fisher's as the capitals indicate my predominant character supported by the secondary character). Odd combination, in my opinion, which possibly explains why I am a bit scattered in terms of relationships. Completely giving and generous, understanding and reeling in possibilities of a long-lasting partnership, I am extremely independent and find myself enjoying brief encounters as I move on to the next fancy. When I love, I love deeply, but insist on retaining the part of myself that likes adventure and who dislikes making things too complicated (although I can dissect a relationship to pieces).
Ok...this is not a "how do I save a relationship" book. Furthermore, I would not exactly characterize this as a self-help book. Fisher is not giving relationship advice, necessarily. She is using biology with sociology and psychology to explain why we are attracted to some individuals and not others. She fully realizes that our past influences our present in terms of connection and chemistry. All in all, love largely remains a toss up. However, Fisher does give good indication of who we are and how our personalities mesh (or do not mesh) with other personalities. It is a very quick, easy read...and a bit fun.

I enjoyed this book as an exploration into personality more so than as a how to "find the perfect match". My biggest complaint about it is she tells the reader how to change how they act in order to attract a specific personality type, and I don't agree with that sentiment at all. Always be yourself; if that makes you not click with someone, then that's a good thing because who wants to have to remember all of those rules in order to talk to someone who is supposed to be a regular in your life?
