The Five Elements: Understand Yourself and Enhance Your Relationships with the Wisdom of the World's Oldest Personality Type System

If you think you have understood the 5 elements before, this book brings a very interesting and in depth look at the characters and personalities of the 5 elements and how people are naturally likely to behave within the concept of the primary element they were born with. There is so much information in this book, and its beautifully written.

So pleased I bought this book. Love the lay out. Great read. Very informative.

Interesting book giving an introduction into the 5 elements. Still can't identify myself though. A very interesting read nonetheless.

I have been looking for a book to explain the Five Elements in a modern way and this did exactly that. I read nearly all of it in one sitting, easy to read and I now have a much better understanding of the Five Elements which is something I've wanted to learn for years. Would highly recommend to anyone who has heard of the Five Elements and wants to understand how they work.

Absolutely loved this book and refer back to it many times 💕💕💕

I love this book. However it is very difficult to apply the knowledge given the fact that, as it says in the book, we and others are constantly changing. So in the end you spend a lot of time on the questionnaires but later on you should take them again! Lots to learn anyway.

This book is one of my favourites. I reckomend to anyone

Interesting and well written. Sent promptly. Will use Seller again. Thank you.

Love this book

un buen resumen para detectar los cinco elementos en las personalidades, un buen camino para la introspección. La parte final en la que te ayuda a detectar a los elementos en los niños es muy interesante

I read this book, exactly as indicated by my Water element,, skipping around and taking it in, matching my friends and family with their own elements. I must say, my skepticism vanished as the personalities of those closest to me were described and explained in surprisingly accurate detail. I gained some much needed insight into some of the more difficult people inhabiting my world, and often found myself laughing and nodding my head in agreement with much that I read. The Five Elements gives you a quick snapshot of personality in a few pages that would take a long time to develop from observation and interaction with a person, giving effective suggestions and direction in dealing with each element type. There are checklists / quizzes to help determine your primary and secondary elements , as well as descriptions of each element's underlying motivations, and behavior under stress or fear. Dondi Dahlin's writing is conversational and easy to understand without prior knowledge of the subject.

Absolutely marvelous book, chockfull of good to know information about you and others.

It is quite rare for a work of non-fiction to be a page-turner that I stay up late reading long after my cherished bedtime, yet this one did just that. It is impressive how eloquently the author communicates the ancient system of the five elements to the modern reader. I soaked up every story, every description, and every idea as though I was dying of thirst and the words on the page were a tall drink of water. Learning about different personality types has never been so FUN! As I read the explanation of each element, I was able to recognize people in my life – or at times myself – and gain a greater sense of understanding as well as greater compassion for us all. I really love that the author gives practical suggestions for ways that the various element types can work together in harmony and complement each other in relationships. I feel that, after reading this book, I have a greater appreciation for my fellow humans and that I have a means by which to operate among them more successfully and more satisfyingly. I wish everyone would read this book and therefore view one another through the elements – what a world that would be!
