This book is like taking an introductory psychology course but leaving out the parts where the professor says "...but we don't know if that's actually accurate" and replacing it with 100% assurance and belief.

I had to put down the book once "love languages" came up. For anyone not in the know, the concept of love languages was created by a crazy pastor who insists that, for example, if your husband hits you it's just because his love language is "physical touch" and you, as a woman, aren't performing enough "acts of service" for him. Coincidentally, "acts of service" is how (he says) lots of women show love... which is good and "natural...." The whole concept of love languages was just made up by him and isn't based in any actual kind of science.

So when this book based a substantial chunk of its argument off the love languages malarky, the curtain on the rest of the book fell down for me too. The writer insists that you can guess what people want/need via figuring out their love language, and gives you handy diagrams and figures to do so. Except the foundation-- the entire idea of that-- is just bullshit, so what is this? Bullshit x2?

Hell, if I researched basic psychology (both the pop-psychology and the legitimate psychology) and then created a paradigm of "how to be successful at people" based off those concepts, I'm sure I'd be able to write a book too.  

I started reading this book expecting innovative tips and tricks, but instead I was met with the equivalent of someone basing their understanding of human nature off of the Stanford Prison Experiment. (Also not science.) 

Do not recommend.
