About author(s): Devora Zack is CEO of Only Connect Consulting, a Washington Post bestselling author, and a global keynote speaker with books in twenty languages.
And she once again affirms that, like chocolate and peanut butter, we are better together.
As always, Zack fearlessly and entertainingly dispels myths, squashes stereotypes, and transforms perceived liabilities into strengths.
She includes real-life scenarios that show how to nurture one\'s nature while successfully connecting with those on the other side.
Then Zack helps them figure out where other people might be, guiding them through a myraid of modes of communication and motivation based on personality type.
This book includes an assessment so readers can learn where they are on the Thinker/Feeler spectrum--and because it\'s a spectrum, readers might well be a snowCactus or a cactusflake.
The best use of our energy is to focus on our own reactions and perceptions rather than try to "fix" other people.
Zack says we can directly control only three things: what we say, what we think, and what we do.
But can people with such fundamentally different ways of making sense of and engaging with the world work together? Yes, says Devora Zack ! The key is not to try to change each other.
This book calls them Cacti and Snowflakes--each singularly transcendent.
The famed Myers-Briggs personality scale says that Feelers (who lead with their hearts) put more weight on personal concerns and the people involved, and Thinkers (who lead with their heads) are guided by objective principles and impartial facts.
Readers will discover how blending with their opposite opens the pathway to being their truest selves.
