Mods feel free to move if in wrong area.

Hi Guys. i'm just wondering if anyone could recommend any good books about dealing with different personality types.

I'm not talking about mental health issue but you know if some for example might be a passive aggressive type or be a higher ego type. Just something that might give some points on what to look for and how to deal with these types of people.

There is actually heaps of stuff online about different personality types. Freud had his theories, Carl Jung would be another, maybe start there, and take the links from there on. It is extremely fascinating reading about the different personality types out there, best of luck in your search

Im not sure if theres one overall book that covers them each on an individual basis but I found these to be very good:

This one is about how to deal with "Covert agressive personalities"

This one is about dealing with people who attack others in a subversive, indirect manner(invalidators)

This one is about poeple who try to control others
