I read about temperaments decades ago. Knowing people’s temperaments helps you understand why they act the way they do, according to Tim Lahaye in his book, Why You Act the Way You Do. In that book, he went ahead to list the four major temperaments and made it easy for us to identify which was Read More…
I remember everything leading to my 40th birthday. Changes in my thinking and understanding.
