Good post. The 4 temperaments were made popular in the 1980s (when we were first married) by a Baptist minister and author Tim Lahaye, and from my perspective, were especially helpful in the context of married and family life, although it was also a helpful framework for better understanding and working with my colleagues professionally. Glad to see you revitalizing the temperaments!

Thanks Chuck! Man I can't tell you how helpful they've been for my relationship with my GF but also with friends and family. I really think we should be talking more about them in spaces of spiritual formation

I'd like to read your book translated into Italian.

I'd love to offer my work in multiple languages but sadly can only handle English and Spanish for now haha

Because understanding how different temperaments behave you can be more understanding of the battles that each person has to fight, by realizing that what comes easy to you might be difficult for them and viceversa!

We have more in common between humans than the things that make us different.
