The Comprehensive ENFP Survival Guide

I am about halfway through this ENFP guide and I noticed no one has written review for it. Having read a large number of ENFP books and sections in other career/personality books I already am finding this to be my favorite for a number of reasons.1. It isn't ridiculously short! The stand alone books and the sections for any individual type within a larger book all seem somewhat lacking in depth due to lack of content.2. This book seems to really dish out the positive and negative aspects of this personality type. In turn it explains how to work towards strengths and manage weaknesses.3. The author has really constructed something which hits you from many angles. There are cited aspects for how ENFP people develop over their lives. There are layers of other personality subsets using other personality profiles, and suggestions for looking further into this new info. There is a lot of input from other fellow ENFPs.4. In every section the info seems so valid, but beyond that there have been many quotes, suggestions and descriptions that have really hit home and given me "the feels" or made me laugh out loud. Obviously I can't guarantee you will feel the same but if you are an ENFP it's probable you will and that you will love feeling understood and validated! ;-)I will gladly update this review when I have finished the book, but I wanted to put something out there to encourage people to give this book a go if they are looking for more information on the ENFP personality. This book is much better than the cheapies or the freebies or the "one chapter" in any of the bigger books like "What Color is Your Parachute?", etc. Well worth $4.99!UPDATE: Sorry I forgot to update this when I finished reading the book. That said, I am not sure there is that much more to be written which I haven't already covered. I've read a lot of published material on the personality types, and ENFPs in particular, but this book is hands-down my favorite ENFP resource out there as it is thorough, comprehensive, affordable and well-written. There are a lot of self-published books out there that make the inner-editor in many of us cringe, and this isn't one of those books. My hope is that all the types get a book as great as this one, as it is a valuable resource. Thanks, Heidi Priebe!

Full disclosure, I'm low key obsessed with this book. I have never felt so deeply understood by a piece of non-fiction. I'm a clinical psychologist and my ENFP patients love this book! Well, the ones over the age of 26, who have developed the follow-through skills to actually buy and read the book, as the book itself explains.The MBTI test is whatever (has racist backgrounds in its development) and is less relevant. What is actually useful is how the cognitive processes combine to form our idea generation and decision making processes. The book goes through why we get burned out and what to do about it. It's particularly exciting when she breaks the fourth wall and tells the reader what they are thinking while they read a paragraph, say on getting regular food and sleep. The book also helps people accept and celebrate their ENFP-ness rather than feeling shame for being too extra too often. Once you get to this point, you can start setting up your life to fit who and how you are actually are, rather than using society's scripts. Since Js (rather than Ps) are often the ones going around telling others what to do (we just sorta like to describe things from all the perspectives), most behavioral templates just don't work for us. We hate routine and habit building, and that's not the way we should engage with setting up our lives.I also love her INFP book (my husband's type) and it is also super validating against the shame INFPs often feel for struggling to find jobs/careers, for their introversion, and for their intense needs to connect with others emotionally and intellectually. I wish she would write a book about the other personality types!!!P.S. I've always meant to write her a fan letter/propose a collaboration of some sort. But that's my Ne running amok! Maybe she'll happen to read this comment randomly? :)
