The jacket cover says, “This book is intended to help you understand your neighbor and yourself.” The book has the sanction of Dr. Jung,
who, it is said, was the “first to apply to types of temperament” the terms introvert and extravert. The author is in something of a pet because these words have been used carelessly.
It is a volume written for the lay reader and as such is informative. The experienced psychiatrist will not find it worthwhile to go through this whole volume for the occasional little variations of viewpoint found in many such works. There is a suggested reading list at the end of about 25 items. The list is a little curious—here goes—Bacon, Bellaman, Pearl Buck, Eve Curie, Emily Dickinson, Keyserling, H. D. Ellis, Hagedorn, Gail Hamilton, Jung, Kretschmer, E. L. Masters, J. C. Powys, Rank, Rilke, E. A. Robinson, Santayana, Shakespeare, Wells. This reviewer was unhappy when he did not see the name of Lewis Carroll.
