“6 Moods is a big idea, beautifully made. First of all, in a time of Kindle it is lovely to encounter a book so elegantly printed and bound. But the idea is so much bigger than its bindings. For those who have always found Myers-Briggs a bit weird and inhumane then this is the antidote. 6 Moods is a way of engaging people in six useful, memorable and most of all humane ways. The book is full of examples and applications (e.g the cast of Friends as an example of each of the 6 moods) this is the human classification system you have been looking for.”

“I normally stay away from these kinds of books, as most of them peddle pop psychology and quick fixes on how to be happy. When a friend gave me this book to read I was sceptical at first, but when I started reading it I couldn’t stop. Incredibly well structured and beautifully written, the book takes the concept of “interactive reading” to its utmost limit. You don’t just read this book, you experience it, you are drawn into it and you engage with it. The authors have peppered the book with concrete examples we can all relate to, pictures, graphs, and diagrams of all shapes and sizes which translate the written words into neat frameworks and concepts which are easy to remember and therefore easy to apply to our everyday lives. The more you read, the more you think about the people around you and the more you understand why they behave the way they do and how you can be your best self with them. Very thought provoking. An excellent read – highly recommend”

“The best personality type methodology out there, coupled with a concrete toolkit for practical application. 6 Moods provides you with a complete kit that takes you from understanding different personality types, their communication preferences, and how best to deal with them in different situations. What is unique to the methodology is a focus on these 6 Moods which we all experience (albeit at different levels of comfort based on our personality/preferences) and how to consciously move or move others between them. The author, Fred Pelard, is a business strategy coach and he has always coupled his strategy tools with their application for diverse teams and the necessary communication skills. I used the methodology to great effect in my time as a manager in Deloitte Consulting. A decade on, I find it indispensable for difficult negotiations in M&A and Sales in my current role as Managing Director in software”
