Cindy's Story

"I fell in madly in love with Ted on our first date. He was the smartest, handsomest guy I'd ever met. We dated exclusively for two years and then one winter, I traveled to India for three months, to become enlightened, and when I returned I got the biggest shock of my life: Ted had fallen in love with Jenny, my very, very best friend. I suffered immensely for a year and then noticed your book on a friend's coffee table. It saved my sanity, lead me to really remember all the over-the-top narcissistic things Ted had said and done, the outrageously self-absorbed behaviors I ignored. All 30 Taker-traits in your book describe him hugely—and the Giver-traits describe me! Knowing the profiles makes me feel confident about identifying the two types of people as they pass through my life."
