The Comprehensive ENFP Survival Guide

Right - true to ENFP style - I haven't read all of this book yet but my enjoyment of what I have digested so far makes me want to write a positive review right now. I have been a Myers Briggs enthusiast for years and while I already knew much of what is written this did enhance my understanding - particularly of the Cognitive Core - considerably. Years of wondering why I did not completely click with my ENFJ friends despite sharing so many functions, I now understand. Introverted Feeling is a significantly enough different beast to the extraverted version to have impact. etc etc A great AHA moment! There is material in this book that would interest other types - but of course it is ultimately aimed at us ENFPs.I'd also like to add that reading the life stages of an ENFP as they develop their functions rang so true; it was reading my life story. There is pleasure and disgruntlement(!) simultaneously in discovering how insightful Myers Briggs is. I was initially won over by Myers Briggs years ago when it made clear to me why I was a social misfit but reading other ENFPs' words about their own experiences was - well - uplifting.This is a wonderful book for ENFPs and anyone lucky enough to have one in their life!

Wow this book is amazing. The fact that I got emotional just reading the foreword was fantastic. It’s gritty and it’s real. It will speak to you if you are ENFP or if not, give you an insight to the more curious personality type. It’s written in a conversational style, by an ENFP. The author knows you. There is no escaping. There is no skipping bits that seem boring, as you will be told not to do it ... just as the temptation occurs. It’s empowering! A must have.

As an ENFP this was a nice insight into how my mind functions. Well written and entertaining. Although I - and I'm sure all enfps who read this will as well - already know a lot of the stuff mentioned in this book, some things I never consciously notice. And it's a nice reminder for how others see us. Obviously no two people are the same, but the broad brush strokes are relatable.

If you're an ENFP this will change your life. It will tell you that the chaos in your head makes sense and why, and it will also make you understand that that chaos is a gift to this world.It allowed me to understand every situation, every relationship I've ever been through, and why I reacted the way I did. It made me see why certain experiences almost killed me and why they made me stronger.Note of warning: be ready to laugh and cry unexpectedly, but let's be honest, you already are: you're an ENFP!I couldn't promote this book more if they paid me. Every single ENFP I meet will hear about this book (short of having it shoved down their throats haha)Note for INTJs: you want to understand your ENFP partner? Look no further. This goes REALLY in depth, so be sure you're ready for it. Oh, and please, don't get stuck on the social butterfly elements in there. Make sure you see them as part of the bigger picture, and use them to understand if your ENFP is ready for the fantastic relationship they could have with you.

This is the first review I've ever written for anything because normally I'm not that bothered. If you're an ENFP that wants to understand how you operate, how you think and how you feel, good or bad then this is the book for you.As an ENFP I lost touch with who I was, there's a great chapter explaining how as ENFP's we can lose sense of who we are and what we're about if we don't spend time digesting our emotions. I have ended up with shadow functions i.e using my Introverted Sensing as my dominant function which has caused deep unhappiness in my life. I never really understood why I felt the way I did or what led me to feel this way but this book has she'd so much light on what I am currently feeling and why. It has also given me ways to take back control.Honestly as an ENFP my thirst for knowledge is endless, I have read many brilliant and interesting books but for me this is probably the most eye opening of them all. If you're an ENFP BUY THIS BOOK.

I too am ENFP. I loved this book. So helpful, useful, life-affirming ... enables me to see why some things have happened in my life as they did, and to be more intentional about the future. Thank-you Heidi. Peter

I'm an ENFP. This book has been great for me - really helpful to read about my type and get some perspective on why I am the way that I am, why I react in the ways that I do in work and relationships, why some things are awesome and others awful - and they're such different things from those other types find awful and awesome! Overall it's been a massive encouragement to be courageous in making decisions and to follow my gut rather than how others / society thinks I should live.

If you are an ENFP then this book is a must! Everything makes a lot of sense now!

I've been following Heidi Priebe and her work on type, particularly for ENFP's. I even purchased her online ENFP soul bootcamp (self-paced online product) which is the most comprehensive offering I've ever experienced for understanding the maddening eccentricities of ENFP's. And I STILL took lots from this book even after going through that comprehensive online bootcamp. I highly recommend anything type related that this author puts out.

Excellent book for ENFP’s or if you want a deeper understanding of an ENFP

As I have just discovered my type at 38, it was very fun to see how so many things in my life comes from my personnality type.It's a very cheerful book, very ENFP like as there are deep food for thoughts brought up in a very light hearted way. I really enjoyed it.

- Buch kam unverpackt und hatte ganz leichte Gebrauchsspuren obwohl es eigentlich neuwertig sein sollte.+ Liebe ENFP Menschen, ich kann euch das Buch nur unglaublich ans Herz legen. Aber auch Eltern oder Partnern von ENFPs (gibt sogar eigene Kapitel für die), um Dinge nachvollziehen und verstehen zu können.Es ist sehr anschaulich geschrieben und enthält soviel selbstoffenbarendes, dass man es nicht mehr aus der Hand legen möchte bis es zu Ende ist. Mit meiner MBTI Persönlichkeit an sich, hatte ich mich eigentlich immer nur sporadisch beschäftigt , weil es lustig war. Dann tauchte aber nach Monaten plötzlich ein YouTube Video der Autorin auf und ich fand mich zu 100% darin wieder. Ich war zu dem Zeitpunkt gerade in einer ziemlichen Selbsthass Phase weil ich zum wiederholten Mal durch eine wichtige( schriftliche, reine ‚auswendiglernen‘) Prüfung mit Fächern die ich nicht mochte, geflogen bin. Abends lang ich dann unheimlich frustriert im Bett, weil ich das Gefühl hatte, alle im Studium würden an mir vorbei ziehen obwohl ich was praktische Sachen, Lebenserfahrungen zB durchs viele Reisen, freiwillige Praktika und ausprobierten Hobbys oft mehr mitbrachte als andere Kommilitonen. In dieser Zeit hab ich mir das Buch geholt.Gerade wenn man sich selbst ein bisschen verliert, ist es Gold wert. Wir ENFPs denken in ganz anderen Tiefen und fantasievolleren Weisen. Aufregendes, Spaß und Anschauliches sind die Dinge, die uns voller Enthusiasmus lernen und uns Sachen merken lassen. Zwanghaftes lernen in einen unanschaulichen Konstrukt können uns runterziehen. Zudem benötigen wir oft Zuspruch und Feedback von Menschen um uns herum und sind nicht gerne einfach Matrikelnummern, für die sich kein Schwein interessiert. Das ist jetzt eine etwas persönlichere Rezension geworden, was ich damit nur sagen will, ist, dass viele Dinge die euch gerade im Leben beschäftigen Ursprünge und Beweggründe haben. Man findet sich vom ersten Moment an in den Seiten wieder und auch wenn man im Kern viele über sich selbst weis, ist es unfassbar wie gut es sich anfühlt, alles präzise und verständlich zusammengefasst zu haben. ENFPs fühlen sich manchmal unverstanden (vorallem emotional) von nachstehenden Personen. Wenn man einen Anker brauch, dann dieses Buch.

This book helped me out with my wild personality, since it made me recognize all my unhealty behaviours and made me more concious about my actions and way of thinking.Thank you to the author for this ENFP survival guide! :D
