The author investigates why we often struggle to understand and communicate with others, even when we speak the same language. He presents a model of four core personality types—Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue—and explains how each perceives the world, reacts, and behaves. With this framework, Erikson shows how to better understand yourself, recognize the types in others, and adapt your communication style to improve teamwork, leadership, relationships, and everyday interactions. The goal: reduce misunderstandings, handle conflict more effectively, and enhance collaboration and connection.
