Jesus Christ, as in all things, is our ultimate example because he is the perfection of all four temperaments. By following Christ, we meet many saints along the way; saints who may have had the same weaknesses we face, or who endured similar trials in this life. Learning about the saints&rsquo; lives and how they used their temperaments to their advantage will orient us towards perfection in Christ.</p>\n<p>With vivid biographical anecdotes, Rosemary McGuire Berry will show you saints who have a similar temperament to yours, and through them, you will have the opportunity to learn how to master the strengths and weaknesses of your temperament. Each chapter focuses on one saint but also incorporates others related to that temperament. The chapters include a brief biography of the saint, a discussion on his temperament via examples from his life, reflections, and tips for specific temperaments.</p>\n<p>Some saints discussed here include:<br /><br /></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Paul: Choleric</li>\n<li>Teresa of &Aacute;vila: Sanguine-Choleric</li>\n<li>Thomas Aquinas: Phlegmatic-Melancholic</li>\n<li>Mary Magdalene: Sanguine-Melancholic</li>\n<li>Simon: Sanguine</li>\n</ul>\n<div class=\"embed-main\" style=\"display: none; margin: 20px auto; width: 100%; max-width: 700px;\">\n<script src=\"https://fast.wistia.com/embed/medias/xy5sgyu8bm.jsonp\" async=\"\"></script>\n<script src=\"https://fast.wistia.com/assets/external/E-v1.js\" async=\"\"></script>\n<div class=\"wistia_responsive_padding\" style=\"padding: 56.25% 0 0 0; position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"wistia_responsive_wrapper\" style=\"height: 100%; left: 0; position: absolute; top: 0; width: 100%;\"><span class=\"wistia_embed wistia_async_xy5sgyu8bm popover=true videoFoam=true\" style=\"display: inline-block; height: 100%; position: relative; width: 100%;\">&nbsp;</span></div>\n</div>\n</div>\n<p><em>Piety and Personality: The Temperaments of the Saints</em> shows you that even the weaknesses of your temperament can be perfected in Christ.

This book sheds light on the lives of the saints, offering profound insights into our own souls. As a father of sixteen and a CEO, I have witnessed the transformative power of understanding these temperaments. They are the divine molds given by God, steering us toward saintly virtues. Looking to the saints as role models is one thing; closely imitating those who share your temperament is another. This work is a beacon, revealing the sacred harmony between the temperaments and sanctity&mdash;just as God intended.&rdquo;</em><br />&mdash; <strong>Conor Gallagher</strong><br />CEO of TAN Books<br />Founder &amp; Visionary of Well-Ordered Family&trade;</p>\n<p><em>&ldquo;<em>Piety and Personality</em> is a well-thought-out book. In sanctifying our souls and seeking examples, &lsquo;we must know ourselves&rsquo; and what better way than to follow the saints in their example and wisdom. We do not need to reinvent the wheel. Rosemary has inserted in her writing witty humor, important examples, and down to earth experience. This book will be a great help to all readers seeking to expel ignorance of their souls and the obstacles of &lsquo;growing&rsquo; wise.&rdquo;</em><br />&mdash; <strong>Fr. Trevor Burfitt</strong></p>\n<p><em>&ldquo;Growing in holiness can be tricky; it starts by knowing ourselves. However, our innate temperaments can sometimes seem like obstacles . . . but do they have to be? As a Catholic therapist, understanding how God made us, our innate tendencies, and the role of His grace in perfecting us are topics near and dear to my heart. Capitalizing on our strengths while tempering our weaknesses is the key to perfection. This book by Rosemary McGuire Berry was such a delightful read. Her insightful work unmasking the temperaments of the saints should give us all the hope of knowing God gave us our temperaments for a reason and the hope that by understanding and working with them, we too can become saints.&rdquo;</em><br />&mdash; <strong>Allison Ricciardi, LMHC</strong><br />Founder and President<br /><a href=\"https://CatholicTherapists.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CatholicTherapists.com</a><br /><a href=\"https://CatholicLifeCoaches.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CatholicLifeCoaches.com</a></p>\n<p><em>&ldquo;This work beautifully blends deep spiritual insights with practical application, guiding readers to discover how the unique qualities of the saints can enrich our daily lives and spiritual journeys.

A must-read for anyone seeking to deepen their Faith and cultivate virtue through the wisdom of the saints!&rdquo;</em><br />&mdash; <strong>Patti Schultz, Ed.D</strong></p>\n<p><em>&ldquo;With wisdom and warmth, Rosemary Berry invites us to see our children&rsquo;s temperaments as opportunities to grow in holiness.&rdquo;</em><br />&mdash; <strong>Sarah Mackenzie</strong>, founder of Read-Aloud Revival&reg;<br />and author of <em>The Read-Aloud Family</em></p>\n<p><em>&ldquo;<em>Piety and Personality: The Temperaments of the Saints</em> accurately overlays the four temperaments to help you gain a deep understanding of the personalities of some of our favorite saints. Through wonderful storytelling, this study of temperaments helps us have empathy for others and ourselves, following the command of Jesus to love one another as we love ourselves. I was struck by the author's friendship with the saints. She writes of them as people she knows, not abstract characters from history. This helps to bring them to life for the reader, so we can learn from their examples and gain from their intercession.&rdquo;</em><br />&mdash; <strong>Nancy Kennedy, BSN, MA, LPC</strong></p>\n<style>\n.embed-container{\nclear:both;\nmargin: 0 auto;\npadding: 0 20px;\n}\n.embed-container .columns{\ndisplay: inline-block;\nwidth: 48%;\n}\n.embed-container .columns .embed-main{\npadding: 10px;\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {\n.embed-container .columns{\ndisplay: block !important;\nwidth: 100%;\ntext-align: center;\n}\n}\n</style>\n<div class=\"row embed-container\">\n<div class=\"columns medium-6\">\n<div class=\"embed-main\">\n<script src=\"https://fast.wistia.com/embed/medias/z7jskd0jbq.jsonp\" async=\"\"></script>\n<script src=\"https://fast.wistia.com/assets/external/E-v1.js\" async=\"\"></script>\n<div class=\"wistia_responsive_padding\" style=\"padding: 56.25% 0 0 0;

I knew very little about them going into this book and by the end I had learned so much. \r\n\r\nI really appreciated how Berry elaborated on the definition of each temperament: melancholic, choleric, phlegmatic, and sanguine. I also liked that she recommended how to search for an online quiz to help determine the reader’s temperament so that more could be understood from each of the saintly examples. \r\n\r\nWhat wonderful saintly examples and what encouragement when I realized the traits I have are not necessarily the negative I previously thought them to be. Each trait, applied correctly, can help us and those around us as we strive for Heaven. And what a blessing those who are different from me are. I could see how they help balance out some of my traits.\r\n\r\nI highly recommend reading this book to not only learn about the personality traits, but also about these great saints and how their traits helped and even hindered them.\r\n\r\nThank you to Tan Books for the copy of this book.

The idea is based on the various combination of 2 personality concepts - the speed of the reaction to an impression, and the duration of the impression. For those seeking to increase in understanding and charity, as well as honest humility and self-awareness, I might say there is no better concept offered to us at the natural level - especially if you are raising children! (Might I say teenagers in particular!) Unfortunately, it is not well known in this day and age, as the sources available to the average reader are brief and dry at best. The author does a fine job of overcoming this limitation with detailed examples and anecdotes presented in an easy to read and entertaining format. Be warned - while the temperaments are easy to understand in principle, it is easy to misuse them as a means of categorizing people and judging them. In this regard, I commend the author for her detailed and well researched examples - the saints are the best examples of natural inclinations used for the service of God while overcoming a corresponding weakness, as by the grace of God they increase in virtue. Due to the subjective nature of personal observation, and their own temperament, the reader may not always agree with the conclusions of the author in various particulars, but I highly recommend the book to any person looking to live a sincere live of humility and charity. Read it and know the saints better...read it and know yourself better!
