About this ebook

Every Pot Has a Cover intends to help individuals achieve the insight needed to find and keep a suitable life partner. There is finally solid research that indicates why some marriages are successful and others are not—the key is compatibility. A successful marriage demands a commitment to understanding one's own unique personality profile and realizing that while opposites have certain attractions, life mates should share many similarities. This book explains current research and enables readers to assess levels of personality compatibility. For over 20 years, Dr. Michael J. Salamon has worked as a clinician and researcher whose primary interests have been personality relationships and life-satisfaction. As a result, this book focuses mainly on the following areas; an understanding of personality traits, attributes and disorders and how they impact relationships, a test to measure personality compatibility, and how to strengthen a relationship once there is compatibility.

Ratings and reviews

This author claims a vast fund of knowledge in all areas of psychology which he clearly does not have. The book reads as a self-serving treatise that basically conveys no information to the reader.

Quite frankly this book is a necessary treatise on relationships. The author clearly knows his information and conveys that information quite well. I will continue recommending this book to my family and friends, and I have no doubt that once you read this book, you will too.

Perhaps the best book on the topic I have ever read. Concise, clear and easily understandable. I think the author is brilliant.
