I was genuinely curious about behavioural psychology, communication patterns, and understanding why people tick. So, this book felt like a good next read. The opening chapters had me nodding along, and I thought, okay, this might actually be useful. The four-coloured framework is easy to grasp, approachable, and honestly kind of fun at first. I was already mentally sorting people into colours before I hit the 20% mark.
And then, it just kept doing the same thing. Over and over again. The book started retreading ground it had already covered, dressing up familiar ideas in slightly different packaging and calling it insight. If you've ever read anything adjacent to Myers-Briggs, DISC profiling, or any pop-psychology communication book from the last two decades, you've met these ideas before, just wearing a different outfit. There was nothing here that felt genuinely new, and the framework, charming at first, started to feel reductive the longer it went on. People are complicated. Four colours felt less like revelation and less like a tool, and more like a party trick.
