Labeling Others

I once took a psychology course in college. While learning about various common disorders, I couldn't help but secretly label my friends and family.

Listening to Brian Basterfield's audiobook felt the same as that psychology class. I found myself looking around at my friends and family and identifying the masks they wear. My daughter is a chameleon. My brother-in-law wears the rebel mask. My father is an influencer.

The audiobook has real-world applications for the relationships we have in our lives.
