'The Four Tendencies' by Gretchen Rubin. It's about personality types. I didn't really find myself fitting neatly into any category, but it helped me to understand myself and others better and to take advantage of the "questioner" approach to life more.

In the system, there are four types and also mixes of two types. My husband is a questioner and is often unswayed by social norms or "what will people think/feel about him". I tend to be a bit more of the obliger or upholder personality type, worrying about what people will think or feel about me. If they're right, if I'm wrong, even when there's ample evidence to the contrary. Or if it's just one of those subjective things you can't really judge, if find myself swayed by others subjective preferences, moods and expectations, even when it's harmful and pointless to be swayed by them. So this book has helped me step outside the comparison/judgment box. It's given me other insights too.
