Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Person to Person
Sharon L. Hanna · 2003
64/100
👎 Skip It
A solid multi-edition Pearson textbook that earns its place in freshman human-relations courses, with a practical strengths-based approach that has kept it in print across several editions. But this is a textbook, not a self-help read — and the 2003 edition is now superseded by a newer one. If you need it for a course, it works; if you're browsing for personal growth reading, there are more engaging options.
