Hi Franklin

If the model that you authenticate against is the Person model, then you 
should be able to get away with

public function index() {
    $this->set('people', $this->Auth->user();
}

Since Auth->user() should return the whole model.  Though you might want to 
double check with a bit of debug (DebugKit, or 
CakeLog::debug($this->Auth->user()) or 
errorLog(print_r($this->Auth->user(), true));

Alternatively, there's:

public function index() {
   $person = $this->Person->read(null, $this->Auth->user('id'));
   $this->set('people', $person);
}

Once small niggle on readability.  Setting 'people' implies that there are 
might be multiple people in the variable.  If there's only ever going to be 
the one person, I would set('person') instead (i.e. 
$this->set(compact('person'));) , or put the $person into an array, so you 
can have a foreach in your index (i.e. $this->set('people', 
array($person)); )
