Bücher der Reihe Finding Personal Truth

Are You Mind-First or Body-First? All truth starts in your mind and body. Together, they shape your every thought and deed. Yet for four hundred years, no one''s been able to tell us the true nature of these two "brains." Why does this matter? Because we function best when our mind and body are in sync. When they''re not, we become susceptible to everything from addictions and learning disabilities to relationship problems and child rearing dilemmas. Then there''s the thing about the two kinds of people-mind-first people and body-first people. Mind-first people process life first in their minds, as words; body-first people, as sensations in their bodies. Because minds think and process words more quickly than bodies, the world assumes mind-first people are smarter. Ironically, because body-first people process life more slowly, while they take longer to find their words, they generally process things more carefully and thoroughly. In this book, you''ll learn it''s your sense of time that creates your experience of a separate mind and body. And that knowing this opens a path to self-discovery.

How Well Do You Know Yourself? Have you ever taken a personality test? Has doing this ever changed your life? In this book, you''ll learn that of the 7 billion people on the planet, only 140 have a personality just like yours. You''ll also learn to see the five essential patterns which make you you-some of which you''ve probably seen as faults. In truth, most of what you thought were faults are actually "good things overdone."What''s behind these claims? A personality theory the likes of which the world has never seen. For one thing, every part of this theory connects to and resembles every other part-sort of like Russian nesting dolls and the fabled "onion of personality." Also, all the patterns in it are fractals-we''ve been treating personality as if it''s linear. Then there''s the new mathematics which can accurately measure even the messiness of human nature. Best of all, in this theory, no one gets blamed for their faults. Nor are they treated as broken or damaged. But we are responsible for knowing ourselves and to make the world a better place.
