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.

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.

Why Are Breakthroughs So Rare? Everything scientists do is intended to lead to discoveries. No coincidence, we reward scientists who make meaningful discoveries with things like the Nobel Prize. Clearly, discoveries are the universal holy grail of science. Yet strangely, close to 100% of scientific efforts fail to discover anything. Why? And why does no one ever mention this? This is not to say scientists discover nothing, let alone nothing meaningful. Every life on this planet is better because of science's advancements. Moreover, scientists themselves are some of the brightest, most amazing people. So how do we explain their close to perfect record of failures? In part, this book will explore this mystery-why the current scientific method so rarely succeeds. This book will claim the problem lies not with scientists but rather, with their method. But what if scientists had a method which enabled them to make discoveries every time out? In the opening chapters, this book will describe what such a method would need to be like. We'll then test this method on everything from sleep problems and weight loss issues to the nature of deafness, cancer, meditation, and learning the times tables.Can we possibly discover anything new? Prepare to be amazed.

Have you ever taken a personality test? Has doing this ever changed your life? In this book, you'll learn how to use a series of simple personality tests to permanently change your life. These tests enable you to describe with just five words the part of you which is measurably unique. Indeed, of the seven billion people on the planet, there are only 120 just like you. Thus once you know these five words, you'll have the power to predict much of what you'll think, feel, say, and do. You'll also learn where this power comes from-from a personality theory the likes of which the world has never seen. For one thing, it's fractal. Thus like the fabled onion of personality and the Russian nesting dolls, everything in it connects to and resembles everything else. For another, it uses everyday language. So you won't need to spend years painfully ingesting-and trying to understand-mountains of psychobabble and statistical fecal matter. Best of all though, in it, no one is blamed or broken or evil or worthless. We're all just human, each doing our best to find our own truth.
