Johnson, author of Character Styles and Characterological TransformationMuch of our human suffering is not necessary. It is created by old safety strategies that helped us survive our childhood traumas, but then got stuck in our bodies. Reinforced by the power of habit, they continue to shape our actions and personality even today. They have become an invisible prison. We live our lives trapped in that prison, repeating the same mistakes over and over again.As we attempt to understand the psychology of success and become successful ourselves, studying the habits of successful people is not enough. To create real self transformation, we must dissolve the obstacles to success buried within us. To reclaim our power and regain control of our lives, we must uncover the old safety strategies and patterns that still run our lives so that we can heal and transform them.Often, these patterns have shaped us so deeply that we think that’s who we are. But in fact, they cover up our true self and prevent it from shining out into the world. Finally, we have a map of these patterns, a map that will help Discover how you got stuck and how to get free Heal your core wounds Learn the skills you missed Communicate effectively with others Develop emotional maturityMany readers seeking self improvement have discovered that this map of personality is even more helpful to them than the Enneagram and Myers-Briggs personality types, because those maps focus on the surface of the body, on your behaviors, while this map starts with the core of the body and how the flow of your life energy got distorted. And that distortion of the flow of life energy through the body is at the root of much of the suffering and conflict we experience in interpersonal relationships. Understanding those differences will dramatically increase your empathy, compassion, and people skills. Understanding how to bridge those differences will dramatically increase your interpersonal communication skills.Whether you're working in the field of counseling and psychology, on your own spiritual path, or simply interested in personal growth and development, you will find much in The 5 Personality Patterns series that clears your vision and shows you the path forward. As you explore the origins of each pattern, you will discover the roots of bullying, needing to win, needing to control others, needing to be right, codependency, low self esteem, depression, procrastination, self-sabotage, feeling scared and overwhelmed, and many other automatic or compulsive behaviors.Many readers have been struck by how clearly these books describe what they see around them in real life. In the reviews, some remark on how vividly they see themselves, others on how they finally understand a friend or family member. Many find they can use their discoveries immediately to get better results in their lives, whether they're applying them in business, leadership, healing, or personal life.As it lays out the 5 personality patterns map, this series shows you the path out of your suffering and back to your true self.
