This has been the most amazing and impactful book I have ever read! It certainly takes self-help to a whole new level and really makes you face your problems and convictions head on! It wasn't easy but man is it effective when you finally get through all the exercises!!!
Now that I've given you my personal take on it, let me tell you a bit about this book itself:
Albert Garoli, in his original new book, The Evolutionary Glitch, identifies the problem-causing patterns that negatively impact our lives. From the way we learned and absorbed information and social rules throughout our upbringing, to the attitudes we have in life, the truth about where we went wrong is clearly laid out. Garoli goes one step further by identifying six major neural structures in our brains we would have adopted through this social conditioning and clearly explains why our thought processes may be working against us.
When we no longer pay attention to our subconscious processes, emotional and psychological problems, social conflicts, personal limitations, and other such dilemmas arise. When we look around at the people, communities, and nations around us, we often find various forms of depression, frustration, poverty, sickness, and general imbalance. This is the result of the “evolutionary glitch” embedded in human neural networks.
Once the reality of our flaws is laid out in front of us, a comprehensible step-by-step process on getting over the dilemmas we create is provided. Find success, achievement, and true happiness within your self when you learn to resonate with your natural being and concentrating on the most essential things in life. As Garoli says, “tearing our focus away from what is most important in life obstructs the process of becoming something great.”

Human subconscious processes operate and react in resonance and in relation to a physiological way that is hindered by an “evolutionary glitch” of our cortex, the same error against which our forefathers had been warned.
Have you ever wondered why your life has followed a particular path? Perhaps life has thrown some ‘curve balls’ your way and you are not where you thought/hoped you would be twenty years ago. Did your dreams change? Did your career goals change? Perhaps your present state of being is created some health issues. Perhaps you are feeling overly tired for no apparent reason. Perhaps you have found yourself in an unsatisfactory situation and you lack the motivation to overcome this situation or to improve your sense of well-being. This is what is termed the “evolutionary glitch”. It is what Dr. Garoli defines as the persona, the relatively unknown and slightly misunderstood superimposed identity deep within an individual’s brain.
Dr. Garoli has spent fifteen years researching the persona. Combining the science of neurobiology and quantum physics with ancient wisdom (including Oriental philosophies and science), Dr. Garoli has identified six major types of personae: the Ephemeral/Sanguine Persona, the Grinding/Lymphatic Persona, the Controlling/Nervous Persona, the Egocentric/ Melancholic Persona, the Rebellious/Bilious Persona and the Minimalist/Phlegmatic Persona. In his book, The Evolutionary Glitch, Dr. Garoli challenges each of us to study these personae and to identify which persona is applicable to our personal situation. He challenges us to be complete honest in our assessment so that we can challenge this persona which has taken over our lives. Throughout his book, Dr. Garoli assures us that identifying and confronting our persona will lead us to a better life, a healthier, more successful and more meaningful life.
Dr. Garoli has studied, researched and practiced both traditional and ancient Oriental neurological medicine. Lately, the focus of his research has been entirely based on a mixture of medicine, philosophy and information sciences. Dr. Garoli regularly gives seminars and presentations on his research findings.
In spite of the fact that Dr. Garoli’s book, The Evolutionary Glitch, is founded in years of academic and clinical research, the book is both concise in its presentation of information and understandable to the non-science minded reader. As a self-help book, The Evolutionary Glitch, is recommended by award-winning author and Allbooks reviewer, Emily-Jane Hills Orford, Allbooks Reviews.

The Evolutionary Glitch: Rise Above The Root of Your Problems is a self-improvement guide in transcending yourself.
Each of us takes in the world around us and incorporates the projections into their own personalities. Everything we see, touch, feel etc. becomes a part of our inner "programming". Some of the occurrences bring about positive character traits and some are "glitches" that occur when we've integrated something into our lives that holds us back from our true potential.
This book brings to light the six major Personae types you may have unknowlingly acquired over your lifetime. The Personae likes to create problems and it has no problem thinking for you, learning for you but it's not really the real YOU!!
This concise but easy to read book will teach you how to free yourself from the hold that the Personae has over you. It starts out with a visualization of you being an archer, a bow and an arrow. The many exercises found within are to keep you focused and on track. With practice you will begin to observe the changes within and all around you. You will come to realize the different Personae types that are in people you associate with and you will gain the insight to take back the control from your domineering self.
This was a very interesting read even though at times it was a little lacklustre, it seemed to drag every once in a while however, it did not depreciate the value of the words written. The Personae explanations were adequately communicated and quite fascinating. I'm still trying to figure myself out though...I think I may be an eccentric...my grandmother would agree with that analysis anyhow...LOL
I think for a self-help/improvement empowerment book, you really cannot go wrong. There are groovy historical facts strewn throughout the pages and a picture every once in a while. The quotes and proverbs located in the book are the kind that allow you to reflect on their wisdom and find some guidance.
"Vision without action is a daydream.
Action without vision is a nightmare."

“The Evoluntary Glitch: Rise Above the Root of Your Problems” by Dr. Albert Garoli is a self-help book to help you learn how to stop the negative patterns and how to find the real you. Dr. Garoli has an extensive background including practicing and teaching of Traditional Chinese and Oriental Medicines, Ayurvedic medicine, Acupuncture, Biophysics and more. From his extensive research in biological learning models, Dr. Garoli believes that many of our behavioral issues can be traced back to an evolutionary glitch that allows traumas in our lives to manifest in a Persona that actually is harmful. According to Dr. Garoli, “rejection causes compromise, which leads to the development of a Persona.” His book, “The Evolutionary Glitch,” helps the reader to identify their particular Persona and gives them exercises that will help purge the Persona and allow the person to live a fuller and happier life.
Through Dr. Garoli’s writings, it is clear that he definitely knows what he is talking about. Some of the areas he covers are:
It All Stems from Your Attitude
How We Become What We Are Not
The Brain Trap
Coping Strategies
Mind-Opening Exercises
This is not a book that is meant to be read front to back in one sitting. I tried that when I first started reading and it soon became overwhelming. Taking it a chapter at a time really helped. I definitely found Dr. Garoli’s research interesting and I liked how he presented his information, starting with the first chapter where he describes your “stance,” which is basically figuring out where you are in life regarding your where you live, what activities you participate in, your family and friend relationships, your employment, and your home and community. I don’t know if this book was what I was hoping it would be. It did seem overwhelming at times and does require a leap of faith. I have no doubt that those who follow this will end up feeling different about themselves, most likely feeling better. Perhaps I will go back to it in the future and give it another go.

Wow! I can't believe I'm not the first to comment on this book as it's such a rare find! Nonetheless, I certainly give this book two thumbs up! It's profound, insightful and provoking. Albert Garoli says it like it is and doesn't give it to you easy but I think that's what I really needed to get me to take a good look at myself and make some conscious changes in my life. However, The Evolutionary Glitch should not be considered like a mere book but rather and indispensable tool in life!
