Unraveling Human Nature (How well do you know yourself?)

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.
