The 5 Personality Patterns

Your Guide to Understanding Yourself and Others and Developing Emotional Maturity

By: Steven Kessler

Narrated by: Steven Kessler

How well do you know yourself, really?

Do you know

• why you react emotionally the way you do?
• why you think and behave the way you do?
• what is really running your life?
  

This book will open your eyes to your own inner world like nothing else has.

In reality, most of your suffering is not necessary. It's created by old safety strategies that helped you survive your childhood, but then got stuck in your body and covered up your true self. Today, they're an invisible prison, shaping your world, your relationships, and even who you think you are.

Have you begun to figure out that something deeper than your conscious awareness is shaping your life? Deciding where your attention goes and what you think and feel? How you make decisions? Even who you love? Here is a map to that inner terrain - a simple, clear, true-to-life map that gives you the key to understanding everyone, including yourself. If you like the Enneagram, the MBTI, or any other inner map, you'll love this book.

This book can change your life. It's already changed the lives of many others. Get yours, and discover how you got stuck - and how you can get free.

Easy to understand

As a graduate of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing I am familiar with the patterns. From this book I feel I got an even better understanding and personal connection with the material.

Wish I read this sooner

I have studied personality traits in my personal and professional life for many years and I am so happy to have finally found this book. I have found this book to be so helpful in understanding my own and others' patterns so much quicker thanks to this book. This means I can be more flexible when I am communicating with them. I am also more willing to share my emotions and needs based on my pattern. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand themselves better and start to make big changes in their relationships. Make sure to speed up the playback speed to about 1.25 to improve the narration experience. I also recommend the physical book if you can get a copy, so great to listen and then go back to refer to the book for deeper study.

Inspirational read and mind blowing

I did not know what to expect, but from the start it was captivating. I wanted to find out more about the 5 patterns and how they can help me and those around me. The book was a great journey of self-discovery.

Great book , insightful.

I've learned a new way of thinking about life and the people around me. In depth explanations and examples to help clarify.3RD time listening.

Absolutely outstanding! Please please read!

This needs to become curriculum for high school students!
If we knew our patterns at this age we’d be headed for the moon by our twenties!
Change the World!
Thank you Steven Kessler

Overview of characterological defenses

This is by far the best overview of characterological defenses I have encountered in my professional life. An absolutely valuable resource for Bioenergetics and Core Energetics practitioners and any mental health and/or wellness modality based in these defenses.

A must- read/ listen book

Listen to that book if you want to understand yourself and others so you can experience your best possible life

Start with this self-discovery book!

This is a fantastic resource, not some magic bullet but the beginning of a journey. The information presented is the most helpful I have read for understanding self and how and why we interact with the world. So much of our personality is shaped by childhood traumas. This book is heavy and eye opening for exploration of self and why our lives are full of suffering. It provides analyses for understanding and practices for healing. This is not a book you read once and set down, rather is is a resource that you will need to return to. Think of it as a window into deeper self exploration and healing. The book and additional resources provided in it allow you to climb through that window and start to heal.

The content was great!

The content was so spot on. It doesn’t work in audiobook form because the material is so complex. The gifts and the challenges work, however, I found myself wanting to diagram it out to better understand all the interactions. I intent to keep working with the material online and/or on my Kindle.

Fairies????

I was hooked until he got to commune with fairies and pixies. Don’t waste your credits on this book.
