New Book Helps Readers Understand and Improve Their Life Stories
Gainesville, FL (PRWEB) May 15, 2007 -- Shakespeare called people actors on a stage, and an old television series claimed "there are eight million stories in the naked city."
Each person's life is a unique story filled with distinctive characters, roles, patterns, and plots. Sometimes those characters live the same, unpleasant story over and over, or run into blind spots. Fortunately, anyone can rewrite their life story to feature more versatile, stronger characters and happier plots.
Now there is a book available that guides its readers to discover the hidden scripts and characters, also known as archetypes, that they've been living - and to consciously change them. What Story Are You Living?, written by Drs. Carol Pearson and Hugh Marr, adds a healthy dose of scientific credibility to the field of self-understanding and self-improvement.
The book is unique for its inclusion of the Pearson-Marr Archetype Indicator®, a scientifically validated instrument that reveals the dominant archetypal themes in the life story of the person who completes it. The workbook sections in What Story? help readers recognize the stories they've been living and explore and develop new scripts, characters, strategies, and opportunities. Such guidance can be invaluable in finding a more satisfying career, working on a long-term relationship, experiencing a new adventure, or simply making sense of life.
"Understanding your archetypes is like a map to your own buried treasure," claims best-selling author Carol S. Pearson, Ph.D. Pearson is a world-renowned archetype theorist and the author of many widely read personal growth books, including The Hero Within. Coauthor Hugh K. Marr, Ph.D., is a Jungian psychologist who practices and consults in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area.
What Story Are You Living? is available from the publisher, the Center for Applications of Psychological Type (CAPT®) and from select online and retail outlets. CAPT also publishes the Pearson-Marr Archetype Indicator® assessment, available in print or online.
