We do it virtually every day. For the typical American, it is as natural as breathing and eating. We refer, of course, to driving. Yet, we may wonder what influences us to behave the way we do when we get into a hundred cubic foot compartment mounted on a steel chassis. Why do we act the way we do when getting behind the wheel? Driving is telling! Your Personality Drives You is not simply about road rage. Rather, it is a unique approach to recognizing the true personality that predictably drives us while behind the wheel. In the researched pages of his book, Dr. Jankowski introduces us to ourselves by identifying eight personality patterns and relating them to our own distinct driving styles. The data for Your Personality Drives You is derived from more than four hundred independent surveys compiled across all age groups. Its ten chapters focus on eight personality styles in defining and unmasking our driving behavior. People are normally drawn to self-help books for discovery. This book will hopefully provide that "aha" moment by identifying the personality style that drives you on the road. The stage is set, and you are invited to come along for the ride. Discover within the following chapters how "your personality drives you."

Gary Trosclair explores the power of the driven personality and the positive outcomes those with obsessive compulsive personality disorder can achieve through a mindful program of harnessing the skills that can work, and altering those that serve no one. If you were born with a compulsive personality you may become rigid, controlling, and self-righteous. But you also may become productive, energetic, and conscientious. Same disposition, but very different ways of expressing it. What determines the difference? Some of the most successful and happy people in the world are compelled by powerful inner urges that are almost impossible to resist. They’re compulsive. They’re driven. But some people with a driven personality feel compelled by shame or insecurity to use their compulsive energy to prove their worth, and they lose control of the wheel of their own life. They become inflexible and critical perfectionists who need to wield control, and they lose the point of everything they do in the process. A healthy compulsive is one whose energy and talents for achievement are used consciously in the service of passion, love and purpose. An unhealthy compulsive is one whose energy and talents for achievement have been hijacked by fear and its henchman, anger. Both are driven: one by meaning, the other by dread. The Healthy Compulsive: Healing Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder and Taking the Wheel of the Driven Personality, will serve as the ultimate user’s guide for those with a driven personality, including those who have slid into obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). Unlike OCD, which results in specific symptoms such as repetitive hand-washing and intrusive thoughts, OCPD permeates the entire personality and dramatically affects relationships. It also requires a different approach to healing. Both scientifically informed and practical, The Healthy Compulsive describes how compulsives get off track and outlines a four-step program to help them consciously cultivate the talents and passions that are the truly compelling sources of the driven personality. Drawing from his 25 years of clinical experience as a psychotherapist and Jungian psychoanalyst, and his own personal experience as someone with a driven personality, Trosclair offers understanding, inspiring stories of change, and hope to compulsives and their partners about how to move to the healthy end of the compulsive spectrum.

Is there a connection between personality, the human energy system, chakras, and wellness? In this uniquely informative work, medical intuitive Carol Ritberger, Ph.D., explores that premise in depth and presents a compelling case for just such a connection. Ritberger explains that the human energy system is an electromagnetic energy force that is rich in biological and biographical information. It servesas a holographic image that reflects our state of well-being—spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. Its light and colors tell the story of who we are, how we think, why we act the way we do, how our personalities affect our lives, and the state of our physical condition. Its subtle energy reveals the essence of our true selves, and its patterns create a mosaic of our souls. Your Personality, Your Health is unique in its subject matter and the manner in which it connects the human energy system with predictable behavioral characteristics dictated by our personalities. It offers a variety of perspectives to enable us to better understand ourselves, why we become ill, and where in our physical bodies we are most susceptible to creating illness. As you read this fascinating book, you will be encouraged in your efforts to change the thoughts, emotions, and habits that may be holding you back; to accept yourself for who you are; to embrace the innate creativity and wisdom you hold inside; and to learn to love the uniqueness you bring to this world. This work offers you the opportunity to discover the vast, untapped riches that lie within you and your divine essence!

Pollyannas take heart, pessimists take note: Recent studies on achievement and well-being show that optimistic behavior contributes to better physical health, greater resilience in the face of life’s twists and turns, and more satisfying relationships. As psychologists Suzanne Segerstrom reveals, optimists lay groundwork for the success they envision. While the rest of us worry whether our goals are attainable, those who practice optimism try to achieve theirs. Breaking Murphy’s Law shows you simple ways to develop the skills that natural-born optimists use to get what they want from life. Dr. Segerstrom helps you break free from the inertia of cynicism and self-doubt and encourages you to engage the world around you. “Doing optimism”--by getting involved, working hard, and enjoying your achievements--establishes a positive feedback loop that’s both personally transformative and self-perpetuating. This practical book imparts the lesson with a mix of humor and intelligence that will convince even the most hardened cynics that Murphy got it wrong.
