    About this ebook

    There are a lot of personality and intelligence tests out there designed to label you and put you in a particular box. But Dr. Caroline Leaf says there's much more to you than a personality profile can capture. In fact, you cannot be categorized!

    Based on her powerful book, this study takes participants through seven steps to unlock their unique design--the brilliantly original way they think, feel, relate, and make choices--freeing them from comparison, envy, and jealousy, which destroy brain tissue. Participants learn to be aware of what's going on in their own minds and bodies, to lean in to their own experiences rather than trying to forcefully change them, and to redefine what success means to them. Released from the suffocating box of expectations, they'll embrace their true identity and develop a clear sense of divine purpose in their lives.

      Who am I?

      We all, at one point in our lives, ask ourselves this question. We are who we are, but unveiling our identity and activating it correctly are crucial to a life well-lived; this question is the theme of countless books, both classic and modern, fiction and nonfiction. It shapes some of the greatest masterpieces in the world of art and characterizes the world of education. It is a question that none of us can escape—a question that can only be measured by the individual as an individual: Can I accept the way God has allowed me to be?

      In The Perfect You, I discussed this question of identity and how each of us has a unique way of thinking, feeling, and choosing. No two minds are alike—our ability to think, choose, and feel is our particular blueprint for identity.
