Caroline Myss and Wayne Dyer have helped tens of thousands of us access our innate abilities by teaching us how we create our own realities, for better or worse, and how to consciously direct human energy toward achieving goals.

Each of us identifies with certain universal myths and symbols known as Archetypes. In this new work, Myss covers 10 primary archetypes: Caregiver, Artist, Fashionista, Intellectual, Rebel, Queen/Executive, Advocate, Visionary, Athlete, and Spiritual Seeker. She helps us determine which archetypes best define us as individuals, laying out each archetype’s unique path, strengths, and weaknesses. By identifying our personal archetypes, we gain the knowledge necessary to live an authentic life that reflects who we really are.
