Amazon.com Review In this comprehensive and colorfully illustrated "identity kit," readers examine themselves through 101 lenses, including the sun signs, the "Sevenfold Faces of Siang Mien" (a test that examines facial shapes), the models of Chinese medicine (are you a nurturer, explorer, magicia, or alchemist?), and even which sections of your brain are the most dominant. Numerous ancient and modern traditions and sciences are used to uncover how we think, feel, relate to the divine, and physically embody this lifetime. Of course, the information will seem contradictory at times. For example, if your body type is endomorph you probably have a sluggish, go-with-the-flow personality. Yet, if you were also born in 1963 you are ruled by the tiger, indicating you are rash, impulsive, and quick-tempered. But never mind all that. This is meant to be a tool for self-exploration, not a tidy, compact formula. The quality stock paper, lovely illustrations and photographs, and stellar research make this a fascinating household staple--guaranteed to capture everyone's curiosity. A perfect party book.

Fun for exploring and finding the self, 2008-08-16 This book is helpful if you are a lost soul. It lets you see many ways of viewing your self. Of course you have to be an open minded person to consider many of the ideas here.

Know thyself, know others better!, 2008-04-30 Fertile Prayers: Daily Fertile Prayers
Learning about yourself is an indirect way to connect to many, many other people. Reading this book gives an understanding about how gypsies, psychologists, and many, many cultures figure out meaning of life, and who each of us are as well as how we fit into a schema.
I am connected to this author, by example, by the autoharp. Stephen Hawkins was at one time proficient in autoharp. I also just read a book about many facets of India called Karma Sutra by Menen on the subject of sex workers. The connection we each have is to each other.

What is your personal agenda? (1), 2007-08-31 Gathering together so many different ways of seeing oneself, this book reflects how much emphasis has been placed on the self in our times. Playing with all of these ways does help one "see" different perspectives, but perhaps not all of them. Keep this book handy to dislodge yourself from a static position. However, if we're looking for more dynamic information, we would be better served to look beyond these mirrors and see the mystery of others outside of ourselves. Then, upon reflection, we will recognize the mystery of ourselves more readily and more deeply than these 101 ways.

Excellent way of finding out for yourself what type of person you are!, 2006-03-24 This book is a conglomerate of 101 "tests" ranging from physical appearance, to customs, things you do, like or dislike. It's funny to find out that how you see yourself sometimes differs a lot from how people see you. This book is for those who are looking to have a fun and good time finding out how you see yourself and how those around you see and value in you. Great tool to objectively become a better person and showing you your areas of improvement.

for sh*&s and giggles, 2005-07-18 I think the book should come with a disclaimer.. Do not take these tests as serious psychological assessment! I think the book has wonderful entertainment value (5 stars worth). The tests are catalysts for introspection, which ultimately help in figuring out who we are. All I'm saying is don't go jump off a bridge if your 'Are you stable?' test brings less than desirable results.
