The Five Archetypes

“Completely [changed] the way I consider people who stress me out or rub me the wrong way or just see the world differently than I do…. [The Five Archetypes] is fascinating—and Davidson is brilliant…. Read the book, mull it over, and prepare to have your mind blown.”

— Megan O'Neill, Goop

“If you knew there were specific ways that are most effective for you to destress or to negotiate with a colleague, would you want to know them? Most of us would jump at the chance and then want to learn the same for our partners, colleagues, and children…. Carey Davidson…has made these exact insights accessible by translating ancient wisdom into modern insights in her book, The Five Archetypes.”

— Nell Derick Debevoise, Forbes

“Davidson provides a framework for living a more mindful and fulfilling life in this comprehensive analysis of five archetypes of behavior…. Readers well-versed in mindfulness exercises and Chinese medicine will be most interested in these pragmatic exercises for making lasting life improvements.”

— Publishers Weekly

Explore The Five Archetypes.
Discover You.

With this new self-guided system of personal transformation you can predict and overcome pitfalls that hold you back.

Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood.  These five elements naturally occur in our physical environment and are the building blocks of how all things grow and transform.  Understanding the elements and how they interact reveals exactly how an employee becomes a rock star and how we each fall into deep, lasting and wonderful love.

Once you discover the five archetypes, you’ll begin to see how they determine your thoughts, motivations, strengths and challenges.  They reveal the reasons behind why you feel uncomfortable around some people in a room and completely at ease around others.

When you understand your archetypal makeup and that of the people in your life, every relationship becomes clear.  This realization can lead to increased happiness, reduced anxiety, feeling more confident taking risks and making more effective decisions – especially under stress.

THE ARCHITECT
