This book was released on 2016-05-09 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After years of coaching writers who struggled with procrastination issues, high sensitivity to criticism, and crippling self doubt, Lauren Sapala realized that almost every one of her clients was an INFJ or INFP. Using the insights gleaned from these clients, as well as her own personal story, Sapala shows us how the experience of the intuitive writer can be radically different from the norm. INFJ writers don’t think like anyone else, and their highly creative brains take a toll on them that they rarely share with the outside world. The INFJ Writer discusses such topics as: How an INFJ writer’s physical health is tied to their creative output Why INFJ writers are more likely to fall prey to addictions When an INFJ writer should use their natural psychic ability to do their best creative work Whether looking to start writing again or to finish the novel/memoir they started so long ago, any writer with the self-awareness to identify themselves as highly sensitive and intuitive will benefit from this book that helps them to find their own magic, and to finally use it to build the creative life that actually works for them.

Book excerpt: The term “INFJ” might mean little to most people, but to anyone who identifies with this personality type these four letters represent self-discovery, self-acceptance, and a radical new understanding of what it means to be introverted, Highly Sensitive, and empathic. But although ever-growing numbers of INFJs are waking up to the power of our intuitive gifts, we continue to struggle mentally, emotionally, and spiritually in a culture that does not value intuition. Lauren Sapala explores the roadblocks that are still holding many INFJs back and tackles the most important questions for INFJs today. How can we find our purpose? Where and why do we give away our power? And how can we use our unique gifts and innate passion in order to create a better world? Only by moving beyond limiting mindsets and beliefs can INFJs move forward to fulfill our purpose as the healers of the world, and then reclaim our power and step into the role of the leaders we were always meant to be.
Download or read book Firefly Magic written by Lauren Sapala and published by Lauren Sapala. This book was released on 2018-04-30 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lauren Sapala coached Highly Sensitive Writers for years before she discovered one of the biggest obstacles holding them back in their writing careers: a rock-solid resistance to marketing. Regardless of the wealth of book marketing tools and resources available to writers and artists today, most highly creative people still feel suspicious, confused, or just plain turned off by marketing and sales. The hidden reason behind this resistance is a deeply rooted fear that marketing for writers always results in a loss of integrity for the writer. Almost all highly creative people are also Highly Sensitive People, many of which are INFJ or INFP personality types. These Highly Sensitive Writers feel any possible threat to their integrity intensely. The fear they feel around marketing takes root in limiting beliefs that shut them down before they even begin. Lauren Sapala shares stories and strategies to help Highly Sensitive Writers shift their mindset and open up to new ways to promote their work. She helps all writers realize that—due to their Highly Sensitive nature—they might just make the best salespeople of all.

INFP Romance 7 Actionable Steps for Overcoming Your Weaknesses as an INFP The 10 Most Influential INFPs We Can Learn From Conclusion An excerpt from the book: INFPs, in general, are reluctant leaders. This is mainly because INFPs are carefree and laid-back people who are uncomfortable with hard guidelines and strict schedules. As an INFP, you would much rather play the supportive role and cooperative follower than an authoritative leader. You have no desire to exercise control over the people around you. This does not mean you do not have what it takes to become an effective leader. You just prefer not to be in the spotlight. That said, when you are faced with a cause you personally believe in, you have no problem taking charge. As an INFP, your leadership style can be described as passionate and encouraging. You make sure that all the members of your team are given equal opportunities to shine. You strive toward a harmonious working environment, and for that reason, you are quick to address any concerns your team members might have. Because of your intuition and sensitivity, you can sense whenever there are unspoken issues that need to be taken care of.

Download or read book The 48 Laws of Power written by Robert Greene and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2023-10-31 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature. In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum. Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.
Download or read book Infp written by Sandra Nichols and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-29 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the result of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator(R) personality inventory is the INFP, typology experts define him as the Healer, the Mediator, the Romantic, and the Advocate. The INFP is one of the rarest types, representing about one or two percent of the population. He is an idealist who focuses on needs and he is compassionate to the point of selflessness. The INFP believes that goodness is the inherent and prevailing nature of mankind. He is here to heal the wounds of the human condition with his words, his hands, or his counsel. The INFP, whose love of metaphor in unsurpassed by any type is, himself, a metaphor of the Romantic Hero. He is an ambitious advocate of human potential and a defender of truth and authenticity. He seeks meaning and life purpose with an incomparable drive. Love, beauty, innocence, and nature are the elements of truth he seeks to preserve and embody. His compassion draws him to his purpose; the problems that disturb him are his life's mission to heal. Although he is the great healer of separations, he is humble and reserved by nature. His challenge is to value his quiet worth enough to express his idealistic visions of truth in a world replete with deviations from it. The INFP who finds his healing purpose finds the way to his freedom and when he does, he makes the world a better place. The highly principled healer, however, is like a very rare and delicate flower that grows in the shade. He often feels isolated and lonely. He wilts when he is criticized and cannot bear conflict of any sort. Sadly, he is drawn to the rain and to the dark. He is often unaware of his power and importance because his reserved nature and his unique constitution tend to be undermined in an obstreperous world. The Healer must dismiss any notions of his meekness if he hopes for others to do the same. When he understands the strengths, challenges, and contradictions of his type, he learns how to manifest his ideals by expressing his truths with abundant energy and enthusiasm. He must believe that the world will enter and delight in his garden of shade when he extends the invitation. "INFP: A Flower in the Shade", is a celebration of the INFP's richness and intensity. It is about the consequences of his preferences and how he can avoid the emotional turmoil that accompanies living in the shade. It is an exploration of his individualism, his quest for truth, his compassion, and his keen conceptual awareness as well as his struggles and his contradictions. It is a discussion of the reasons for his loneliness and of ways for him to appreciate his unique gifts. Its purpose is to help INFP's who may be feeling lost and alone to know how extraordinary they truly are. It is written to assist the Healers on their life journeys, to realize their power, their tremendous influence and their contribution to the world.
Download or read book The Personality Brokers written by Merve Emre and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The basis for the new HBO Max documentary, Persona *A New York Times Critics' Best Book of 2018* *An Economist Best Book of 2018* *A Spectator Best Book of 2018* *A Mental Floss Best Book of 2018* An unprecedented history of the personality test conceived a century ago by a mother and her daughter--fiction writers with no formal training in psychology--and how it insinuated itself into our boardrooms, classrooms, and beyond The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is the most popular personality test in the world. It is used regularly by Fortune 500 companies, universities, hospitals, churches, and the military. Its language of personality types--extraversion and introversion, sensing and intuiting, thinking and feeling, judging and perceiving--has inspired television shows, online dating platforms, and Buzzfeed quizzes. Yet despite the test's widespread adoption, experts in the field of psychometric testing, a $2 billion industry, have struggled to validate its results--no less account for its success. How did Myers-Briggs, a homegrown multiple choice questionnaire, infiltrate our workplaces, our relationships, our Internet, our lives? First conceived in the 1920s by the mother-daughter team of Katherine Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers, a pair of devoted homemakers, novelists, and amateur psychoanalysts, Myers-Briggs was designed to bring the gospel of Carl Jung to the masses. But it would take on a life entirely its own, reaching from the smoke-filled boardrooms of mid-century New York to Berkeley, California, where it was administered to some of the twentieth century's greatest creative minds. It would travel across the world to London, Zurich, Cape Town, Melbourne, and Tokyo, until it could be found just as easily in elementary schools, nunneries, and wellness retreats as in shadowy political consultancies and on social networks. Drawing from original reporting and never-before-published documents, The Personality Brokers takes a critical look at the personality indicator that became a cultural icon. Along the way it examines nothing less than the definition of the self--our attempts to grasp, categorize, and quantify our personalities. Surprising and absorbing, the book, like the test at its heart, considers the timeless question: What makes you, you?

Book excerpt: A collection of essays that are "like being seated beside the most entertaining guest at a dinner party" (Atlanta Journal Constitution), from the New York Times bestselling author of American Housewives “Thank you Helen Ellis for writing down the Southern Lady Code so that others may learn.” —Ann Patchett, bestselling author of The Dutch House Helen Ellis has a mantra: “If you don't have something nice to say, say something not-so-nice in a nice way.” Say “weathered” instead of “she looks like a cake left out in the rain” and “I’m not in charge” instead of “they’re doing it wrong.” In these twenty-three raucous essays, Ellis transforms herself into a dominatrix Donna Reed to save her marriage, inadvertently steals a Burberry trench coat, avoids a neck lift, and finds a black-tie gown that gives her the confidence of a drag queen. While she may have left Alabama for New York City, Helen Ellis is clinging to her Southern accent like mayonnaise to white bread, and offering readers a hilarious, completely singular view on womanhood for both sides of the Mason-Dixon.
