Sacred Contracts: Awakening Your Divine Potential

Caroline Myss, a medical intuitive, argues that each person is born with a set of archetypes, which are patterns of behavior such as Victim, Prostitute, Saboteur, Healer or Warrior. She says they shape our relationships, careers and health. She proposes that we can identify our own twelve, understand their light and shadow sides, and use them to understand the sacred contract each person makes before birth. The book includes exercises, a guide to archetype types, and examples from her workshops.

For readers into self-exploration, spirituality and personality frameworks, this offers a vocabulary for talking about patterns in your life. Those who prefer evidence-based psychology will find it more faith-based.

Inward-looking; a moderate read.

Best for readers like The Empathetic Explorer. Which reader are you?
