Author, Cogntive Anthropologist, BobDeutsch.me, Brain-sells.com
Meet Dr. Bob Deutsch: Cognitive anthropologist & author of The 5 Essentials: Using Your Inborn Resources To Create a Fulfilling Life:
There couldn't be a better time for this book. As we face unprecedented levels of uncertainty and change, it's more important than ever that you know who you are. The 5 Essentials will help make this possible in revelatory new ways.Through Dr. Deutsch's keen anthropological eye for "deep universals," he shows us that we each have, in our own way and on our own scale, the ability to live lives as rich and vibrant as we can imagine.
Bob Deutsch, Ph.D., has spent nearly three decades researching this question, and he has found that each of us has five inborn resources - curiosity, openness, sensuality, paradox, and self-story - that when used optimally can lead to extraordinary levels of self-expansion.
Dr. Deutsch calls these tools essentials because they are resident in all of us, because they are central to our being, and because they go a long way toward providing us clues to who we really are.
