The Five Wisdom Energies: A Buddhist Way of Understanding Personalities, Emotions, and Relationships

Join us for a playful and accessible exploration of the Five Wisdom Energies. The book invites us to celebrate our strengths and work with our weaknesses by learning to identify and use five basic personal styles or energies. This is the first general-audience book on a Tibetan Buddhist system known as "the five buddha families"—an insightful way of understanding human behavior and promoting personal growth.

Each of the five wisdom energies is associated with particular ways of perceiving and interacting with the world and also with particular colors, elements, senses, seasons, and times of day. With easy, fun, and engaging exercises and stories, Irini Rockwell shows us how to identify which energies are active in our lives, and how we can work with them in any situation to improve self-awareness, communication, and creative expression.
