Numbers and letters are the blueprints of our lives. By studying the patterns they create - whether it's a name, an address or a date - we can learn more about ourselves, others and how to best interact with those around us. Providing simple numeric exercises that use only the first vowel and first consonant of a person's name and their birth month and day, Michael Brill shows how to identify anyone's reactive and proactive behaviour patterns - along with their underlying causes - to prevent and resolve interpersonal issues as well as recognise and change our own negative personal tendencies. Combining numerology with psychology, he explains the connection between the first name and behaviour at work, the middle name and social-emotional patterns in relationships and the last name and family dynamics. Illustrating how this information can be applied by managers, teachers, health professionals, sales people and parents, he reveals how to find anyone's personal challenges and greatest strengths through their Achievement Number as well as how to use this number for a more accurate understanding of an individual's behaviour patterns. Offering extensive examples, interpretations and exercises, he reveals how recognising these facets of our behaviour is the first step to working through our negative patterns and effecting personal transformation. * shows how to find anyone's personal challenges and greatest strengths * presents simple numeric exercises that use the first vowel and first consonant of a name and the birth month and day * reveals how this method of numerology can be applied by managers, teachers, health professionals, sales people and parents
