Michael Singer has achieved a level of success that most people can only dream of. He built a billion-dollar company, wrote multiple bestsellers, and more. But what if I told you he never planned or hustle for any of this?
Why IxxPs Struggle with Authenticity
Most people think IxxPs don’t care about others’ opinions. I think the opposite is the case. They care way too much—which is the root of their pain.
No One Can Teach You Anything
Are you into self-help literature, but nothing ever sticks? Are you still in the same place you were a few years ago? If so, you’re probably missing the crucial ingredient for change.
Who Needs Friends
Do you need friends? Well—we all do, but some people appear to have a stronger drive to create connections than others. Friends are important for everyone, but not for everyone in the same way.
No One Owes You Anything
Do you live in scarcity or abundance? Whatever it is, it’s your choice. Truth is, no one owes you anything. But that doesn’t matter since you already have everything you need.
From Confusion to Clarity
Trying to capture what NF exactly is, probably represent an inherent contradiction. We just know that different NFs can lead to misunderstanding. But as long as you remember that communication is a two-way street, you can always find your way out.
How to Build Self-Worth
You have no right to the fruits of your labour, you only own the labour. True self-worth cannot be built on outside accomplishments. It must come from the inside through an attitude of surrender.

The Benefits and Perils of a Strong Self-Image
IxxPs build a solid self-image of who they’d like to be. This is a blessing and a curse. It’s one of the pieces you need to find your way in life. Unfortunately, another part is painfully missing.
Fi vs Fe: When They Collide
Fi and Fe show attraction in different ways and have different needs. If you’re not aware of that, collisions easily happen. But with awareness come solutions.
How to Start Meditating
Awareness is where change begins. As you observe the movement of your breath, you gain insight into the movement of your mind. As you find deeper understanding, the change you want becomes inevitable.
Clash of the Masculine NTs
There is no perfect formula to calculate romantic compatibility. But there are a few key principles to pay attention to, so you can build the relationship you want. Here’s what works for us.
Know Your Differences
Objective Personality gives us a map for using the tools we have to create connection. We know what we can do, what others need and how to bridge the gap.
How to be Responsible
Responsibility is a spectrum between the binary ends of Generalise and Specialise. No matter where you fall on it, embrace your role and own your responsibility.
How to Get Away with Moping
Every Mope struggles with Demon Tribe issues. But the Double-Deciders among them find their balance. How? Here are two lessons I learned from Neil Gaiman.
Projection Ruins Everything
Projection is the distorted lens through which you perceive reality, like wearing tinted glasses that only show the colours you want to see. Unchecked, it can ruin everything.
No More Tidal Waves
Some moments hit you “seemingly” out of nowhere. The wave crashes upon you and you’re drowning. You can’t breathe and panic spreads throughout your body. You’ve been hit by a tidal wave.
Ego Death for Beginners
People think personality typing is fast, fun, and easy. If you do it right, it’s hard, painful and takes time. But it’s more than worth it.
First Know Yourself
Objective typing is about understanding others deep down. But how are you supposed to know others if you don’t know yourself?
