Introduction6:13
Your sense of self is the most powerful force in your life determining your destiny - your success and failure, finances, relationships, and general happiness, satisfaction, and ability to deal with challenges. This video introduces ideas like this, along with pointing out your TWO distinct senses of self which we'll refer back to frequently throughout the course as we steer you toward becoming the best version of yourself and living your best life.
Identity Layer 10: Possessions10:35
Your "things" aren't even "you," but they can act as billboards to tell the world who you are, and to the degree that you identify with them, they become part of your sense of self. Explore why you have what you have. Are more of a function or form type of person? Your stuff can connect you to others (or drive a wedge between you). Which is better? More or less?
Identity Layer 9: Environment6:55
If you picked you up and dropped you in diverse environments, your sense of self (and the way others perceive you) would change significantly.
Identity Layer 8: Communities13:54
You belong to many communities (and mere demographics), which often dictate how you should think, feel, and behave. Let's explore whether you prefer to play along or walk your own path, along with how to feel that sense of belonging and the sense of security that group membership offers.
Identity Layer 7: Relationships9:10
Friends and other relationships help you see who you are by mirroring your best (and worst) traits, and through other ways they treat and react to you. Make sure you're getting the most value from this wonderful (and complex) layer of what makes you you.
Identity Layer 6: Activities9:23
Your experience has surely shaped your sense of self to a large degree. Let's make sure you're extracting the full value from this layer of who you are.
Identity Layer 5: Body17:02
The marketers want you to believe that your body is the main thing you've got to offer the world (so they can sell you more products). Let's explore the three primary purposes of your body and how they relate to your sense of self.
Identity Layer 4: Personality11:03
Personality is defined as your persistent behavior, but it's much more (and sometimes less) than just that. Explore mirrors, personality box sets, how to add awesome sauce and more easily see the good in yourself, and more in this video.
Identity Layer 3: Expectations11:16
You may *think* you're in control of your life, but immense internal forces often work crossways to your dreams and wishes. This video explores this fact, along with what you can do about it.
Identity Layer 2: Objective Reality11:55
Your conscious view of who you are gets horribly tainted by subconscious fears and other filters. Imagine what you could accomplish if you could somehow sidestep all that irrational interference!
Identity Layer 1: Imagination & Possibilities13:11
There's a lot more to you than whatever you've already experienced. This video discusses ways to discover and access all that unrealized potential.
Part 1 Summary3:00
A few final reminders as we wrap up the overview of the 10 layers of identity.

Requirements

Description

The way you perceive yourself tells you how to think, feel, and behave, which means it controls your destiny more than any other factor.

"Finding" and designing (choosing) yourself is one of the most empowering and exciting thing you'll ever do, but it can take many decades if you lack a precise explanation of what that means and exactly how it happens on the many layers of what makes you "you."

This course is designed after the upcoming book of the same title. It divides your sense of self into 10 different layers, working from the surface down to the core of what makes you "you."

This course is much more than merely descriptive (who you have been up to this point in your life), because you are literally filled with unrealized potential to explore and discover, and because a large potion of who you think you are has merely been a reaction to outside forces.

Parents, teachers, friends, and marketers have all sought to shape your thoughts, feelings and behaviors - even when they had no idea they were doing so. Do you approve of all the directions you've taken? Would you like to make any adjustments or additions now? We like to think you'd be crazy not to, because we have a pretty good idea of how beautiful and exciting and helpful and satisfying these undiscovered, undeveloped parts of you can be.

So join us as we walk you through how to discover your full self and take the paths that lead to your best self and living your best life! You'll never see yourself the same way again!

Video discussions introduce main concepts, and homework filled with questions and other resources help you apply everything to your unique situation and preferences. We'll continue posting additional videos and resources as we see people take the course. Let us know what you'd like to hear more about in the comments!!

Who this course is for:

Anyone who loves to understand the world, beginning with themselves and the ways they interact with it. Anyone who wants to wake up every day feeling excited about living their life. Everyone who wants to live their best life by growing their strengths and reducing weaknesses, and who is willing to invest a small amount of time to explore exciting new ideas about exactly what they're made of on multiple levels.
