If you want to know why you do what you do, and why your significant others, your in-laws or even your favorite celebrities do what they do, this book is for you.

In Why We Do What We Do: Four Pathways to Your Authentic Self, psychologist Caroline Hanstke, and Brian and Therese Emmanuel Grey introduce a breakthrough behavior and relationship model that is helping hundreds of people get along better with others. This model introduces four primary patterns that people function through, known as the inner family archetypes. These archetypes profoundly impact how we relate to others, and shape our behavior by influencing how we think and feel, what we like and dislike, and what we aspire to.

“This is a wonderfully integrated way of learning about the dynamics of our own personality and our relationships with other,” says author Patricia Spadaro. “These simple yet deep concepts have the power to lead us to the core of who we really are so we can give our most precious gift to others.”

Why We Do What We Do offers a unique approach to self-knowledge. It shares inspiring stories and provides practical exercises, along with a personalized relationship guide. It also describes how well known historical and contemporary figures play out their archetypal pattern of behavior.

Caroline and Brian developed the inner family archetype model in 1990 to coach individuals and groups, to heal relationship problems and to mediate human resource issues in large and small business organizations. Today, Caroline runs a private counseling practice in Calgary, Canada, and Brian offers personal coaching out of Bozeman, Montana. Brian’s spouse, Therese, is a journalist who first started working with the inner family archetypes as a client and personally experienced their transforming power in her life. Today, she facilitates The Inner Family Archetype Model in workshops, seminars and publications.

An understanding of the inner family archetypes is one of the most practical tools you can have for responsible personal progress,” says Alberta Fredricksen, a retired human resource director for a public school district. “Applying this book has resulted in the following benefits,” says David Alexander, a senior engineer on NASA projects. “More positive interpersonal relationships, less difficult “difficult” people, and more successful work projects!”
