Why did I make the switch from the MBTI and personality psychology to humanistic psychology? Mainly, I developed a fascination with Abraham Maslow and Alfred Adler and ofcourse Carl Rogers. I wanted to connect more with people in a time of increasing disconnection and polarization. I wanted to spend less time categorizing people and more time understanding happiness in a broader sense. Ofcourse, I recognize people have individual differences and preferences. But I think we have more in common than we have differences. I want to have empathetic conversations with people that transcend differences.

And I believe empathy is a state which allows us to transcend our ego and to experience what life is like from another person's perspective. I think, if we limit ourselves to one mode of being or one personality state, we miss what's on the other side. If we're too self-centered and focused on what is going on inside us, we miss the chance to connect and understand other's. Jung always warned against rejecting the shadow or building up polarizations and inner conflicts inside ourselves, casting one trait aside while lifting another up to the skies, idealizing a certain way of life - be it the workaholic life, or the hippie life, and not understanding the happiness that can be found in hard work - or in peace, love, and understanding.

I've fallen in love with coaching and being a coach.

I relaunched my new coaching program at 99$ a couple of weeks ago, and I'm happy that several have already signed up.

Some of you are coming in to find out your personality type. I'll help you explore not just your personality but also your current development and where you are in the spectrum.

Most of you have struggles with your inferior function or undeveloped traits and the dynamic between them. I'll show you how to overcome those struggles.

What I like most about coaching is that I get to do what I like best—listen and mentor others. I get into a flow state when I can help or guide others. Between sessions, I spend much time preparing relevant books for you. I'm not just your coach -- I'm your personal librarian, and I can find exercises and tips you can use between sessions to move further in your growth path. Become aware of and learn how to work through and find flow by creating a positive relationship between your dominant and inferior functions.

Growth can feel like an abstract word. What does it mean in practice? You're not just finding yourself for the fun of it or just for the knowledge. My sessions are intended to improve your well-being and life by helping you get a raise, find a better-fit job, or have better relationships. It's not about working through Extroverted Thinking. It's about learning how to nurture a sense of Competence to give you the power to move through the professional world as an equal, not an inferior.

I have over a decade of coaching experience and have coached hundreds of people in my life.

This is a photo from my vacation in Walchensee, the Alps in Germany. The view was breathtaking, and the hike up to the top was amazing. More time outside has benefited me and my well-being most over the last few years.

Eggs.

In exactly 48 hours, my girlfriend and I will land in Sweden. ✈️

After nine months of Spanish studies and nine years of living abroad, I'm returning to family nature and beautiful Sweden.

I'm just about ready for a vacation and then to start on a SECRET PROJECT. What could it be?

Sadly, like all good things, it'll take some time.

But I believe in what I'm doing, and the value it can provide for all of you, and I promise it will be worth the wait.

I might be posting less next month across all my channels. But I have many cool old videos to enjoy, so sit back, grab popcorn, and enjoy. I'll be right back!

Happy Easter!

Love,

Erik

I’m starting to ask bigger more philosophical questions lately! What questions would you like me to ask the next time I interview people outside?
