SOCIALPATH Boost Your Social Centers and Improve Your Relationships Socialpath reteaches the overriding important of others to our wellbeing. That through helping others, we help ourselves. Socialpath accelerates this process through exposing the powerful ‘flocking’ centers that drive much of how we behave day- to-day. Through such an understanding we become better equipped to positively influence our interactions with others. We are also afforded the joy associated with helping, inspiring, and uplifting others as well as thanking those that have helped us on our journey. • The Centers of Focus: The Social (or Flock) Centers of Your Life • The Path to These Goals: Improve Yourself Through Helping Others • Associated Precious Gem: Yellow Citron We’re not alone and have never been. We’re brought into this world by others, raised and nurtured by them, educated and socialized by them, and are continuously supported by countless others. We have a genuine responsibility to help others and in doing so, begin to repay the debt we owe the myriad that that have helped us. The great mystic Rumi went as far as stating “our main purpose in this life is to serve others”. To begin helping others, we need to first better understand ourselves. We need to appreciate just how deeply our shared DNA unites us, makes us so very similar deep at our core—i.e. makes us human. We also need to understand the common, tribe-like centers of mind that drive so much of our behaviors. Strong flock-like clusters of mind that are strongly interconnected with powerful emotional centers such as empathy, loving, kindness, and compassion. It’s no wonder we all share the desire to bond and help others; we are hardwired to do so.
