Features: On June 15, 1998, psychologist Steven Rice announced a new research finding, which was immediately picked up by Reuters and the Associated Press and published in newspapers and magazines worldwide. What unique knowledge attracted all this attention? Humans are naturally inclined to explore, strive, and desire. Philosophers and scientists have always delved into the motivations behind human behavior. Through relentless research, Dr. Rice discovered that everything we do can be categorized into 16 basic desires—power, independence, curiosity, tolerance, order, savings, honor, idealism, social, family, identity, revenge, romance, eating, fitness, and peace. Different combinations of these 16 basic desires shape your unique personality. No two people are exactly the same, and no two people have identical "desire profiles." The 16 Desires That Can Change Your Life helps you understand yourself and the people around you.
