A guide to the Ayurvedic personality types, or doshas, with psychology-based advice on cultivating balance, from the author of The Ayurvedic Self-Care Handbook

At the core of Ayurveda is an understanding that we are all made of the same materials—the five elements of ether (space), air, fire, water, and earth—and how you look, think, and feel can be traced back to your unique proportion of these elements at any given time.

This is your dosha, the true essence of who you are.

Knowing your dosha is the key to deeper self-knowledge, easier relationships, and a happier future. In The Seven Ways of Ayurveda, you'll discover which type fits you best.
  • Vata: creator, multitasker, artist
  • Pitta: perfectionist, challenger, leader
  • Kapha: peacemaker, nurturer, lover
  • Vata-Pitta: performer, innovator, first responder
  • Pitta-Kapha: guardian, moralist, observer
  • Vata-Kapha: dreamer, supporter, conversationalist
  • Tri-Dosha: proficient in all trades, well-rounded

  • Then, you'll identify your innate strengths (and their "shadow sides"); whether you're out of balance (and what to do); how your unique type approaches work, love, travel, and more; and how to forge true, mutual understanding with friends and loved ones whose doshas may differ. When you know yourself better, you can take better care of yourself—and others, too.

        Kucera's (The Ayurvedic Self-Care Handbook) latest title focuses on the personality and psychological traits of the seven different dosha types identified in Ayurvedic medicine. Doshas are described as the human body's combinations of the five Ayurvedic elements (ether, air, fire, water, and earth) which are believed to impact a person's body type, metabolic function, specific health concerns, disposition, and personality. Kucera writes that readers can achieve optimal health by determining which of the seven doshas they are most closely aligned with and correspondingly modifying the way they eat, exercise, and rest. A simple quiz early in the book will help readers to quickly identify their dosha; each subsequent chapter underscores the doshas' characteristics. Describing how the various doshas translate as personality types, Kucera advises how each will perform at work, school, and in relationships and suggests psychological techniques to augment one's strengths and correct one's imbalances. VERDICT For readers interested in complementary medicine, adherents of Ayurvedic medicine, and anyone who enjoys trying self-improvement through personality typing.--Janet Tapper
