The secret to uncovering who you are, and your purpose, is built into you in the form of a code–the identity code\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e Much like your genetic code, your identity code provides a complete map of how you were designed to live.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnswer the questions that frame the identity code, and the contours of your life will shift.

With more than twenty years of experience helping organizations and individuals identify their purpose, Ackerman reveals the Laws of Identity and the Eight Essential Questions they contain. As you answer these questions, your identity will gradually become clear.

These eight questions, and the call to action each one implies, are\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWHO AM I?: Define yourself as separate from all others\u003cbr\u003eWHAT MAKES ME SPECIAL?: Unearth what you love\u003cbr\u003eIS THERE A PATTERN TO MY LIFE?: Make the connections that explain past events and foreshadow your future\u003cbr\u003eWHERE AM I GOING?: Use what you’ve learned so far to guide you on your path\u003cbr\u003eWHAT IS MY GIFT?: Follow the signs of joy\u003cbr\u003eWHO CAN I TRUST?: Take stock of who matters–and why\u003cbr\u003eWHAT IS MY MESSAGE?: Declare yourself on the strength of your gift\u003cbr\u003eWILL MY LIFE BE RICH?: Surrender to the pull of your identity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Ackerman points out, unbridled freedom actually weighs you down. The myth of personal freedom–the notion that you have infinite choices in the course you set for yourself–is the unspoken agony of the modern person. True freedom comes with knowing your identity: the unique characteristics that define your potential for creating value in the world, for making a contribution that springs naturally from the core of your being and touches the lives of others. Within this framework, life’s seeming boundaries melt away. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntelligent, provocative, and always practical, The Identity Code sets the reader on the classic quest: the discovery of self.
