About The Five Archetypes

It’s a Behavior Change Model. A proactive, predictable behavior change model that teaches you and your teams to shift from ineffective to optimal. You learn the foundational way energy flows in a high functioning system, then how to align your thoughts and actions to this flow. Success is the natural byproduct of your effective alignment. You’ll see success in business, love, friendships, and projects.

Relate better. This method reveals the specific way all things are interrelated. When we know how people and things relate, we can make better, more conscious choices. Every thought and action has a specific ripple effect. A distorted relationship to our perceptions creates disharmony in our environment. Balanced perceptions heal relationships with exponential speed.

Decide smarter. With this simple, yet deeply profound ancient technology, we can recognize our limited thinking in real time, regulate out of it, and make infinitely better choices. This prevents any toxic breakdowns before they ever have a chance to see the light of day. As a result, we stop wasting time putting out preventable and harmful fires at work and at home.

Three Ways to Start Your 5A Journey

The Ripple Effect: At every level, you’ll uncover more. About yourself, your relationships, and the systems you’re part of. The deeper you go, the more you prevent problems before they begin, sustain change, and create a ripple effect of resilience and clarity that reaches far beyond you.

Level 1: insider

For everyone who feels stuck and wants to uncover the real reason why.

level 2: seeker

For serious learners ready to change their lives from the inside out.

level 3: guide

For those called to transform themselves and help others thrive.

Be a rockstar when things get messy.

You’re running on invisible patterns that make you feel stuck. To fix it, you’re using outdated systems masquerading as “gold standard,” frustrated that it doesn’t help. 

That’s because life, and everything in it, moves at its own natural, predictable pace. We believe people or circumstances must change their natural pace so we can be happy, and that’s when things grind to a halt. Nature doesn’t bend to our every whim. 

The only way to feel at ease is to become adaptable to change. We teach you how.

Acclaim for
The Five Archetypes

“Completely [changed] the way I consider people who stress me out or rub me the wrong way or just see the world differently than I do…. [The Five Archetypes] is fascinating—and Davidson is brilliant…. Read the book, mull it over, and prepare to have your mind blown.”

— Megan O'Neill, Goop

“If you knew there were specific ways that are most effective for you to destress or to negotiate with a colleague, would you want to know them? Most of us would jump at the chance and then want to learn the same for our partners, colleagues, and children…. Carey Davidson…has made these exact insights accessible by translating ancient wisdom into modern insights in her book, The Five Archetypes.”

— Nell Derick Debevoise, Forbes

“Davidson provides a framework for living a more mindful and fulfilling life in this comprehensive analysis of five archetypes of behavior…. Readers well-versed in mindfulness exercises and Chinese medicine will be most interested in these pragmatic exercises for making lasting life improvements.”

— Publishers Weekly
