The Six Soul Types

Why do we repeat the same patterns in love, work, and life even when we long to change? Why do similar relationships, illnesses, and challenges return again and again — and feel like fate? In this groundbreaking and deeply human book, Dr. Rajan Sankaran invites us to look beyond behavior and emotion into the hidden patterns that shape our lives — what he calls the Six Soul Types : the Oyster, Snail, Bird, Dog, Horse, and Lion. Each type is a way of perceiving and protecting ourselves — our unique rhythm of being. Through stories, reflections, and guided exercises, The Six Soul Types reveals how our deepest patterns influence love, conflict, and healing — and how awareness can free us from them. This is not a book about changing others; it is about knowing yourself . When we truly meet ourselves, love becomes simpler, relationships become clearer, and life begins to flow — naturally, effortlessly. Profound yet practical, poetic yet precise, The Six Soul Types is a companion for anyone seeking to grow from reaction to awareness, from pattern to presence, from the soul to the whole.
