Book Description
Created by a famous Japanese psychologist, Kokology is the study of kokoro ("mind" or "spirit", in Japanese). Based on sound principles of psychology and psycho-analytic imagery, Kokology asks you to use creative visualization to answer questions about seemingly innocuous topics -- like the color of an imaginary bird that has flown in your window -- and then reveals what your answers say about you. A series of questions about climbing a mountain might uncover your true feelings about your father. A quiz about an amusement park could provide shocking insight into your sex life. A perfect introduction to this unique approach to self-awareness, Kokology features fifty-five quizzes that can be taken alone, by couples, or in groups. Like The Book of Questions and the If... books, it is great for both college study breaks and adult dinner parties. In fact, if the Japanese response to Kokology is any indication -- a popular TV show there features nothing more than celebrities taking Kokology quizzes -- the book could spawn an American craze of Pokemon proportions.

2 Kinds of People

ISBN: 152350062X
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 176

Book Description
It takes all kinds of people to make a world, the expression goes. But maybe it really takes only two kinds. People who put ketchup on their fries, and people who put the ketchup on the side. People who squeeze gently from the bottom, and people who manhandle the toothpaste tube. 2 Kinds of People is the interactive visual personality quiz that’s as much fun as a game. It works by showing two illustrations side by side. If you and your partner pick the same one, score it on the foldout wheel in the back, and move to the next. At the end, the number of matches determines where you fall on the Scale of Compatibility, ranging from mortal enemies to soul mates. There are 85 pairs in all, covering food, home, technology, travel, and more. It’s the perfect icebreaker, a clever way to find out if you and your best friend/date/coworker and/or person you just met in a bar are compatible. Cup or cone? Cash or plastic? Shower or bath? Escalator or stairs? Toilet paper over, or toilet paper under? Like they say, it’s the little things in life that really count.

But after surviving a five-foot, head-first fall from the stage earlier this year, I think I might be ready.” —Jimmy Buffett
