# How to Understand Yourself Better, and the People Around You

Jan 27, 2023

![How to Understand Yourself Better, and the People Around You](https://thestoryseller.com/hubfs/Author%20Hour%20-%20Gibran%20Nicholas-1.jpg)

I was interviewed this week for the *Author Hour *podcast. I shared some personal stories of why archetypes matter so much to me personally. This is a great 30-minute listen if you want to learn how the 9 archetypes can help you understand yourself better and the people around you.
