The Nexus Quest: A Passport to the Good Life

• Read the complete text of The Nexus Quest parable
• See a definition of all 52 Insight Virtues
• Track your progress as you work on each virtue

The Nexus Quest is a simple parable written by Nathan Bryce which helps you learn more about temperament types and how personal and societal problems automatically resolve themselves as people acquire the virtues that are associated with each personality type.

This booklet carries the subtitle of "A Passport to the Good Life." As you use this booklet to learn about Blue, Gold, Green, and Orange personality types, and record within its pages your efforts at emulating their virtuous qualities and behaviors, you will gain access to the good life.

Whether at home or in the workplace, you will learn how to communicate with people in ways that accommodate their preferences. You will be able to lead and motivate even the most difficult to manage person to do what needs to be done. You will be able to teach learners in meaningful ways and provide just the right type of incentive and encouragement. You will be able to build deep levels of understanding that will enhance your relationships and elevate them to greater heights.

Because there are 52 virtues, you may want to begin by working on a virtue each week. Then, at the end of the year, you can go back and repeat the program to refine your attitudes and actions. Continue working on this process until you have turned all your vices into virtues. It will take a great deal of time—as anything worthwhile always does. Even though you may never achieve perfection, you will significantly enhance your life and improve your relationships in the process.

Use this passport as a log book or journal of your efforts. On its pages you'll find definitions of all 52 virtues and space underneath each definition where you can record your efforts at achieving them. For example, you may use the book to:

• Keep notes of attitudes or behaviors that you try out.
• Write down your successes and failures.
• Jot down the websites, books, or articles that have helped you acquire more virtue.
• Write down the names of people you know who already possess the virtue and ask them to be your mentors.
• Invite your mentors to monitor your progress and sign-off in the booklet after you have mastered it to their liking.
• Keep this book handy and use it a daily reminder of living a virtuous life.
• Host your own "Nexus Quest" presentations with groups of colleagues, friends or neighbors. Read the parable from the book, ask the accompanying questions, and invite the participants to join you on this quest.
