Numerology for Decoding Behavior: Your Personal Numbers at Work, with Family, and in Relationships
Using numerology to reveal behavior patterns in order to work through them
• Shows how to find anyone’s personal challenges and greatest strengths
• Presents simple numeric exercises that use the first vowel and first consonant of a name and the birth month and day
• Reveals how this method of numerology can be applied by managers, educators, health professionals, sales people, and parents
Numbers and letters are the blueprints of our lives. By studying the patterns they create--whether it’s a name, an address, or a date--we can learn more about ourselves, others, and how to best interact with those around us.
Providing simple numeric exercises that use only the first vowel and first consonant of a person’s name and their birth month and day, Michael Brill shows how to identify anyone’s reactive and proactive behavior patterns--along with their underlying causes--to prevent and resolve interpersonal issues as well as recognize and change our own negative personal tendencies. Combining numerology with psychology, he explains the connection between the first name and behavior at work, the middle name and social-emotional patterns in relationships, and the last name and family dynamics. Illustrating how this information can be applied by managers, educators, health professionals, sales people, and parents, he reveals how to find anyone’s personal challenges and greatest strengths through their Achievement Number as well as how to use this number for a more accurate understanding of an individual’s behavior patterns. Offering extensive examples, interpretations, and exercises, he reveals how recognizing these facets of our behavior is the first step to working through our negative patterns and effecting personal transformation.

Numerology for decoding behavior by Michael Brill
Historically prognostication of a person’s past, present and future has been divined through many methods by all cultures. However, to read a person on a deeper level one of the simplest and easiest methods used is the use of numerology. Numerology is based on the mathematical premise and formulations that everything in life including our life path, name, personality traits and family dynamics is controlled or determined by the numbers of our birth dates, relating the letters of our names with numbers, inserting into a mathematical equation and achieving a resulting set of numbers to be interpreted and used to guide a person in life.
One book that clearly and concisely explains the numerology system and outlines how to determine the path of your life is Numerology for Decoding Behavior by Michael Brill. What makes Michael Brill an expert on the topic of numerology is his extensive working background in numerology; he has worked in the field since 1985 with various businesses, schools and government organizations. He is also the author of other books on the subject of numerology and they are: Numerology for Healing and Know your numbers, Know yourself.
In this book, author Michael Brill has expounded on the mathematical system known as numerology by applying methods used in a system he created called cosmic numerology. Cosmic numerology is used for specifically discovering the archetype of a person’s life using the numbers from their date of birth and the letters (with corresponding numbers) from a person’s birth name and insert into formulas devised by Mr. Brill. This system can also be used if a person is adopted or uses a nick name. Mr. Brill also posits that the results of these applied mathematical equations can lead to a deeper understanding of specific behavior tendencies and the latent causes for those behavior patterns. Spanning the topics of achievement numbers (which are used to determine your core issues in life) to determining karmic numbers, this book should be considered as the user’s guide for the soul.
Written in an easy to read and understand format; this book is replete with samples examples and comprehensive explanations of the results. Towards the end of the book there is a chapter which brings all the separate aspects of cosmic numerology together so the reader will see exactly how the whole system of cosmic numerology works. The resulting numerical answers can be interpreted and the use of this system can be applied in all areas of life especially, at the work place or at home with the family. Also included in the book are several worksheets to be filled in by the reader as they work along with the book.
I would highly recommend Numerology for Decoding Behavior by Michael Brill; this is a great spiritual self help book for those desiring to find out what motivates them, what holds them back and how to affect positive changes in their lives and relationships by addressing all the negative issues within them.

Un piccolo libro con un paio di pregi e tanti difetti.
I pregi riguardano il 'Numero di Conseguimento' e la 'Sfida delle prime vocali e consonanti', MA – ed è un _grosso_ MA – vengono presentati come se la carta numerologica dipendesse da quelli, a discapito di tutti gli altri Numeri personali presenti in ogni libro di numerologia che si rispetti (tali Numeri qui non vengono neppure citati, e l'autore insiste oltre modo – fino allo sfinimento, oserei dire – sull'importanza del 'Numero di Conseguimento' e della 'Sfida delle prime vocali e consonanti', in un tono che mi azzarderei a definire "auto-celebrativo"). L'altro pregio è la sua interpretazione dei 'Piani dell'Espressione', che differisce da quella canonica riscontrabile in altri libri, e che può essere integrata con quanto trovato altrove.
Tra i tanti difetti, uno spocchioso anglo-centrismo: secondo l'autore si può p.e. applicare la sua analisi della 'Sfida delle prime vocali e consonanti' ai nomi dei paesi per spiegarne i problemi (e trovarne fantasiosamente delle soluzioni), ma non tiene affatto conto che i nomi dei paesi cambiano a seconda della lingua adottata per identificarli. (Questo stesso difetto si manifesta in maniera assai più grave nell'altro libro di Brill: «Numerology for Healing: Your Personal Numbers as the Key to a Healthier Life», nel quale "analizza" – termine quanto mai improprio qui – malattie e disturbi sulla base del loro nome in inglese, senza tenere conto, p.e., che è solo in inglese appunto che il "morbillo" si chiama "measles". Per la cronaca, ho gettato via tale libro senza neppure tentare di rivenderlo, perché lo ritengo carta straccia).
Il rapporto qualità/prezzo è infelice: un prezzo troppo alto per un numero di pagine troppo basso e per i contenuti esigui; meno auto-celebrazioni, meno ciance su quella che l'autore chiama la "sua" 'Numerologia Cosmica' e su come funzioni la materia a suo parere, e maggiore spazio dedicato alle tanto osannate 'Sfide delle prime vocali e consonanti' avrebbero reso il libro certamente più gradevole e gli sarebbe valso una recensione meno velenosa.

Not so sure I like my results but they seemed consistent with what I've heard before:)
