Warriors, Settlers & Nomads

by Terence Watts

Are you a Warrior? Are you a Settler? Are you a Nomad? Identifying your predominant personality-type changes the way you approach life. If you know yourself and, equally important, if you understand other people, you can confidently tackle your career and your personal relationships knowing exactly where you are coming from and what everyone else is seeking. Warriors, Settlers & Nomads presents a revolutionary framework with which to comprehend your own needs, and the needs of others. Based upon the concept of evolutionary psychology, it reveals the determinants at the core of our characters -- those very skills and psychological attitudes that we have inherited from our ancestors. Teaching us how we have all retained features of three ancient tribes -- the Warriors, the Settlers, and the Nomads -- this book guides us through revealing personality tests and detailed descriptions of each tribe trait, allowing us to identify our specific type -- the basic mould from which we are produced -- and to appreciate the wisdoms and strengths that up to now have lain dormant inside us. A guide to self-discovery and self-liberation, Warriors, Settlers & Nomads utilises powerful hypnosis and visualisation techniques in a programme designed to release our hidden potential. A fascinating and revelatory read, it provides unique personal growth strategies that enable us to discover who we really are.

Outstanding concept, theory and insight into human behaviour!

[michael baker · Rating 5 out of 5]

Over the last forty years I’ve read more self‑help books than I can easily count, but Warriors, Settlers and Nomads by Terence Watts immediately stood out.

The opening alone stopped me in my tracks: a bold exploration of our genetic origins, referencing archaeologists who claim to have pinpointed the very cave in Africa where our ancestors lived 100–150,000 years ago.

Even more striking is the assertion that every one of us is descended from this small group of early humans who, remarkably, shared the same DNA profile we carry today. Quite a claim — and an irresistible one.

From there, the book continues to fascinate. Each chapter draws you further in, blending psychology, evolutionary ideas, and practical insight in a way that keeps your attention firmly hooked.

It’s one of those rare self‑help books that feels both fresh and deeply rooted in something bigger than the usual motivational fare.

I am certainly going to continue referencing the chapters and use some of the techniques offered to enhance my life, I might even do a further reference later to update anyone who is interested.

Such an interesting book, that combines scientific and psychological ideas to make a plausible theory.

Will definitely use the techniques from this book to help myself progress through into the future.

Interesting read, was surprised to find out I am a 'warrior', but as I read it made more and more sense!
