Human Design

A book for every person

Most books on Human Design assume you already know the language. This one doesn’t. Nicholas Caposiena writes for the reader who’s been handed a chart and wants to actually use it — at work, at home, in love, in the body.

Across twelve chapters, you’ll move from the basic structure of the BodyGraph to the lived daily practice of your Type, Strategy and Authority. Every concept is grounded in examples drawn from real coaching work, and every chapter closes with a small practice you can try the same day.

This is not a system to believe in. It’s a mirror to use.

1. A short history of Human Design
2. The BodyGraph and how to read it
3. The four Types and their Strategies
4. Inner Authority — the decision body
5. The nine Centers, defined and open
6. The Profile and its 12 roles
7. Channels, Gates and Circuitry
8. Variables and the PHS
9. Daily practice for every Type
10. Relationships across designs
11. Children, parenting and design
12. A life-long practice

“Finally a book about Human Design that I could hand to my mother. Clear, embodied, and never preachy.” — Elena, 5/2 Generator

“Caposiena writes like someone who’s actually lived this. The chapter on Open Centers alone is worth the price.” — Marco, 4/6 Projector
