Bliss Identity - the step out of line Behavior Repertoire
Bliss Identity is a psychological concept that connects to a rare talent base: our human behavior capacity of self-irony, paired with free spirit and secret seeking.
We need business personalities that can outplay showboating, manipulation and grimness. If you want to break free from emotional and social straight-jackets, then playing with the strenghts of Your Bliss Identity can tell you when and how.
Becoming sensitive to the qualities of your Bliss Identity connects you to a healing power: You are set for unspoilt action in toxic business environments.
The Research behind
The psychological concept of bliss identity has been derived by Patricia von Papstein from the findings of face-to-face encounters with 172 startup founders, CEO´s and executives. She developed benchmarks to identify the existence and the quality of rebellious, paired with humorous, and secret seeking behavior talents in a single person or a team.
Let Patricia invite you to engage with your Bliss Identity by employing a smart trick:
slip into Bliss Identity personas!
The Bliss Identity Personas Universe
Think of a persona as an image, an idea, a face that you put on to represent yourself to the world. According to Swiss psychiatrist C.G. Jung, the concept of the persona serves to make an impression on others but as well as a shield to hide our true nature. If we act behind the hide-out of personas, it´s easier to explore and develop our unburdened, untamed, uncorrupted behavior potential.
Bliss identity plays with six different personas that support or oppose unconventional behavior. In the Bliss Identity personas universe there are two different types of personas that challenge each other.
- Our Bliss Identity persona allies are our inner Bliss Visionary, Bliss Maverick and Bliss Jester. Imagine them as the three graces or the three musketeers that activate playfulness, secret-seeking and free-thinking.
- Our Bliss Identity persona opponents are our inner Bliss Tyrant, Bliss Pretender and Bliss Sceptic. Imagine them as the three brutalities that poison you with nagging, an exaggerated opinion of yourself and bossiness.
The clue: Bliss Identity Personas celebrate creative clashes.
The Bliss Indentity Personas communicate with each other in us night and day. Things are really happening there. The creative clashes between the different Personas of your Bliss Identity make you experience and explore the possibilities and the limitations of your own Bliss Identity and that of your counterparts.
Imagine and explore:
- The three Bliss Allies fight with the three Bliss Opponents in us;
- The Bliss Visionary challenges the Bliss Pretender;
- The Bliss Maverick challenges the Bliss Tyrant;
- The Bliss Jester challenges the Bliss Sceptic.

a playground
and not a battlefield.
