The Ten Types of Human: Who We Are and Who We Can Be by Dexter Dias is a powerful exploration of human behaviour, ethics, and potential through real-life stories and psychological insights. :

1. We Are Not One Fixed Self: Each of us contains multiple "types" of humans within — such as the Rescuer, the Aggressor, or the Nurturer — which emerge depending on circumstances. Understanding this helps build empathy and self-awareness.

2. Environment Shapes Behavior: Human actions are heavily influenced by social, political, and psychological contexts. Rather than labelling people as “good” or “bad,” consider what conditions led to their actions.

3. Empathy Is a Skill: The ability to see others' perspectives isn't fixed — it can be cultivated. Practising empathy helps break down prejudice and fosters more compassionate societies.

4. Resilience Can Be Learned: The Survivor type teaches us that people can endure immense trauma and still find ways to rebuild and grow. Resilience isn't just a trait — it's a set of learned responses.

5. Our Moral Compass Isn’t Perfect: The Judge type reveals how biases, emotions, and flawed reasoning can distort our sense of justice. Recognizing this can help us make fairer, more rational decisions.

6. Small Acts Have Big Impact: The Helper type shows that small, everyday decisions — to support, speak up, or intervene — can significantly affect others’ lives. Moral courage often starts small.

7. We Can Choose Who We Become: Ultimately, we are not trapped by biology or upbringing. By understanding the "types" within us, we can consciously choose to cultivate the best version of ourselves.
