What Tree Are You?
A transformative journey into your natural wiring — and your true potential. A self-realization method grounded in metaphor, science, and lived truth.
What Tree Are You? is a groundbreaking guide that helps you understand how you are wired — the natural patterns, instincts, and emotional roots that shape your decisions, strengths, and challenges. Through six deeply relatable tree personalities, you discover who you truly are beneath conditioning, comparison, and guilt.
But this isn’t a book that simply defines you. It frees you.
By learning how to borrow strengths from other trees while staying true to your core, you create Hybrid Power — a way to grow naturally, confidently, and without losing yourself. This is the clarity every human deserves.

Benefits beyond the page
Most people believe growth requires becoming someone different. This book challenges that belief.
It starts with understanding your natural wiring — the patterns shaped by your experiences, your logic, your emotions, your pace, your energy, and the way you interpret the world.
Your tree personality reveals:
-
Why you respond to life the way you do
-
Why some goals feel natural and others feel forced
-
Why certain habits drain you
-
Why you compare timelines
-
Why guilt shows up — even when you’re doing your best
Using the simplicity of nature, the book introduces six tree personalities that mirror human emotional structures. You discover your dominant type — the one shaped by your inner programming — and then learn how to integrate strengths from the others.
The Six Tree Personalities
🌳 Mango
Warm, expressive, emotionally open. Driven by heart-centered motivation.
🌲 Teak
Disciplined, structured, focused. Thrives in order and precision.
🎋 Bamboo
Flexible, resilient, adaptive. Moves with life instead of resisting it.
🌸 Cherry Blossom
Creative, intuitive, sensitive. Feels deeply and sees possibilities others miss.
🌿 Sandalwood

Understanding your type is the beginning. Learning from all types is the transformation.

"I really enjoyed Akila's excellent book. I appreciated her descriptions of the various types of personalities, hybridity, and personality change over time and within various contexts. I also appreciated the practical advice embedded within the book, for example: "If people fall in love with your flowers, but not your roots, they won’t know what to do when autumn comes. Real connection isn’t about admiring who you are when you’re blooming. It’s about staying close even when you’re shedding, shifting, and growing new branches. " and her summary of how working with mental states impacts physical health and longevity.
I feel Akila accomplished a lot with this book and appreciate her efforts."
