About the book
Ever wondered why you repeat the same behaviours over and over again? Why you can’t help but react to certain people – and situations – in a certain way? Why you end up regretting how you’ve treated someone you care about?
It’s a problem we all face: Why do our behaviours fall short of our intentions?
This book is designed to help you understand your own behaviours and offers practical advice on how to shift them. It explains:
Consider it a health check of your character and the first step in your journey towards becoming the best version of yourself.
About the Indicator
The process outlined in ‘Above The Line’ is not about changing your personality – it’s about building your character. It will help you live out of Humility and Love (‘above the line’), instead of living out of Pride and Fear (‘below the line’).
From our experience, when people make this shift they: - Behave more effective, at work and at home - Are healthier, happier and less stressed - Feel better about their relationships.

At Heartstyles, we spend a lot of time thinking about 'the line'. Our founders, Stephen and Mara Klemich, have dedicated their careers to helping others get above it. But what exactly is this line? And what does it mean to be above it?
