SAGINAW, Mich. - s4story -- Stephanie Mason has launched a groundbreaking framework in her new book, "7 ING energy Types: From Quirks to Strengths." The book answers a fundamental question: Are identity and purpose actually two separate problems? The answer is no. Published in October 2025 by TSMI Publishing, this framework reveals how millions of people waste their lives struggling with identity AND purpose, not realizing these are the same answer.

Research shows 57% of adults wonder monthly about finding more meaning. Another 21% think about it daily. Yet most self-discovery resources treat identity and purpose as two separate journeys. Mason's work occupies unique territory by asking "Who are you?" and proving this question also answers "Why am I here?"

ING energy is your core identity in motion. The dynamic way your deepest self shows up in everything you do. Mason's framework identifies seven distinct ING energy types: perceive ING, serve ING, teach ING, encourage ING, give ING, lead ING, and mercy ING. The system emphasizes three measurable dimensions: Measure (natural capacity), Mastery (developmental effectiveness), and Maturity (motivations). This helps people understand not just who they are, but why they do what they do.

Early reader response has been overwhelming. The book launched to immediate 5-star reviews on Amazon. Jace Binder shared: "It felt like someone was finally helping me translate the way I move through the world. I learned why certain situations drain me while others light me up." Jennifer Hartman wrote: "This book alone has given me more clarity than years of other resources combined."

According to market research, 81% of adults believe there's an ultimate purpose for every person's life, yet most remain unfulfilled despite external success. Mason addresses this: "The Disillusioned Achiever is a real phenomenon. People achieve externally while feeling empty internally. They need permission to stop fighting themselves and start living as their Truest Self."

The model moves readers through a clear progression: first, a free ING energy assessment on ingtypes.com; then the book for deeper understanding; finally, a comprehensive online course offering complete ING energy profiles with all three M's scores.
