The Life Map Workbook | A two-book structured self-investigation
$38.95
Two books, 237 pages in A4 and 257 in US Letter, one protocol for finding out who you actually are and what to do about it.
Most self-investigation fails for three structural reasons. It relies on what you say about yourself, when you are an unreliable narrator about yourself specifically. It treats personality as one thing, when it is at least six. And it collapses what damaged you and what it built in you into a single story, in one direction or the other.
This is built against all three.
Book 1: Starting Point
110 pages A4. Three to four weeks. Lower intensity, designed for solo use where none of the Part 8 stop criteria apply.
Eight structured inputs with a summary sheet that holds the whole profile on one page. The calendar and money audit, the fourteen-day log and the witness interviews. Seven orientation stages covering reality, identity, energy, strengths, limits, values and environmental fit. A ten-section self-portrait built only from things you can evidence. One thirty-day experiment with the conditions set before day one.
Book 2: Depth and Excavation
127 pages A4. Eight to ten weeks. Heavier, and the book says which sections need company.
The ten adversity categories and the eighteen-schema sort, framed by safety. Schema deep maps, attachment narrative work, and a parts map. The hidden talents translation, which holds damage and capacity in two columns and refuses to add them up. The full life story interview. The seventeen-section Life Map. The complete experiment system with three outcomes, decision trees, scripts and a ninety-day review.
The offline companion tool
One HTML file. Double-click it and it opens in your browser.
It administers and scores all three public-domain scales with the reverse-keyed items handled for you. It runs the fifteen forced-choice value pairs and counts the wins. It turns the calendar and money audit into percentages. It runs the fourteen-day log and the end-of-log analysis. It checks what your witnesses recognised against what you predicted they would. It sorts your eighteen schemas. It locks your experiment metrics on day one, and if you unlock them later it records that and shows it next to your verdict.
It runs entirely on your own computer. No internet connection, no account, no analytics, nothing sent anywhere. Search the file for "http" and the only matches are the crisis-line links.
What it deliberately does not hold is the writing. The schema maps, the attachment narrative, the parts work, the life story and the Life Map stay on paper. So do the ten adversity categories, which belong in the book where the safety material sits around them rather than in browser storage.
What is in the download
Both books as print-ready PDFs, in A4 (237 pages) and US Letter (257 pages). Both as editable Word files in both sizes. The companion tool.
Eight book files in total, so you can print in your own paper size and type into the same book if you would rather not write by hand.
Who this is for
People who have done the reading and still cannot answer the question. People whose transition has gone on too long. People who suspect their own account of themselves.
Who this is not for
Anyone in crisis. Anyone who wants a type or a fast answer. Anyone hoping to be told they are already on the right path.
What it will not do
It is not therapy and does not replace it. It does not diagnose. It will not resolve in a season what took decades to build, and it will not tell you what to do with your life. But it will bring more clarity about your next steps.
