Notes

Notes on books, concepts and topics outside the modelling work, each one pointing at the Google Doc that holds the material.

Reading notes and topic notes from outside the modelling work. The material itself is written in Google Docs and stays there; these pages say what each document holds and link to it. Sharing is set per document, so a link may ask for permission.

Notes on pharmacometrics practice are in the Learning Guides, and checklists for the modelling work are on the Pharmacometrics Tools page.

Topics

• Wisdom. The documents on meaning and on the tools for living, and the book notes that sit alongside them.
• Parenting.

Books

• Designing Your Life. Burnett and Evans on treating a career as a design problem rather than a search for one right answer.
• The Problem of the Puer Aeternus. Von Franz on the adult who keeps life provisional, and on work as the way out.
• Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life. Hollis on the second half as its own task.
• Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior. Trungpa on basic goodness, and on bravery as facing yourself without deception.
• Way of the Peaceful Warrior. Millman on training as a way of living, and on there being no ordinary moments.

Concepts

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Workability rather than truth as the test applied to a thought, and the six processes of psychological flexibility.
• Internal Family Systems. The mind as a set of parts, the protective role behind a destructive behaviour, and the Self that does the work.
• Fear-Setting. Ferriss’s three pages: the feared outcome, how to prevent and repair it, and the cost of inaction.
• Boundaries.
• Negotiation.

Movies

• Stutz. Tools to be used at the moment the difficulty arrives, and the three conditions Stutz says cannot be escaped.
