An index of the personal Google Docs on meaning and on the tools for living, with the book notes that sit alongside them.
Writing that lives in Google Docs rather than on this site. Each document is edited in Google Docs and nothing is copied here. Sharing is set per document, so a link may ask for permission.
Documents
- Meaning.
- Life Tools, learned in Pathways.
Book Notes
- 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. The second half as its own task rather than a decline from the first.
Other Notes
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Workability rather than truth as the test applied to a thought, and the six processes of psychological flexibility.
- Parenting.
