For Readers of the Book

Everything the book said would be here.

The practice guides, the worksheets, the ongoing writing. Free, and yours. If you have just finished the book, start with the Nine Practices card.

Start Here

The Nine Practices.

Nine practices — one for each Point. Small enough to be performed weekly, sometimes daily. Deep enough to repay decades of attention. Begin with one.

The Nine Practices — Card

One page. All nine practices, their rhythms, and the tradition each one descends from. Print it. Keep it by your desk. Return to it for years.

The Nine Practices — Full Guide

Twelve pages. One practice per page: the instruction, the prompts, where it comes from, and what changes in you over the years of keeping it.

Guided Contemplations

Audio recordings of the meditations and contemplative practices I teach — the witness five minutes, the evening review, and others.

Coming — I am recording these
The Worksheets

The four pieces of actual work.

These are the exercises the book asks you to do. Printed, they are the difference between having read the method and having run it. Print them. Write on them by hand.

The Seven-Day Hunt

Seven days. Every instance. Five fields. Two rules: record everything, change nothing. Includes the day-eight analysis and the HALT columns.

The Swap Design

The five functions your habit is secretly serving, and the four conditions any replacement must satisfy. Fail one condition and the swap will not hold.

The Bounce Protocol

Write it now, while you are calm. Four moves, in order, run within twenty-four hours of a slip. Plus the witnesses you will tell. Shame thrives in secrecy.

The Environmental Walk-Through

Room by room, four times a year. The six laws — including the two almost nobody builds for: the social environment, and the architecture of meaning.

Essays & Letters

Stay in the work.

New writing as I produce it, and an occasional letter for readers who want to stay in the conversation about change and identity. No noise. Easy to leave.

The book is the map. Coaching is the guide.

If you have read it, done the work, and want the method run properly on your own life — that is what the ninety days are for.
