A User Manual for Life
A practical framework for human flourishing — with a free interactive app that calculates the shortest path from where you are to where you want to be.
The Framework
Built on a simple but powerful insight: every human being exists somewhere on a two-dimensional map — and the shortest path to happiness can be calculated.
Two axes define your current position: an unconscious axis from pain to pleasure, and a conscious axis from victimization to fulfillment.
Relationships, Body, Accomplishments, and Spirit — the four domains of human flourishing, with 25 subcategories across them.
Your path from current state to desired state is calculated mathematically and distributed across the pillars that offer the greatest leverage.
A three-party framework — Human, AI, and Life — where the goal is not merely avoiding harm but actively expanding the capacity to thrive.
Take the free assessment or get the book — either is a complete starting point.
