INSIDE THE WORKBOOK

One tool for every step of the book.

It starts as a printable PDF. A bound print edition is planned for later.

PART ONE · RECOGNIZE The Voice Attendance Sheet Take attendance of the six kinds of voices in your head and see who has been voting without permission.

PART ONE · RECOGNIZE The Criticism Sorter Sort what you hear into received, perceived, and personal criticism, so you know what deserves a response.

PART TWO · UNDERSTAND The Story Separator Pull apart the event, the interpretation, and the identity before a bad moment turns into a verdict.

PART THREE · SURVEY Survey Your Land Name your values and your ladder of value, the benchmarks you measure every critic against.

PART THREE · SURVEY The Filter Card Source, independence, evidence, expertise, incentives. A pocket card for the moment a voice shows up.
