The writing assignment costs $30, and it’s basically a self-help book with less information. It gives you a bunch of quizzes and lets you pick 2 to 10 interesting items. And then it gives you the same three questions for each item:
1 – What happened to cause a crisis?
2 – What could you have done different in that specific crisis?
3 – In general, how can you be better?

There’s no analysis, no answers other than the answers you provide for yourself.

He’s an interesting guy. I’ve been watching his Maps of Meaning lectures on Youtube. Very good. Some people say they learned a lot or it changed their lives. I’m not learning a huge amount new but the new stuff is very high quality.

His new year’s message http://jordanbpeterson.com/2016/12/new-years-letter/ contains a lot of stuff that I wouldn’t normally take too seriously, but since it’s coming from him I give it more consideration. Same goes for this “Authoring” suite. I’d want to see more before I paid for it though.

Positive thinkers have been extolling written affirmations and success journals and gratitude journals since the 19th century.

Positive thinkers are not always happy with the results of positive thinking diaries.

If this research adds anything new, I know a whole lot of less-than-enthusiastic positive thinkers who will be willing to put a lot of effort into this.
