We Don't Know Yet

We both found extreme benefit by going through the first part of the program and in this episode the usefulness of the program will be explored in depth. For more information about the program, and to check it out for yourself, go to www.selfauthoring.com.

The program was made by Jordan B Peterson and a group of clinical and research psychologists who believe that writing exercises such as those presented on the Self Authoring Suite can help people confront their past, understand and improve their personalities in the present, and increase the chances that their futures will be meaningful, productive and healthy.

The Suite Helps individuals write out a life plan through 6 dimensions of life (health, mental wellness, family, career, education, and physical wellness).

The curriculum was tested on 85 students who were struggling academically at McGill University in Montreal, and the students' collective GPA rose by 29 percent in a single semester. In 2011, the Rotterdam School of Management at Erasmus University in the Netherlands made a portion of the course mandatory for incoming undergraduates. The result: a nearly 10 percent increase in GPA, a 15 percent decrease in dropouts, and the highest-performing cohorts in the history of the school.

The Future Authoring Program is designed to help you imagine your ideal future, three to five years down the road. What would your life be like if you could set it up in the manner that would be best for you?

Writing things down may unlock certain channels of one’s brain that are dormant, allowing individuals to attach true emotion towards their future goals.
