Life Discovery: Biography, Journey, Program (and a possible book, Part 1)

Three metaphors for the Life Discovery Project and a possible book

The Life-as-Project Approach is inspired by Project-oriented Activity Theory, Anticipatory Systems Theory, Curativity Theory, and other theoretical resources, it was developed with the following six basic principles:

• Being by Doing
• Engagement as Projection
• End as Means
• Discovery as Development
• Performance as Experiment
• Curativity as Creativity

In the past six months, I applied the Life-as-Project approach to Life Discovery Activity and developed a series of tools such as a toolkit, a canvas, and several models and frameworks.

I also joined the following three Life Discovery Projects:

• Shaper & Supporter Lab: I am a researcher.
• The AAS Board: I am a coach and a service designer.
• The Slow Cognition Project (Phase I): I am a creator.

This journey is documented in many articles I wrote in this publication. Today I will reflect on the journey and outline a TOC for editing a possible book.
