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.
