Find your word

Finding your word is personal, because you’re the only one living your life. Sometimes my word arrives like a freight train and other times I noodle on it for weeks before it lands. Note things down wherever works best for you: a physical notebook, your Notes app, a voice memo, the back of an envelope. Nothing is collected here, and the only thing I’ll ask you to send is your word.

Try an exercise

A selection of exercises tailored to the way you think and work. Whether you’re a list maker, a walker, a talker or someone who thinks best with busy hands, there’s one here that sounds like you. Try one, try a few, or take them offline.

Browse some words

A collection of words friends and past dinner guests have carried through their years, from Survival to Joy. Use them as a spark, not a menu. Sometimes the right word is sitting right next to the one you thought you wanted.

Already have your word? Give it a quick gut check, or go straight to sending it.
