The Self-Authoring Suite is a set of four online programs, designed to help you write
carefully and thoughtfully about your past, your present and your future. Each program presents you with a series of web pages that simplify the process of writing. Step by step, you will be presented with specific, relevant questions, each addressing some key element of your past, present or future, each accompanied by the contextual information necessary to properly answer such questions.

Each program requires careful thought, and takes several hours to complete. It is better to complete the writing over several days, partly so you have time to think, but also because sleep appears to aid the process.

You may choose to complete any or all of the four programs.

The Past Authoring program helps you write an autobiography, so that you can produce a well-articulated and deeply understood verbal account of your past life experiences. It asks you to break your past into seven epochs, to identify the important experiences of each epoch, and to thoroughly consider the positive and negative effects of those experiences.

The Present Authoring programs come in two forms. The Virtues program employs a comprehensive personality model, designed to help you identify your strengths and to capitalize on them more effectively. The Faults program helps you identify traits that have caused you trouble in the past, and to help you limit their destructive potential.

The Future Authoring program helps you formulate a comprehensive vision of the future, three to five years down the road, that would be best for you, and to transform that vision into an implementable plan. The program presents you with questions about key aspects of your life (including relationships, career, health, habits, interests), and guides you through the process of considering each, deeply and practically.

There is solid scientific evidence that such writing can improve your mental and physical health and help ensure that your life will follow an interesting, satisfying and proper course.
