The ten areas
How much you value yourself and how you treat yourself, however well you’re doing.
Trusting that you can cope: when things go wrong, you know you can get back up.
Sleep, movement and food: the base of everything.
The number one predictor of a happy life, according to the longest study of happiness ever run.
Beyond the people closest to you: the need to feel part of something.
More than career or work: how much what you do every day really engages you.
Feeling calm and in control. That matters more than being rich or the number in your account.
How much you’re learning and getting better: finding out new things, building skills, feeling that you’re moving.
The room you make for fun and rest: free time, play, breaks, whatever recharges you.
Your connection with something bigger than you: gratitude, values, what you give to others and to the world.
2 · Priorities
Choose the two or three areas you want to focus on now. Not all of them: two or three.
What could you do this week to move the areas you chose up by just 1 point?
And what would you have to do to make them worse? Sometimes the opposite of what feels right gives you the clearest map.
🔬 The wheel comes from coaching (Paul J. Meyer, 1960s). It helps you find your bearings; it doesn’t measure anything. It shows you where things are out of balance and helps you choose where to put your energy. We chose these areas from research on wellbeing: close relationships are the number one predictor of a happy life in the Harvard Study of Adult Development (Waldinger & Schulz, 2023), and play and rest, which nearly every wheel leaves out, are what keep everything else going.
