Free for iPhone and Android. The book’s tools, in your pocket.
Most people who read a book like this one finish it meaning to do something, and then do nothing, because the book contained forty suggestions and the good intentions faded within a month. The app exists to remove that problem. It carries the book’s practical apparatus so that you can measure where you start, choose the few practices that matter most to you, and see, in ninety days, whether the numbers moved.
Measure where you start
The book’s four self-assessment worksheets, on your phone: the Well-Being Baseline, the Foundations Audit, the Happiness Drains Checklist, and the Signature Strengths Reflection. The app keeps your dated scores, highlights your lowest foundation and your highest drain, and shows the change when you repeat the assessment.
Keep the practices you choose
Every chapter’s practices, as daily or weekly habits you can switch on: the gratitude note, the walk when the day turns, the weekly progress journal, the day set apart. A simple score tells you whether you are keeping up.
Meditate with a timer built for the book
A timer that follows the instructions in Appendix C, keeps running when your phone locks, and ends with a bell.
Carry every chapter’s In Practice
The essential recommendations from all twenty-nine chapters, without the book in hand.
Your first thirty days
The app walks you through Appendix A, the book’s thirty-day starting plan, one week at a time: sleep and one walk, then the first thought practice, then your single costliest drain, then someone else and a look back.
Coming soon to the App Store and Google Play
Free, no account required, no advertising. Your data stays on your phone unless you choose to sync it. Leave your email and we will tell you when it is ready.
The app is a companion to the book, not a substitute for it; the chapters carry the evidence and the reasoning behind every practice. Nothing in the app is a substitute for professional medical or psychological care.
