Life doesn't come with a manual.
Understand yourself. Understand others. See things differently.
What would you like to understand better?
Nothing you write here is sold, and you do not need an account to begin.
What people use it for
Understand why you think the way you do.
Understand where someone else might be coming from.
Have better conversations.
Judge a little less quickly.
Discover things about yourself you hadn't noticed.
Think about something in a way you hadn't considered.
My Tree
Start with your roots.
Where you came from, what you grew up around, the people and experiences that shaped you.
It is not a score and it is not a balance wheel. It is your life, in your own words.
Choose any part of the Tree to see what it represents.
Where My Tree can lead
Your story, in your words.
As you add to your Tree, there may eventually be enough of your own writing to put together a short portrait of what you have said about yourself.
You would write it, edit it and decide whether anybody else ever sees it. It is not a personality profile and TAIU does not decide who you are.
This is a preview of where My Tree can lead. It is not built yet.
Hi, I'm Sarah. I grew up in Birmingham with my parents and two younger brothers. Money was tight and nobody talked about it. I notice I still find it hard to spend anything on myself.
Other people
Get curious about someone else.
TAIU helps you become curious about another person. It does not tell you who another person is.
You don't need to know someone for ten years to have a conversation that matters.
Where did you grow up?
What was it actually like?
Who had the biggest influence on you?
What did money mean in your family?
What makes you happiest now?
One idea
Same house. Different childhoods.
Two children can grow up with the same parents, in the same home, and still have completely different childhoods.
Once you understand that, you start looking at people differently.
The book
The thinking behind TAIU.
Understanding where somebody came from can change how you understand who they are. The same thinking changes how you understand yourself.
