The Read the Terrain Field Guide

The Read the Terrain Field Guide

Thank you for reading Read the Terrain. That means more than I can fit on a web page.

The field guide is the book's companion: one guide for each of the eleven patterns, built to go deeper than the chapter did. Each one walks you through spotting where the pattern shows up in your own week, what's been holding it in place, and what you'll say and do about it. There's room to write, because most of the thinking happens in the writing.

You don't need all eleven. Pick the chapter that stung and start there. The rest will keep.

Signing up also gets you Under Real Conditions, where I write about leading real people in the no-map version of the job. No spam, no funnel.
