An introspective fill-in-the-blank that helps readers reflect on their past, evaluate the present, and dream for the future. My Life Map helps people at any stage of life create a visual road map of both their past and their future in major life areas such as family, work, play, friends, and education. Charting the past highlights patterns you may not have noticed before. Seeing the years ahead encourages you to set goals and shape a future with intention and purpose. This interactive self-help journal includes innovative mapping and chapters on Creating Your Maps (warm-up exercises for envisioning your future and tips on how to fill out your maps); Sample Journeys (completed maps of fictitious people at different stages of life); My Life Maps (blank whole-life, ten-year, and subject maps to fill out); Putting Your Maps into Practice (tips and tools for establishing next steps and annual checkups); and Reflections (blank pages to record discoveries, challenges, or promises).

A practical, proven, hands-on program for discovering and using the true values and inner power that are the keys to a better, happier life What's the most important thing you will do in your lifetime? Make that first million? Raise a happy family? Find the cure for cancer? Each is a fine goal, but how do you know that it will bring you happiness? Bill Cohen, creator and teacher of a popular course called Life Mapping, shows us how to achieve personal fulfillment in our lives. In an era when it seems that few people take responsibility for their own actions, this book asserts that only by embracing responsibility can we find vital, satisfying answers -- and goes on to demonstrate step by step a practical program for identifying and removing the conflicts that separate us from our true selves.Developed over sixteen years, Life Mapping is an effective technique for determining our real beliefs and principles and then matching them to appropriate goals that support rather than undermine the integrity and spiritual power that is inherent in everyone. The author guides us through the entire process of creating unique, individualized Life Maps based on our own natures. Each one is different; this is no cookie-cutter prescription. But it isn't hard and it has already helped thousands to plan and organize their lives better, and find the balance and satisfaction that seem so elusive in the modern world.

In capturing this picture of your potential and holding it up as a beacon, your Life Map will help you define a vision of where you choose to go in life and supply a set of principles to help guide you there. An unchanging core in a fast changing world. The result will be a natural boost to your self-confidence, self-esteem and self-belief as your Life Map leads you to be pro-active in your attitudes, and effective in living your best life.

Drawing the Map of Life is the dramatic story of the Human Genome Project from its origins, through the race to order the 3 billion subunits of DNA, to the surprises emerging as scientists seek to exploit the molecule of heredity. It's the first account to deal in depth with the intellectual roots of the project, the motivations that drove it, and the hype that often masked genuine triumphs. Distinguished science journalist Victor McElheny offers vivid, insightful profiles of key people, such as David Botstein, Eric Lander, Francis Collins, James Watson, Michael Hunkapiller, and Craig Venter. McElheny also shows that the Human Genome Project is a striking example of how new techniques (such as restriction enzymes and sequencing methods) often arrive first, shaping the questions scientists then ask. Drawing on years of original interviews and reporting in the inner circles of biological science, Drawing the Map of Life is the definitive, up-to-date story of today's greatest scientific quest. No one who wishes to understand genome mapping and how it is transforming our lives can afford to miss this book.

Time and circumstances are keeping us from becoming the people we were created to be. We all need a way to filter out the unimportant activities and to identify the important activities that will lead us to the path to our best future. Admiral Bidcoff once said, “We live our lives as if we were involved in a series of disasters rather than in an orderly process to achieve the natural results we desire.” Life mapping is the orderly process that leads us to achieve the natural results we desire and deserve. The reward for investing your time in the creation of your Life Map can be better than any other use of that time.

This volume celebrates a fascinating variety of nonfiction known as life writing. This genre resonates quintessentially with the core of the humanities in its profoundly individual ways of fusing narrators with their narrative subjects. The book brings together scholars from around the world to explore the personal mapping of such narrators in the context of their cultural legacies. The hybrid fusions themselves form several subgenres that complement each other as they affirm human dignity and values and our need for human connection, felt at all times, but especially during times of globally met threats. The ever-expanding forms of hybridography here—along with testimonies, diaries, letters and journals—bear witness to how individuals have contrived to overcome their own traumatic sources of pain and suffering to discover joy and how to further map their pathways forward. The narratives not only communicate important information and aesthetic beauty needed to prolong troubled lives due to social anxiety or mental illness, but also challenge sociocultural issues involving stigma, migration, racial discrimination and persecution, human trafficking, and ecological concerns. Global in scope, personal in focus, and historically and culturally contextualized, the analyses provided here once again illustrate how much we have to learn from each other.
