As soon as you complete the Assessment, you’ll be directed to your customized Report of Findings that will help you prepare to get the most out of your Lifebook Session.
You’ll gain clarity on where you are in each of the 12 categories of your life. You’ll be able to identify where you need more focus and balance and, based on your results, we’ll make specific recommendations that will propel you toward the life of your dreams.
The Intra-Spect Assessment will also serve as a tool to measure your personal development over time. You’ll be able to quantifiably prove to yourself that you are learning, growing and moving in the right direction.
STEP 3: Complete the Concierge Questionnaire

STEP 4: Prepare to Create Your Personal Lifebook
COMPUTER
Please be prepared to bring a laptop computer with Microsoft Word installed on it.
Note – Mac Pages does not support the Lifebook Chapter templates.
* If you do not have your own laptop or MS Word, we have Surface Notebooks available to use during the Session. Please contact concierge@mylifebook.com as soon as possible to reserve one if necessary.
In addition to your printed Lifebook, you’ll receive an electronic version of the chapter files so you can update and edit them after your Session.
PHOTOS
You can customize your Lifebook and give it a powerful emotional charge by adding personal photos. Start selecting and organizing a collection of photos on the laptop you’re bringing or on a memory stick.
At a minimum, we recommend choosing 12 horizontal photos for the cover page of each of the 12 Lifebook Categories:
- Health and Fitness
- Intellectual Life
- Emotional Life
- Character
- Spiritual Life
- Love Relationship
- Parenting
- Social Life
- Financial Life
- Career
- Quality of Life
- Life Vision
Here are some additional tips, but you are free to personalize your Lifebook in any way that you like.
- Photos of yourself will be helpful in many of the Personal Life categories, such as Health and Fitness, Intellectual Life, Emotional Life, Character and Spiritual Life.
- Pictures of yourself with your lover, family and friends are perfect for your Relationship Categories.
- Nature photos or pictures of anything that inspires and motivates you can be great for a number of categories.
- You may also want to include photographs of the environments you love, places you’ve traveled or want to travel, and the things and experiences you want in your life.
If you don’t have many digital photos, don’t worry! We’ll provide you with high quality stock images and beautiful Chapter templates to get you started.
Keep in mind that you’ll be able to continue editing your Lifebook Chapters and can re-print pages after your Session. Your Lifebook is a dynamic workbook that changes as your life changes.
