Open any career or business book and what do you see? Sterile white pages, endless bullet points, a linear ladder and the same overused quotes from “inspirational” figures everyone already knows.
It’s lazy.
It’s not very useful.
And it’s pretty damn boring.
You, the undefinable, deserve better.
Because if you are designing a life that lives beyond labels, you are no longer climbing a ladder. You are embarking on an expedition.
And what is the very first thing you see when you open an epic adventure like The Lord of the Rings?
Before you read a single word of the story, you see a map.
Because before you can navigate the unknown, you need to understand the landscape. You need to see the world you are about to step into.
That is exactly how I approached undefinable life design. I knew I needed to build a world that took you, the reader, on a journey.
Welcome to The undefinable Ascent.
This is the actual geography of your undefinable life.
I worked with my old running coach who is also an incredible illustrator to ensure the book feels less like a corporate instruction manual and more like an explorer’s field guide. It’s designed to be a beautiful, physical artefact you actually want to hold, write in and keep on your coffee table.
Great idea. If the aim of one's writing is not just to prove themselves, but to actually help others (in whatever form that takes), then making the content engaging is critical. Illustrations, analogies, frameworks, anecdotes - different means to make content come alive beyond words and lists.
