Patent ID: 8597028

Claim:
A method for facilitating personal development using a computing device by providing non-transitory machine-readable instructions on a tangible medium to perform steps, comprising: a) generating a machine-readable foundation profile by performing sub-steps, including: i) querying a user through a user interface module of a computing device in regards to facts about themselves including their false beliefs; ii) providing a user access to an education module and a discovery module through context relevant links during a querying process; iii) storing answers to queries in association with a user as a foundation profile in a memory storage module of a discovery module of a computing device; and b) guiding a user through a process of issue resolution by a module that performs sub-steps, including: i) querying a user in regards to a specific situation, storing answers to such queries as a machine-readable situation profile; ii) teaching a user in regards to taking responsibility for their feelings, querying a user about their feelings in regards to the situation profile, and storing answers to such queries as a machine-readable feeling profile associated with the situation profile; iii) teaching a user about having an intent to learn by displaying media related thereto on a computing device; iv) managing a self-dialogue within the user by displaying, on a display device, an answer stored in the feeling profile, querying a user about the displayed answer, querying a user about the actions and beliefs that are associated with the displayed answer, and teaching the user techniques for productive self-dialogue; v) managing, through a computing device, an inner guidance dialogue within the user by teaching the user techniques for productive inner guidance dialogue, displaying an answer stored in any one of the foundation profile, situation profile, and feelings profile, querying the user about solutions associated with the displayed answer, suggesting a plurality of actions, and storing a representation of an intended action as a machine-readable action profile; vi) facilitating, through a computing device, a user taking action by displaying an intended action from the action profile, and teaching the user how to productively take action; and vii) facilitating self-evaluation by the user of the effectiveness of a taken action by teaching the user about effective actions, and querying the user about the feelings resulting from the taken action.
