Being. A design code for life.
Being. equips individuals with a tool to determine ‘how to be’ in any life situation.
Being. was forged in the minutes after being diagnosed with cancer and having to inform family in a constructive manner. Being. guides users to select the words that best describe ‘how’ they want to be in a particular situation to cultivate a disposition. Life throws unexpected challenges our way everyday, yet there is a small space between a happening and our response in which we get to choose ‘how’ to be. Being. focuses the mind on imagining a positive future self. Many life circumstances are completely beyond our control, but we can always choose ‘how’ to be. It’s the closest we can get to free will - even in our last breath.
Being. A design code for life, has been developed as a box of prompt cards and a digital app (free to download)
