Life Atlas
Clarify Your Purpose. Map Your Future.
It's easy to drift.
To keep climbing the ladder you started years ago — next title, next rung, next win. It can leave you wondering if this is really your work. Is it the meaning and material of the life you imagined for yourself?
Life Atlas is a proven process that helps you step out of autopilot, discover what matters most, and build a plan around the life you actually want to live.

It's not an exaggeration to say that the Life Atlas process changed my life. Each step of the reflection process guided me to see patterns of what really matters so I could connect to the truth of who I am.

Is Life Atlas right for me?
Life Atlas is for people who are capable and climbing, but quietly unsure if the ladder is leaning against the right wall. You've tried productivity tools before. They treat you like a machine to optimize, not a human being seeking direction. Life Atlas doesn't hand you the destination — it helps you navigate your path and design your map.
If you're ready to get clear about what matters most, ditch the distractions, and make this year count — join over a thousand others who have said YES to Life Atlas.

I just got done with the first 3 sections of my Life Atlas and I believe that it has been the most impactful use of my time in my life (24 years). I was able to step aside from the distractions of my everyday life and do some true introspection. I found out that my life purpose is gathering knowledge and wisdom and that what brings me fulfilment is education (learning from others & teaching someone else). This is SO much different than what I thought I wanted my life to be about... understanding what brings me fulfilment has been such an incredible insight. I do not believe I ever would have come to this conclusion on my own without the assistance of this program and I am so excited about the upcoming year.

Truly realizing our potential while maintaining a sense of fulfillment is an ambitious goal. It's so easy to get bogged down in the endless quest for more without fully articulating why we are doing any of it in the first place. A Year of Full(er)* Living was critical in facilitating the discovery of my life's vision, what's truly important, and the "why" behind it all. So excited for the Life Atlas to expand on this experience.

Is the Life Atlas Planner included in the cost?
Yes, the Life Atlas Planner is included in the program cost and ships to you upon purchase!
Do you offer a student discount or need-based scholarship program?
We do, please reach out to us at hello@monkmanual.com.
How does the physical tool work?
The physical tool is a guided goals planner. Once you set your yearly goals, you are guided through creating personalized action plans for the upcoming 12 months. Every 90 days, you reflect and recommit to your most important goals.
Does the Life Atlas work with the Monk Manual 90-Day Planner?
Yes, seamlessly. The Life Atlas helps you set meaningful goals for the year and then breaks those down into 90-Day Action Plans. The Monk Manual 90-Day Planner, then, supports a regular practice of preparation, intentional action, and reflection—helping you maintain alignment between who you are and what you do every day. The Life Atlas has 90-Day checkpoints to reflect and recalibrate your action plans for the next 90 days.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. If you are not fully satisfied with your purchase, please send us back your unused Life Atlas planner and an email to hello@monkmanual.com with a request for a refund within 30 Days from the date of your purchase.
Can I do this with a group?
Sure can! We can set you up with a group discount rate as well. Send an email to hello@monkmanual.com, and we will put together a package that best suits your needs.
Are there bulk discounts?
Yes. See group information above.
Can the Life Atlas Planner be purchased separately?
All participants in Life Atlas are able to obtain additional physical copies so they can keep their Life Atlas process going year after year.
We are not offering the planner as a stand-alone product at this time. If you would like to purchase an additional membership and planner for a friend, send us an email at hello@monkmanual.com, and we will send you a one-time discount code for your friend.
Can I start the Life Atlas at any point in the year?
Yes. Similar to our Monk Manual 90-Day Planner, the Life Atlas is designed with flexibility in mind. We recommend starting the Life Atlas program when you feel most inspired and motivated to do the focused work of setting goals that align with your deeper purpose. For many that coincides with the beginning of the calendar year, but you can begin any time.
How is this different from other goal planners?
Unlike other goal planners, Life Atlas places an emphasis on the whole person and aims to help you prioritize your life’s purpose by focusing on both Being and Doing Goals. The mission of Life Atlas is to allow you to clarify your most important work, both internally through your Being Goals and externally through your Doing Goals. This approach encourages you to cultivate the actions and the mindsets that enable you to live more fully into your purpose and to do so in a manner that is deeply fulfilling.
Can I gift this to a friend?
Yes, the Life Atlas is a very intentional gift and can be a great resource for a friend or family member. The purchase of the Life Atlas also comes with lifetime access to the course. If you purchase the Life Atlas for more than one person, let us know! We’d be happy to provide a group discount rate for you and your friend. Email us at hello@monkmanual.com.
What is the difference between the Life Atlas and the Monk Manual?
The Life Atlas is a program that includes an educational journey and physical tool, whereas the Monk Manual is primarily a physical tool. In addition, the Life Atlas focuses on your yearly and quarterly goals and intentions, whereas the Monk Manual is a system for staying aligned within those quarters.
The Life Atlas gives you a framework that encourages you to think about your life holistically. We find that being intentional about setting both Being Goals and Doing Goals for each year guides the way you approach your months, weeks, and days. In other words, the Life Atlas is a place for deep reflection that leads to intentional goal planning, while the Monk Manual is a daily planner that enables you to thoughtfully and consistently prioritize your life goals.
Do I buy access to the online content every year?
No. Once you purchase the program, you have access to the online videos for the life of the program.
I am new to the Monk Manual Community, should I begin with the Life Atlas or the Monk Manual?
You can start with either. The Monk Manual is going to help you maintain healthy rhythms and focus on a day-to-day basis. The Life Atlas helps you zoom out and establish the routines, habits, and big-picture priorities that direct your life. If you want to reset your daily rhythms and re-establish clear life goals, start with the Life Atlas, and then use the Monk Manual to help you stay true to your big picture goals on a consistent basis.
How do you recommend approaching the training video content?
As soon as you register for the Life Atlas program, you will gain access to the course content, and your Life Atlas Planner will ship to you. We've designed the six modules to allow you to go at your own pace, but we recommend setting aside longer periods of uninterrupted, distraction-free time to enable you to get the most out of the lessons. The training videos are designed to help you fully engage life's meaningful questions as you goal plan for the upcoming year. Therefore, to make sure you get the most out of the program, we recommend completing all six modules within a week or two.
