How To Map Your Way Out Of A Funk

In my previous life I was a bottom-up stock picker managing $2+ Billion. I also wrote a newsletter which I compiled with copy editor Crys Wood into 8 Times Up. 

The book shares what I learned from getting slapped around by the market and life, sometimes at the same time. One trick to making money is not to let the market bum you out. It'll cloud your judgement. 

So when wise and witty @thisiscryswood made a tool to guide people out of a funk, I knew it would be GOLD. Humaning is hard. We need all the help we can get. 

When we are blue, have the mean reds, or the belly achin' blahs, we get shut down and myopic. We get lost in the fog and forget we are not worms. We need a map. 

Crys' brilliant tool The Happy Map will lead you out of any funk, I promise. It's a printable template foldable into a mini zine.

Here's how it works: When you are in a good place, note ALL the things that always bring you JOY -- the books, songs, food, people, hobbies, and whatever else floats your boat. 

Print, fill out, and assemble the zine. Carry it around or tuck it away. The next time you're singing the blues, open your Happy Map and follow instructions. 

Your list of joyful things will guide you out of the fog of despair to a happier heart.
