The Map of Life

400 Decisions That Shape a Life

An interactive exploration of the choices that define us — from childhood through career, relationships, parenthood, and beyond. Part book, part web experience, part AI companion.

About the Book

The Map of Life maps out the 400 key decisions we all face across a lifetime. Some are small — what to eat, where to sit. Others are seismic — who to marry, when to quit, whether to forgive. This project captures them all in an interactive format that lets you explore, reflect, and compare your path with others.

The companion website brings the book to life with an interactive decision explorer, life timeline visualization, and AI-powered discussions through NotebookLM. It's not just a book you read — it's an experience you navigate.
