Leigh Angus writes about building a life on purpose, across eight interconnected parts of who you are. Author of Wellbeing by Design. No mysticism, no 7-step plan, no finished version of a self at the end of it: just what actually happens when several parts of a life start working together.
You've tried the morning routine. The gratitude journal. The meditation app. Some of it helped, a little, for a while. And underneath all of it, something still isn't working the way you assumed it would by now.
That's not a discipline problem. It's not a luck problem. It's a structure problem, and structures can be examined, and rebuilt, on purpose.
Wellbeing by Design is built on a single argument: wellbeing is structural, not just emotional. None of these eight dimensions sit in a separate box. Your relationship with money is never only about money. Your physical health is never only about your body.
The Companion Guide and the free Self-Check turn the framework into a year of small, weekly practice. Built for one person working alone, and just as easily worked through with a friend, a book club, or a small group.
The Companion Guide →Workshops and retreats built directly from the book's eight-dimension framework, for studios, retreat organisers, and small groups who want this thinking in the room.
Workshops & retreats →Research-grounded across cognitive and social psychology, behavioural economics, and organisational research, translated into plain language. Background in organisational psychology. Written without the mysticism this category usually reaches for.
