Purposeful FIREWorkbooks
Self-reflection workbooks for the questions that come after leaving a career. Written by Dr. Yoendry Torres, licensed clinical psychologist and founder of Purposeful FIRE. Education, not therapy — but built on the same research he'd draw on in an actual session.
A two-part series
The Identity Clarity Workbook asks whether you still recognize yourself. The Meaning Rebuild Workbook asks whether the life you've confirmed still feels like it matters. Both are worth doing. Neither substitutes for the other.
The Identity Clarity Workbook
For anyone whose sense of self was tied to a job, career, or role — and who's trying to find it again.
'Who am I now' isn't one big question. It's four smaller ones: Do I still feel like me day to day? Do I still feel good about myself? Do I still feel capable? Do I still feel like a specific person? Once you know which one you're actually stuck on, you know what to do about it.
The Meaning Rebuild Workbook
For when life technically checks out — but doesn't feel like it means anything in particular.
Meaning isn't one thing. Researchers split it into three separate questions: Does my life make sense (coherence)? Do I have somewhere to aim (purpose)? Does any of it matter (significance)? Each question gets its own set of exercises. Nine total, three per pillar.
