The Five Patterns — a Sage & Page companion
It's hard to remember accurately how you behave under pressure. Everyone has an impression. This gives you a number instead, which is the only thing you can compare with later.
Twenty statements, scored 0 to 4, covering the five ways things usually go wrong: reacting fast, replaying, needing to be right, taking on what isn't yours, and expecting the worst. You score it today in the white boxes, then again in three months in the gold boxes on the same sheet, and read the two sets side by side.
Then there's a page for each pattern: how it shows up, the first thing to try for a week, what to look for as it changes, and a plan to write for yourself.
Twelve pages, and you take it twice.
What's inside
- How to score it, and what the scores mean
- Twenty statements across five patterns, with boxes for now and for three months' time
- A five-day tally sheet, for counting instead of guessing
- A page for each of the five patterns, with one thing to try and one plan to write
- What counts as real change, and what to do if nothing moved
How it arrives
A PDF, emailed straight after you order. Print it and keep it somewhere you'll find it in three months.
Who it's for
Anyone who wants to know whether the reading actually changed anything. It isn't a personality test. These are habits, and habits can change.
This is a companion to Stoicism: 365 Daily Lessons, and it comes with The Practice bundle. You can also buy it on its own here.
This companion is for general self-improvement and reflection. It isn't therapy, counselling or medical advice.
We don't believe every book deserves your attention. We believe the right book can stay with you for years.
That's why every title we recommend has earned its place through our curation process — not because it's popular, but because we believe it offers lasting value.
