The content of this extensive, research-based, nonprofit educational site for lay and professional visitors is a rich combination of interlinked articles + worksheets, quizzes, and checklists + resource summaries. Many articles include awareness-raising "reality checks" to help focus you on how you feel about the ideas being proposed.

This page summarizes and links to all the discrete worksheets, inventories, quizzes, and check-lists in the site, organized by self-improvement lesson, Unless you seek to profit from these materials, you're welcome to download and use them at no charge, as long as you credit me and this site.
