Chapter 17, Exercise 1: Try the Wanderer Tools

Read all about Wanderers, then turn to the last page of the chapter for the Scanner Tool Kit items that best help them. Try at least one of the tools, two if this chapter describes you.

Here are the Scanner Tools recommended for Wanderers:

  • Tool 1: Your Scanner Daybook on page 140
  • Tool 2: "Everything I Don’t Want" List on page 215
  • Tool 3: Letters from the Field on page 190

Tell us which tool(s) you chose and give us a review. If you found it helpful, you might also want to give it a page of its own in your Daybook. After you share your experience, read the rest of the comments and reply to a few.

Please be sure to subscribe to future comments on this exercise or to check back here on Wednesday evening or Thursday morning for new ones.

Use the Next link (up above the title) to continue on to Exercise 2: Picture a Wanderer Life Design and Career after you are done adding your comments.

Week 13: Are You a Wanderer?

We will read Chapter Seventeen, Are You a Wanderer? this week. It’s 16 pages. A Wanderer is one of the Sequential Scanner Types, the ones with ever-changing interests. Wanderers move from one unrelated experience to the next, but many of them are accidentally headed toward a dream they cannot imagine until they get there.

After we read Chapter Seventeen, we will try some of the tools that belong in the Wanderer’s tool kit and consider the life designs and careers that are a good fit. It’s much more important to discover, through trying them, which tools, life designs, and careers fit you than it is to stick a label on yourself, so check them out, even if you’re sure you are one of the Cyclical Types.

Here is what we will be doing this week:
