The Polymath Library
Every book, field manual, workbook and toolkit, in one download.
The Polymath Experiment is eight stages of one way of thinking: learn, see, know, decide, act, adapt, create and integrate. Each stage has a book that explains why the method works and a field manual or workbook that gets you using it in an afternoon. The library is all of them, starting where the system starts, with The Polymath Bible: eight books, one per stage, and nine hands-on guides, foldered by stage, sharing one diagram grammar and one set of sheet numbers.
PDF only: one zip of 19 files, over 3,000 A5 and A4 pages, no printed copies. Taxes calculated at checkout.

Why the whole library
One method, used on every kind of problem
Most problems don't stay in one stage. A career change is a decision, a fear, a plan that meets reality and, in the end, a question about what a life is for. With the whole library, you can follow a problem wherever it goes, using the same diagrams and canvases from one book to the next.
Each book draws its examples twice: first as people saw their situation, then as it really was. Each field manual or workbook turns the method into six questions, eleven short units and pages to fill in.

Who it's for
Anyone who wants better ways of thinking about work, decisions, change and their own life, and would rather have the whole method than assemble it piece by piece. Examples involve health, money, work and relationships; they illustrate reasoning and are not professional advice.
