There are a few different types of entries (or cards) you'll see on this wiki:

Icon cards explain, well....other cards! You'll see icons used across this wiki in the top right hand corner. These icons mark whether the content handled in the card is an ACTION, QUALITY, CYCLE, or VALUE - more about these categories are in the red icon card themselves. Organizing concepts, articles, and sketches in this way helps create some much needed clarity around how we can use lofty ideas in service of embodying thrivability in the world! Originally, these categories come from the 2010 Thrivability Sketch.

Recommended Reading

Books may be a thing of the past, but that doesn't mean they can't also be a thing of the future ;) When you see a beige card you'll know it's a book recommendation. These cards will have all the information you need to find a book, and enough of a description to tantalize you into full-blown reading.

Articles

Sometimes brilliance can't be chunked down. Green article cards contain full articles that are so dang thrivable, you simply must read the whole thing! Not every long-form piece we love is here in this wiki as an article, though. For a more complete compilation of books and think pieces, see our referral list and recommended reading cards.

Sketches

Thrivability has a past. The set of blue sketch cards is a collection of previous efforts from 60 contributors from different fields who came together in 2010 to frame the field. They describe actions, qualities, cycles, and values observed to contribute, big time, to thriving. But, the sketch is still a living entity! Through our salons and conversations, we'll continue adding sketch entries together as our community grows! Learn how to use the wiki to contribute to sketch cards.

Core Concepts

What would a wiki be without a hearty set of concepts for us to grapple with? In addition to sketch cards, purple core concept cards lay out crucial bits on information and ponder-worthy nuggets for us to metabolize in conversation. Bonus points for connecting these concepts to your being-in-the-world and spotting them in articles!
