Why all of this is free

Because a guide that will not show you its own advice is asking you to trust a cover. Everything on this page is the real text of the books — not a sample rewritten for a shop, not a teaser. If it turns out to be all you needed, that is a good outcome and you owe us nothing. If you want the reasoning behind it, that is what the book is.

The words to use

The Five-Part Request Frame

I'd like help with [what you want]. It's for [who], and here's what you should know: [context about your situation]. Please keep it [limits — length, tone, reading level, things to avoid], and give it to me as [shape — a list, a letter, a checklist, a plain explanation].

Questions people actually asked

If it just predicts words, how does it get anything right at all?

Because the writing it learned from was mostly accurate, so the most likely next words are usually true ones. Most of the time, prediction and truth line up. The trouble is only in the gaps, where the likely-sounding words happen to be false. That's why it's right far more often than not, and also why you never fully drop your guard on specifics.

The nine hundred days

The Caregiver’s Compass, day 1

Do the care inventory from Chapter 1. Walk through your person's day and mark each task: fine alone, okay with help, or needs a person. Just see it.

Plain English, word by word

Activities of daily living

the basics of caring for a body, bathing, dressing, eating, using the toilet, moving from bed to chair. What someone can and can't do here shapes the care they need.

And every book’s opening pages

The foreword and the whole introduction of all thirty, free, with nothing to sign up for. That is where a book decides whether it has earned the rest of your attention.
