Four windows of knowing

Explore how Four windows of knowing works in this channel's material. The term is anchored in the Steve Schlafman episode of Every — Ep. 51, Prompt Your Way To Personal Growth — where Schlafman, a former VC and executive coach, walks through how he uses a ChatGPT subscription as a practical tool for personal growth [^b5ece131-b6dd-5800-8dc9-f7b4c9d794bd@0]. In the episode's framing, the distinct channels of inner work he feeds his model — Jungian dream analysis, integration of peak experiences, living records of therapy, and voice-first thinking — function as separate windows onto the same life, each supplying different raw material for a genuinely personalized AI coach. The channel's related chapter, AI Coaching and Personal Life, extends this idea into a buildable setup: a context-rich document that makes the model coach you specifically, a set of reflective practices (journaling, dream work, voice memos) to feed it, a cadence that keeps the relationship alive, and a clear-eyed map of where AI coaching helps, where it hallucinates, and where you still need a human in the loop. Use this glossary entry to trace how a single mental model — several distinct channels of self-knowledge, not one monolithic source — shows up concretely as prompts, workflows, and reflective practices across the episode and its chapter.
