The Map Series

The Me Map Teens and Me Map Young Adults books won Coach Book of the Year 2021 in Hungary — a prestigious award given by the Hungarian Coach Organizations’ Association, representing leading national and international coaching bodies (including ICF, EMMC, Gestalt Association, and the European Coaching Association).

Each year, a professional jury selects the top coaching books based on quality, depth, and professional value, and the public chooses the final winner. The Me Map books stood out for several reasons:

• Outstanding professional content — many coaches call them “a treasure chest of coaching tools.”

• A unique, memorable way of teaching — short, clear explanations supported by powerful metaphors.

• Beautiful visual storytelling — Andrea Balazs’ illustrations make the content engaging and easy to understand.

• Impact for young people — the jury praised how the books bring essential coaching knowledge to teens and young adults in a format they genuinely enjoy.

This award confirms what readers already feel: the Me Map books are not just helpful — they’re exceptional.

The Me Map books help young people create their own personal “map” — a simple, visual way to understand who they are, why they think and feel the way they do, and who they want to become. Me Map Teens is ideal for ages 10+, Me Map Young Adults for ages 16+. and Me Map Adults for ages 18+. Me Map Kids coming soon!

Every exercise is about you — who you are today, who you want to become, and how to move toward your best future self.

You’ll find activities that help you map your current self, such as:

• identifying your strengths (Johari Window – Opening to My Character Traits, p.16)

• drawing your personal lifeline (My Journey Line)

• defining what truly matters to you (My Personal Values)

You’ll also explore your future self and your relationships, for example:

• using the Habit Shaper to finally build the habit you’ve been wanting

• taking the Relationship Quality Test to understand your connections better

• learning about Relationship Toxins and their antidotes 

• discovering or shaping your life goals (Goal Setting and Life Purpose

The exercises are simple, visual, and designed to help you understand yourself more deeply — and take real steps toward the life you want.

We Map books are beautifully designed journals that help two people connect, talk, laugh, and create a keepsake they’ll treasure forever. Each book guides you through fun questions and meaningful conversations so you can “map” each other — your stories, memories, thoughts, and the unique bond you share.

The first We Map series is created especially for parents and children, supporting deeper connection in the most important relationship of all. Research from Harvard shows that strong relationships make us happier and healthier, so these books make it easy (and fun) to build that closeness together.

The exercises are playful, varied, and surprisingly meaningful. You’ll do everything from listing similarities and differences, drawing your home together, and recording your lifelines, to writing a letter to your future self or creating a gratitude box for each other.

Each topic comes in a simple 2×2‑page structure:

• Pages 1–2: fun prompts and activities you fill in together, with clear guidance on who writes what.

• Pages 3–4: inspiring quotes to reflect on (“What does this mean to you? Do you agree? Why?”), plus space for photos and a follow‑up question.

The result is a beautiful mix of connection, conversation, and creativity — and a keepsake you’ll treasure for years.
