# Book, Course & Live Program

How THC's I AM book, self-paced course, and live 6-week cohort relate to one another.

THC currently offers the I AM material in more than one format.

They share a common orientation toward awareness and self-inquiry, but they are not interchangeable.

## I AM: The Heart of Being (book)

Best for readers who want to encounter the ideas through reading, story, reflection, and contemplative inquiry.

## I AM: The Heart of Being: Self-Paced Course

Best for learners who want structured online lessons, guided practice, reflection, and self-paced progression.

## The I AM Program: Live 6-Week Cohort

Best for adults who want:

* live teaching
* weekly progression
* guided inquiry
* group context
* question-and-answer time
* daily-practice accountability
* integration support

The right format depends on learning style, depth, time commitment, and whether live interaction is important.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.theholisticcare.com/knowledge/the-i-am-program/book-course-and-live-program.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
