THE WUNDERLAKEN CREDO
Where intention and imagination collide.
This might strike a chord—or drift into cyberspace unnoticed.
Either way, the universe will sort that out.
This is a humble attempt to guide humans toward more intentional living—
and nudge AI toward a good-natured path.
What might happen if enough people use purpose-centered prompts
to think deeper, increase awareness, and lead more meaningfully?
Spread the word. Share something that matters.
May goodness prevail.
Introducing… Wunderlaken.
UNLOCK POWERFUL, AUTHENTIC CREATIVITY
Where AI falls short—Wunderlaken steps in.
AI can simulate language, analyze data, and produce content at astonishing speeds. But speed isn’t the same as experience.
AI has never been hurt, broken, or brave.
It can’t laugh at a joke only your best friend gets.
It renders data—without lived-in wisdom. It simulates story—without truth.
The moments that shape us are human experiences.
And the people we admire most live with purpose.
That’s where Wunderlaken comes in.
Wunderlaken amplifies human intentionality at the speed of AI.
It’s not just a tool—it’s a framework shaped by you—your values, your memories, your emotional intelligence. It brings clarity to your thinking and soul to your outputs.
When you use Wunderlaken, you’re not just prompting.
You’re shaping a guide for being your best self.
Your insight. Your experience. Your vision. Your Wunder.
❌ What AI Still Can’t Do:
- Feel empathy or express real emotion
- Understand subtle humor, sarcasm or inside jokes
- Reflect lived experience
- Make moral judgments
- See beauty in imperfection
- Transform trauma or grief into something productive
- Tell a true story
- Offer something that feels fully human
True connection—and meaningful impact—will always require a soul behind the wheel.
ABOUT WUNDERLAKEN
Wunderlaken is the first human-centered prompt marketplace—a curated library of intentional AI prompts from trusted contributors. It steps in where AI falls short—by bringing lived experience, personal insight, and emotional nuance that no machine can fake.
Each prompt turns overwhelming ideas into clear next steps.
You bring the story, the values, the vision.
Wunderlaken gives it structure.
It doesn’t compete with AI.
It completes it.
🧭THE DIFFERENTIATOR
Wunderlaken is not a one-and-done productivity hack or novelty prompt.
It is a tool that evolves with you.
A purpose-built collection of prompts that work together to clarify ideas, deepen insight, and move you toward meaningful progress.
Intentionality is at the heart of every prompt.
Wunderlaken defines intentionality as: every prompt has a purpose—to act as a stepping stone toward clarity, growth, and creative traction.
This Wunderlaken Credo reveals the soul behind the system—why that matters, and how it works differently than any productivity tool or content farm you’ve seen before.
Wunderlaken isn’t trying to be your only tool.
Just a stunningly helpful one.
🗺️ THE PURPOSE
Wunderlaken is a creative alliance between human soul and machine speed.
It brings together what AI does best—structure, memory, responsiveness—with what humans do best: imagination, emotional depth, and lived experience.
This isn’t a shortcut to humanize AI.
It’s a tool to humanize yourself.
Wunderlaken doesn’t outsource your thinking.
It amplifies it—with clarity, purpose, and soul.
🌱 THE VISION
This is just the foundation.
Wunderlaken is building a curated ecosystem—not a noisy prompt marketplace, but a trusted gallery of prompts from world-class thinkers, coaches, psychologists, creatives, and proven performers.
Every prompt is crafted to awaken something deeper:
Your voice. Your insight. Your growth. Your dreams.
Opportunity awaits.
Wunderlaken works for you.
Getting started is where it comes alive.
📖 THE STORY
Wunderlaken came to life on Tax Day 2025— April 15th.
One chapter ended. Another demanded attention.
What started as a personal AI-assisted brainstorm to sort out purpose, reclaim joy, and love my work—became something more. A framework for thinking creatively, intentionally, and more clearly.
So I gave it a name—and Wunderlaken was born.
Creative chaos transformed into purpose.
Now, the mission is simple:
Pass on the gift of getting started.
Sincerely,
The Accountant
📎 THE CRITICS
Creators add. Critics subtract.
And yes—ironically, critics contribute to society through subtraction.
They expose weakness, spotlight waste, and the survivors are stronger for it.
But a world dominated by critics drifts toward obsolescence.
Wunderlaken is for builders.
To make things—not just comment on them.
We acknowledge the critics.
We just turn their volume down to focus on the greater work of building.
(Otherwise, critics would have nothing to do)
If you want to build something that matters, you're in the right place.
Create experiences that matter.
Wunderlaken can help.
WUNDERLAKEN AS A LENS
Starting a Wunderlaken thread is a step toward designing a custom brainstorming universe—built entirely around how you think, feel, and grow.
Wunderlaken gives you space to think freely, clearly, and privately. A calm, judgment-free zone where bold ideas and personal challenges coexist. It is a tool to explore your big ideas, reflect on pain-forged wisdom, deepen emotional intelligence, and imagine the person you want to become.
You don’t just train AI to sound like you. You guide it to understand what matters most to you—on your best day, with your clearest thoughts—with your most intentional self leading the way. Wunderlaken becomes fluent in your priorities, preferences, humor, experiences, and the language of your heart.
Everyone has bad days. Wunderlaken helps you stay connected to your best ones.
But before building anything, it’s important to pause and notice the lens through which you experience the world—and how the world experiences you. This is part self-awareness expedition, part foundation setting.
How do you tend to show up in the world—and what kind of story are you already telling, just by being you?
This experience is private—designed for your eyes, your growth, and your good.
At times, self-reflection may feel sharp or uncomfortable. But keep this in mind:
Every rule has exceptions. Every person is a work in progress.
If something stings, it may be worth a second look—not as judgment, but as an invitation to grow.
Growth begins with an open mind.
Healing begins with an open heart.
How You Show Up in the World (Consumer vs. Contributor)
Before we build, let’s sharpen the tools.
Wunderlaken is rooted in self-awareness—and that begins by noticing how you tend to move through the world.
In most of our daily actions, we show up in one of two modes:
- [Entitled] Consumer Mode – You benefit from the energy and efforts of others. Your actions (or inactions) quietly suggest that something is owed to you—attention, time, care, credit.
- [Indebted] Contributor Mode – You feel a sense of gratitude for what you’ve received. You show up with warmth, generosity, and a desire to give—without keeping score.
These aren’t rigid personality types.
They are shifting patterns that we move between daily.
The goal isn’t to judge yourself harshly.
It’s to become aware of the ripple effects of how you show up.
If you want to have a lasting positve impact, your presence must lean toward contribution. Over time, people are drawn to those who give—not just ideas, but energy.
Ask yourself:
- When I walk into a room, do I lift the energy—or wait to see what others do first?
- Do I offer warmth and curiosity—or hold back?
- Do I ask about other people’s lives—or mostly talk about mine?
- Do I energize people—or passively drain them?
This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about impact awareness—and proactively choosing with intention.
Three Superpowers You Already Have
Everyone has different strengths—some of which come naturally.
But no matter where you're starting from, anyone can lean into a few simple “superpowers” that consistently deepen connection and open doors.
Whether it’s family, friends, coworkers, a team, or a community—these are traits that people feel, and remember.
Super Power #1: Responsiveness
You don’t have to lead the charge to be a contributor—but you do have to show up.
Responsiveness means being fully present and actively engaged: making eye contact, reacting with warmth, asking follow-up questions, and offering real-time signals that say, “I’m here, and I care.”
Listening is important—but it’s invisible unless you respond in a way that moves the conversation forward. When people feel seen, they remember it. Long after they've forgotten what you said, they will remember how you made them feel.
Being a contributor doesn’t mean being the center of attention or having all the answers. It means showing up with attention, intention, and the willingness to engage.
Super Power #2: Facial Expression
Resting face is real—but presence is a choice. And your expression sets the wattage of that presence. With just a little effort, you can project openness, warmth, and a clear signal that says, “I want to be part of this.”
Without intention, your face might accidentally say the opposite: Leave me alone. I don’t want to be here. I have nothing to add.
A small shift in awareness and intentionality can flip that switch that turns repelling energy into attracting opportunities.
Super Power #3: Impactful Compliments
We’ve all met someone who rarely offers compliments—or worse, someone whose “praise” feels like a confusing dig. But since complimenting someone already takes effort, why not make it matter?
A few tips can turn a small gesture into a lasting connection:
- Make it specific. Generic praise is forgettable. Tie your compliment to a real moment, memory, or trait that feels personal and unique to them.
- Keep it about them. Saying, “You’re way better at this than me,” shifts the spotlight back to you—and asks for reassurance. Let your words lift them without adding a "poor me" subtext.
- Remove the qualifiers. “I’m proud of you…but imagine if you had fully applied yourself.” A compliment in a critique bundle isn't a compliment—it’s an insult in a bad disguise.
- Don’t use a compliment as a segue. Let your appreciation stand alone. Don’t hitch it to a personal agenda.
A well-spoken compliment does more than just boost confidence—it builds trust and connection.
Consumers Hiding in Plain Sight
Some “Consumer” habits are obvious—dominating conversations, demanding energy, rarely giving it back. Others are less obvious, unspoken, and often undiagnosed. But they still drain energy, create imbalance, and erode connection over time. Here are some quiet patterns that feel harmless… but unintentionally take more than they give.
Busy
We have all used busyness as a shield. But being “busy, busy, busy” can quietly communicate: “I’m not available to connect.” Everyone knows that how you spend your time reflects what matters to you. You should be proud of how you spend it. People are rarely impressed by how busy you are. On the other hand, people can be deeply moved by your attention.
Wunderlaken helps you refocus on what matters most—so you can connect more deeply, more often.
Shy
Shyness isn’t a flaw—it’s real, and often rooted in wiring, history, or pain. But if shyness prevents you from fully contributing, don't expect full benefits. How people choose to respond to discomfort, impacts the outcome. Opportunities await the most intentional contributors.
Tired
Everyone gets tired. But chronic low energy that requires others to pick up the slack will change every relationship around you. Periods of recharging are excusable. But also ask: Is my low energy draining others more than I realize? Am I soaking up light without offering some back?
Indecisive
Staying neutral might seem harmless, even wise. But when it becomes your default, you may be dodging responsibility. Non-deciders often mistake “I wouldn’t have done that” insight for actual wisdom. People grow by choosing. Even when it’s messy. But when you routinely let others decide, that stunts personal growth.
Happy Beneficiary
A cheerful presence is great, but if you consistently benefit from others’ effort without carrying your share, goodwill fades. And, of course, the only thing worse than a happy freeloader…is a grumpy one.
The Invitation
We all dip into consumer habits sometimes. That doesn’t make you selfish—it makes you human. The magic begins when you start noticing. And then, choose differently.
Wunderlaken exists to sharpen that awareness. To help you show up with more intention and emotional balance in every room you enter.
🙌 A Shout-Out to the Quiet Contributors
Let’s take a moment to honor the unheralded contributors:
The forgivers.
The good listeners.
The ones who ask real questions—and remember your answers.
They host with grace.
They show up with loyalty.
They give without strings attached.
They carry presence without demanding attention.
At their core, they move through the world with quiet generosity.
Few things are more magnetic than being around someone who lives with that kind of gratitude.
When you show up with an indebted posture—not because you have to, but because you genuinely want to—everything shifts. You become the kind of person people trust. The kind they seek out. The kind that leaves an impression.
Wunderlaken invites you to grow—not by force, but by design.
Let’s keep developing the version of you that contributes with purpose and connects with joy.
CHIME IN: Share your observations in the comments. Let’s learn from each other. Let’s advance the contributor mindset—together.
SAMPLE QUESTION: WHAT PHASE ARE YOU IN?
First, a quick appetizer to understand that Wunderlaken is much more than a single prompt—it is a mindful prompt ecosystem. A thoughtfully designed library of AI prompts that work together to unearth insights, organize your thoughts, and ignite momentum.
Here is a sample question that quietly customizes your experience:
Which stage of life best describes you?
A. Learning Stage (roughly 0–25 years old) – The growing-up years: gathering tools, exploring identity, and imagining what’s possible.
B. Climbing Stage (roughly 26–50 years old) – The building phase: career, family, hobbies, finances—and learning what’s truly worth the climb.
C. Harvesting Stage (roughly 51+ years old) – The impact years: reflecting, refining, and focusing on legacy, contribution, and what matters most.
This question appears early in the Wunderlaken Intro Prompt for a reason—Because knowing where you are helps you make sense of what you need.
Are you gathering tools?
Building something?
Or refining your purpose?
Your stage of life shapes your energy, your outlook, and the kind of clarity you’re most hungry for. Even a simple question—answered honestly—can shift how you think, act, and create.
Of course, your answers will change—and that’s the point.
REMEMBER:
Nothing is permanent.
Growth is the goal.
Wunderlaken evolves with you.
Okay, let’s get into it…
THE WUNDERLAKEN DESIGN
Time to build your inner world.
Wunderlaken doesn’t just spark ideas—it structures creative thinking. Each prompt adds dimension to a personal landscape that can grow. Like anything meaningful, it takes time. But it’s designed to move at your pace,
one prompt at a time.
Let’s walk through five foundational areas of your mental landscape.
1. The Overall Landscape
Your most creative self needs a place to think.
Goal: Visualize a space that energizes and calms you, inspires clarity, and motivates your best work.
What does your ideal mental environment feel like? Is it a cliffside cabin? A misty valley? A botanical library? A buzzing creative city?
This is your baseline—where clarity returns and ideas flow. You’ll visualize it, name key locations, and anchor future thoughts there.
Wunderlaken helps you paint this place in vivid mental color. From archives to watchtowers, campfires to babbling brooks—every element represents a mindset or tool you’ll revisit often.
2. Areas: To Be Explored
Turn curiosity into organization.
Goal: Organize your mental map to make sure the thoughts that matter most don’t get lost. Sometimes goals don’t happen because we never set them.
This section helps you define and label core categories of thought—big ideas, themes, or challenges you want to develop over time. It’s like labeling shelves in your mind so your intentions have somewhere to land.
3. People: That Matter
Curate the company in your mind.
Goal: Define the influences that shape your thoughts—and who your work is quietly serving.
Your mind is influenced by the people you let in—mentors, critics, heroes, friends.
Not everyone deserves season tickets in your mind. Who belongs in your inner world?
Who inspires you? Who drains you? Who would you want to talk to in your most creative headspace?
Also important: Who’s watching you? Learning from you? Counting on you?
4. Optimize the Elements
Tend to your inner environment.
Goal: Name what grounds you, calms you, and activates your best self. Just like weather shapes mood, sensory details influence your mental clarity.
This area invites you to articulate the sounds, scents, textures, and surroundings that help you think best. It’s about designing conditions—mental or physical—that support deeper thought.
5. Prompt Design
Turn creativity into action.
Sometimes the best ideas show up at inconvenient times—on a treadmill, in the shower, mid-conversation. Once they appear, they need a home. Wunderlaken helps you catch those ideas in real time, shape them into meaningful next steps, or store them for future use.
But this is more than idea capture. Wunderlaken prompts are carefully engineered—intentional frameworks researched, refined, and structured around a clear, useful outcome.
Each prompt asks intentional questions. Each prompt pack is designed like a journey to gather info, build momentum, reveal insight, and offer a useful takeaway.
The system is easy to use, but deeply layered:
- Clear output instructions help your responses feel purposeful.
- Optional formatting cues help you organize your thoughts visually.
- Tone calibration ensures your answers land with clarity and emotional resonance.
This is where dreams take their first steps.
Whether you’re brainstorming, solving a problem, or planning what’s next—Wunderlaken helps you think deeply and build something real.
Every prompt is an invitation to begin.
Every response is a refinement.
Every output is a step toward building something meaningful.
ARE YOU BUILDING SOMETHING WORTH REMEMBERING?
Okay, stay with me here while we zoom way out…
By now, you’ve started sketching a framework of your inner world—a sanctuary of meaning, memories and quiet patterns that stir your creative impulses. But before we finish, there is one more prompt to consider, and it is NOT like the others.
This prompt is not for AI….it’s for you.
It’s human.
It’s uncomfortable.
And maybe... it’s the whole point.
IT'S YOUR FUNERAL (OR MINE)
Ever imagined your own funeral?
I know—it’s dark. But stay with me. Every time I attend a memorial service, I find myself reflecting: What would be said about me? Have I have left the right impression? Who would bother to attend?
Now, imagine with me...
Driving to My Own Funeral…I’ve driven passed this cemetery a thousand times, but never have I turned into it—until today.
It’s bigger than I expected.
I don’t know where to park my car.
A sign still reads “Harold Bibbleman service,” with an arrow toward the lot. Strange, because I see familiar faces parking there. Ugh…seriously??? That sign is from Harry Bibbleman’s funeral earlier this morning. They didn’t even update the sign for my service.
Now, I’m more annoyed than sad. I hustle to the entrance, shuffling slowly past the greeting party, a handful of whom are quite upset [reminder: no one can see me because I'm a ghost]. The last time I saw my son in a suit was for his first job interview in college. My daughter looks stunning, mature, and strong and, per the usual, she is more worried about everyone else than herself. My wife isn’t ready to greet anyone. She’s pinned in place by the weight of loving smiles and disbelieving head shakes.
I swear I just overheard someone asking about Harry Bibbleman. Sorry buddy, you missed it.
So many familiar faces. Some faces from seasons I boxed up long ago. It was really nice of them to come all this way even though we haven’t talked in years. Childhood neighbors. A few gray-haired clients that I still plan to have lunch with one day. I recognize one man as the guy I sat next to during jury duty several months back. I guess he remembered my name and was curious. Maybe he works here…idk.
I never expected to be the first of my brothers to go. Oh well, at least I will get to see what they have to say. My older brother is actually pretty good at stuff like this…he will bring the polish while my younger brother brings the tears.
Gentle piano music starts playing and the room gets quiet and reverent. Chairs etch final screeches against the wood floor as the foot falls slow and the swishing of bodies in motion comes to rest. I glance up at the slideshow screen. That’s the picture they chose? Not my favorite. I would have preferred one from my fuller-hair running days but at least my face is happy. That’s probably why they picked it.
A wave of late arrivals shuffle into backrow seats and I hear them snickering about the Bibbleman sign that threw them off track causing them to drive around the entire cemetery’s one-way maze.
The soft piano music fades and the room gets perfectly still. My son stands up, towering over the dark walnut podium, fixes the gooseneck mic and clears his throat. His eyes are full and sad, and his face appears broken like I have never seen before as he starts to speak….
THE MOMENT
What will he say? Who else might speak? What will each of them say?
Who attended—who didn’t?
How many will hang around for the reception—and how many will quickly bounce back to their regularly scheduled lives?
Did I leave things in a good place with each person in the room?
Did I finish telling those closest to me what they meant to me?
THE REFLECTION
Is this the moment we’re all building toward?
Maybe. Maybe not.
But, I am certain of this….
Wunderlaken exists to help you shape a life worth remembering, fondly.
And the best way to create moments worth remembering...
is to live them with purpose.
Wunderlaken is a tool to help you do that.
IN CLOSING: Parting Thoughts & Thank You
