Asla is technology to help you understand your own experience, feel connected, and grow. Start with Ren, our free journal that turns your days into a book of your life.

Asla helps you make sense of your own life.

We build technology to help you understand your experience, feel connected to yourself and others, and grow. It draws on evidence-based psychology, made something you can practise yourself, so you reach your own answers instead of being handed them.

Technology to empower humans, not replace them.

Make sense of it.

Understand your own experience, clearly.

Feel connected.

Meet yourself with compassion, and see how others are living something similar.

Grow.

Find your way forward, and keep what you learn.

Start here: Ren

Make sense of your days. See how others are living theirs.

Ren is our free journal. Each day, you write what is on your mind, and Ren helps you make sense of it. You can also read other people's stories, shared anonymously, and see how they are living something similar. Over time, your own entries become a book of your life. Private, free, and yours to keep. It is the easiest way to start with Asla.

Two ways in. One method.

Ren

Free

Turn what you are going through into something you can look at, and make sense of. Ren helps you find self-compassion for yourself and empathy for others, in a private, supportive space.

For making sense of your days, one entry at a time.

The Reset

A six-day course

Take one thing you have been avoiding and run it through the method, once, all the way. By the end, the method is yours to use on your own.

For when you can name the thing, and you are ready to work it through.

In beta. We are early, and looking for people who want to help shape it.

WHAT IT'S BUILT ON

Evidence-based psychology, made something you can use yourself.

Asla builds on well-established, evidence-based psychology, the kind used in professional coaching. We apply technology to make it accessible, so you can practise it on your own life and reach your own answers.

01

Understand

The ideas, made clear.

02

Ask

Questions tailored to your situation, so you reach your own answers.

03

Practice

On your own real life, until it is yours.

This is a skill you keep. It makes every other kind of support, a coach, a mentor, the people around you, work better.

Who's behind Asla
Portrait of Lan, founder of Asla

Who's behind Asla.

I spent fifteen years building and running companies (BCG, a Harvard MBA, CEO of a product used by three million people), then trained in the methods behind real change (104 hours of ICF-accredited training) and studied the psychology and neuroscience of mental health at King's College London.

I did not invent the method. What was missing was access to it. So I build software that helps you make sense of your own life and grow. Ren is the free journal, the easiest way in. The Reset is the six-day course, refined with more than 200 people around the world.
