The Wheel of Life is a coaching tool that maps satisfaction across multiple life domains (career, health, relationships, finances, and others) as a visual "wheel" to show where life is well-rounded and where it is flat. It is widely used in coaching but lacks independent clinical trial evidence; its value is as a structured self-awareness and conversation-starter tool rather than a therapeutic intervention. - Track your wheel scores over time to see trajectory, not just snapshots
