A multidimensional personal development method and system are realized using defined experiences. The system and method include defining different facets of a user's state of being and different subfacets within these facets, defining and tracking different experiences that impact on the facets and subfacets, enabling the user to record evolving perceptions relative to the experiences and applying the evolving perceptions to compute and present indicators that summarize the user's momentum relative to the facets and subfacets. The system and method are adaptable for implementation in both server-centric and client-centric system architectures.
