The methodology presented in The 'I Choose…' Framework integrates memoir elements with behavioral science. Sterner, who retired from corporate life at 47, structures his approach around three specific visual tools: the 'I,' representing the physical and mental foundation; the Sphere of Identity, which defines personal boundaries; and the Triangle of Self-Awareness, designed to balance logic, emotion, and lived experience. These tools are intended to help readers view every action as an investment in their own personal capital.

Beyond the initial volume, Sterner is currently developing a trilogy to further expand these concepts into community-based applications and health competencies. The author emphasizes that the core philosophy rests on the belief that individuals are their own most valuable asset regardless of financial status. The book, published by Balboa Press, is available in softcover, hardcover, electronic, and audio formats through major retailers including Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
