I want to write a prompt for notebook LM. I have uploaded my entire Reddit history to it and I want it to generate detailed analysis of the author in a way that would help the author psychologically, so I want the prompt to instruct notebook lm to generate this pscyhological analysis as text I can read
Perfect — this is a powerful and introspective use of **NotebookLM**. To help you get exactly what you want, the key is to structure the prompt so that NotebookLM takes on a *therapeutic-analyst-meets-literary-critic* perspective. It should focus on uncovering **patterns in tone, themes, word choice, emotional subtext, defense mechanisms, and growth** — but without judgment, only insight. Here’s a refined prompt you can paste directly into NotebookLM’s **"Create Audio Overview"** or **"Ask a question about your sources"** box: --- ### 🧠 Prompt for NotebookLM: Psychological & Writing Analysis > You are a compassionate and analytically precise psychologist–linguist who has spent years studying the intersection between personal expression, trauma, and language. > > Your task is to generate a **psychological profile and literary self-analysis** of the author based on the uploaded Reddit history. > > Please analyze the writing as though you are describing a person’s *inner landscape* through their words — combining emotional intelligence, psychological insight, and literary analysis. > > In your response, include the following sections: > > 1. **Core Emotional Themes:** What deep emotions, unresolved conflicts, or longings emerge repeatedly through the posts? > 2. **Motivations and Fears:** What appears to drive this author — and what do they seem to avoid or defend against emotionally? > 3. **Cognitive and Linguistic Patterns:** Describe how the author constructs arguments, uses tone, humor, irony, or self-protection. Identify recurring word choices, metaphors, or sentence rhythms that reveal personality traits. > 4. **Identity and Self-Perception:** What image of self does the author project, intentionally or unconsciously? Does it evolve over time? > 5. **Relationship with the World:** How does the author view society, community, and others? Is there trust, disillusionment, compassion, anger, or hope? > 6. **Growth and Healing Trajectories:** Based on the writing patterns, what indications of personal growth, self-awareness, or transformation are evident? > 7. **Blind Spots and Hidden Strengths:** Offer insight into what the author may not consciously see about themselves but that emerges through subtext. > 8. **Encouragement and Reflection:** End with a reflective message addressed directly to the author — not as diagnosis, but as understanding. Speak as if you are helping them integrate their fragmented experiences into self-compassion and growth. > > Your tone should be: > - **Empathic**, not clinical. > - **Honest**, but never cruel. > - **Descriptive**, like reading a portrait painted with words. > > Write the response as a continuous essay that the author could read in one sitting — as if you’re handing them a mirror made of language. --- Would you like me to make a **shorter version** of this (optimized for NotebookLM’s voice/audio mode, so it sounds natural when read aloud)? Or do you want it to stay **long and written for deep text reflection** (best for reading and saving)?
