The process entails searching the Wikipedia page of the Outline of Academic Disciplines for a given field. From there, you simply choose a number arbitrarily under the parent branch from which to build out a subject area. Material related to life self-development and life philosophy can be added to a section within Applied Arts & Sciences, for instance (5411 – Self-Development).
