All About Me: The Story of Your Life: Guided Journal

I had my mom fill this book out before she lost her mind to dementia. It's fun to see answers to questions that I never thought to ask her when she was alive and it's nice to show to future generations who barely knew her or only knew her "at the end".

First, I must say I am in no way affiliated with the author or Publishers of this book. I just love it! I purchased this book as a part of a self-discovery process and I can't speak highly enough about it! It was referred to me by a highly respected therapist in my area, and I loved it so much I bought several copies of the book to give to others, who also gave me great feedback. The book has multiple formats of asking questions. I find this particularly effective because one format does not necessarily work for everyone. There are true and false questions, fill in the blank questions, multiple choice, etc. The font is large enough, and the pages short enough, that I never felt overwhelmed when reading / filling out the book. In fact, on the contrary, it was so much fun, I had to use discipline to keep myself from trying to complete the book in one sitting... Which I do not recommend. Some of the questions require deep thought... Make sure you take the time to do just that, and give quality answers. You'll look back later and be happy you did. Another suggestion I have four people is to look at the book one year or two years later and read your answers. Sometimes it's surprising how much you've changed. I found it beneficial to buy another copy a few years later and fill that one out, and I plan to continue this process. It's very interesting to go back and read my various answers throughout the years in my growth process. Definitely a quality use of time and money - order it today!

It helped me learn a lot about myself I didn't really have a grasp on at first. It's def a good book to work with

I would’ve given five stars, however it arrived with a dent., the outer box was not dented at all…

This book is exactly what I was asking for i'm just sad that the pages and questions had to end.

I had gotten one of these as a gift around 8 years ago, and loved filling it out. Its so fun to now go through and compare my answers. Recently I bought this again, and this time bought two. I filled one out 'all about me' and left the other blank. I've just given both to my boyfriend as a gift. So he'll be able to read all of mine, and fill his own out. (I did this with the intention of letting me read his... but we'll see! His birthday is in a few days!) Love this book and its so fun to fill out. There are a few things that maybe you wouldn't want 'children' to fill out, like some sex questions. I would probably buy myself or adult partner one first before buying it for a younger person. Just so you can look through first. There are 'teenage' versions, however I haven't looked through those. Its a great idea to fill one of these out every few years, so fun to see how we change. Love it, and it came quickly, well packaged and no damage whatsoever. Great sender and I would buy again!

Smaller than expected. Should have read more carefully.

Great journal! I have been struggling to put pen to paper for months now and this has offered an excellent solution and guide to my dilemma. Whether you are looking to get back to writing, need some reflection or healing, this is a spectacular item for yourself or a friend. A mix of thought-provoking and simple questions, it does a great job of detailing one's life. The mundane facts of daily life are gathered just as well as the exciting episodes. My reservations- Though the writing areas can be a bit narrow, I have no real complaints. It does ask some questions that can be overly personal, but that is why this book should be kept private/safe anyway.

今の自分について書いておくことは 少し面倒な質問もありましたが とても良いことでした。 数年前に購入、本へ直接答えを記入しましたが 今見てみるととてもおもしろい。 あの頃叶えていなかった夢が叶っている今の自分を 発見することができました。 また、その頃の自分を鮮明に思い出すきっかけとなりました。 もう1冊買って、今の自分のことを書いてみようかな。

Loved this book! The questions are literally about everything! Was fun to fill out when I was a teenage and then look back on now and laugh! Considering purchasing another one as have never seen a book/keepsake like this before. Would like to do one now and my children can look back at it one day...

Esta muy lindo, es de pasta dura

Bogus and useless

It brought back such great memories things I had long forgotten about. Got me talking to family and reconnecting.
