Description
This book is intended for those who have struggled with various concrete elements of writing an autobiography - whether it's a matter of finding one's writing motivation, of finding things to write about, or of organizing one's thoughts and memories thematically. This book diverges from those already on the market in several ways. This book is unique in that it provides a flexible template-like structure that can either be used for the purpose of drafting an outline, or it can be as simple as answering the questions in as straightforward a fashion as possible in order to document, without reframing in a larger narrative. This book is intended to extend the work of James Birren and others in the field of Guided Autobiography. In this sense, the author of this book recommends purchasing Telling the Stories of Life through Guided Autobiography Groups as a companion (if not prerequisite) to this volume. In using this book, to have the best experience, we recommend that you do not read ahead. The exercises provided are intended to follow one after the other, in an organic and Socratic pattern. Unlike some books, where you can pick and choose various worksheets to focus on, the goal of this book is to follow the prompts, step by step.
