All About Me: The Story of Your Life: Guided Journal Hardcover – January 20, 1998

Very good book to write in, and not recommended for kids very not for kids, but it was a good book.

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!

My daughter wanted something she could read if something were to happen to me. It will be a good read. LO L

I purchased two copies of "All About Me": one for me to fill out and one for my boyfriend to fill out. Although we haven't completely gone through it yet, so far, it has been a good tool for getting to know each other better and starting conversations on some serious and not-so-serious subjects. I like the questions because they cover different levels of knowing yourself. To better explain, my reaction to some questions was, "That's easy. I can answer that right away." While my reaction to a few questions was, "That's hard! How could someone know this about themselves? Ug, this is going to take me a while to come up with something." I do have a few minor complaints. One is that it is really long. I have spent several hours filling mine out, and I'm still not done. Second, I would like to see some more silly questions included to lighten the content, but I guess this can be remedied in the extra blank pages at the end. Overall, I recommend this book as a tool for getting to know another person or even yourself.

simple but important

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!

The book itself is fine - this is my second copy; I thought it would be fun to fill it out again 20 years later. However, the copy I got already had some writing in it. Not much, but still - not what I expected.
