"In a culture saturated with advice about how to optimize our lives, Laura Rubin offers something far more valuable: a way to discover our own wisdom.

Her science-backed approach makes journaling both joyful and accessible." -Robin Berzin, author of State Change and founder of Parsley Health
The Big Unlock is a thoughtful and timely invitation to reimagine life's transitions as gateways rather than roadblocks. Laura L. Rubin shows readers how to utilize journaling as a tool to connect to their inner wisdom, make meaning from change, and step into the next chapter with clarity and confidence. A beautiful guide for anyone ready to grow forward." -Chip Conley, NYT bestselling author and founder of Modern Elder Academy
"I've known Laura long enough to know she practices what she teaches. She's helped me unlock what was inside me when I needed it. The Big Unlock is the real thing. A book about getting honest with yourself through writing, not the Instagram version of journaling, but the kind that actually changes how you move through your day. If you've ever felt like the noise is louder than your own thinking, start here. I'm so excited for more people to experience her work." -Steve Larosiliere, founder and president of Stoked Mentoring Inc.
