Description

An interactive guide to our complex and elusive inner selves.

One of the most difficult tasks we face as humans is figuring out who we are. "Describe yourself" can be a surprisingly difficult task. Sometimes, we need prompts and suggestions to engage and energize us.

With unusual, entertaining, and playful exercises, this journal is designed to help us tease out and organize who we are. With beautiful designs by Marcia Mihotich throughout and mini essays on topics like relationships and work, this book shows us how our complicated, beautiful, and sometimes painful experiences all contribute to the richness of who we are.


  • UNCONVENTIONAL AND PROVOCATIVE QUESTIONS to prompt honest self-reflection.
  • AN INTERACTIVE JOURNAL OF SELF DISCOVERY with space for written answers.
  • FULL COLOR ILLUSTRATIONS THROUGHOUT
  • A COLLECTION OF MINI ESSAYS on topics like relationships, work, and culture.

Critical Reviews

***What readers are saying***

By far the most extraordinarily helpful journal, questions that are actually relevant to self discovery, exploration, and closure.

This is even more interesting than I expected. I am very keen to think and answer a one more question every time I open it. And the idea from the end is really creative!

Another great interactive resource from School of Life to help identify and understand the mind's perception of the reality.
