My Story, My Life: A Journal of Self Discovery (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780979594700)

My Story, My Life is an interactive life review journal designed by a psychologist to help families share their life stories with one another. This book has prompts that take you through the different phases of your life with lined space to record your memories, thoughts, and reflections. Each page has an inspirational quote that is relevant to the questions being asked. The questions start out easy (where were you born, who were named for, where did you go to school, etc) and then require more reflection (what was the road not taken, how would you like to be remembered, etc). This journal is meant to be completed as a family project, although each person could write their story alone. It has been used in nursing homes with older adults, in hospice with dying patients, and by younger adults as well. The goal is to reflect on your life by sharing your stories. When the book is complete, you will have a legacy that will be treasured by your family for generations. Adults in the middle of life will find the process helpful during times of transition when reflection is essential in designing the next stage of life.
