Customer Reviews

A book full of riches for aiding self discovery and healing.
The book clearly sets out how to uncover your many layered self through writing and drawing exercises and you don't need to be an artist to do them! Also a manual for discovering a creative self within you along the way. There are many examples of other people's journals which encourage the reader to let their child within take the pen or crayon and let go without inhibition. Both inspirational and instructive, the book has many layers and approaches to uncovering our inner lives. The book offers an invitation to explore, heal and accept yourself and to find your buried treasure in your own unique way. I found many hours of wonder and healing were possible through using the book. And it is the sort of book you can go back to again and again whenever needed.

distracted read
Having got only to page 18, I am already distracted by the amount of spelling errors and badly laid out copy. Now it might be because of my profession but there really shouldn't be any excuse for a badly subbed publication, especially this being a second edition. Was it ever proofed?
