The Write Way to Wellness by Adams, Kathleen (2000) Paperback

For readers and journal writers who love Kathleen Adams' breakthrough "Journal to the Self", this healing workbook will be a welcome adjunct; it also stands on its own as a well-organized and innovative toolkit for positive change. The book is visually pleasing and the journal exercises are clearly presented and user-friendly. So although the content is actually deep and complex, none of the exercises ever felt overwhelming or difficult for me. The author uses the word "invitation" to describe her offering, and I like this, because this is what going through this workbook feels like: being invited to explore the inner life, but never pressured or over-directed. I especially love the creative list of "personal values" which leads the reader/writer into several related exercises. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the comfort and power of journal writing. Mary Lee Moser, author, There and Back: A Journal Companion for Special Needs Parents
