Burn After Writing (Pink) Paperback – Coloring Book, October 27, 2020

I absolutely love this book and can sit down answering prompts for hours. It really allows me to think deeper about things I’ve never payed attention to.

Takes consistency. To complete the tasks .

The media could not be loaded. Burn After Writing by Sharon Jones is a unique and introspective journal that invites you to dig deep into your thoughts, memories, and emotions. It’s more than just a journal; it’s a personal journey of self-discovery, designed to help you reflect on your life and, ultimately, let go of what no longer serves you.What I Appreciated:• Thought-Provoking Prompts: The journal is filled with prompts that really make you think. Some are light and fun, while others are more challenging, pushing you to confront aspects of your life that you might not have thought about in a long time—or ever. It’s a great way to explore your inner self without the pressure of sharing your thoughts with anyone.• Privacy Encouraged: The idea behind Burn After Writing is that you’re writing just for yourself, with the freedom to be completely honest. The title itself suggests that once you’re done, you might choose to destroy the journal, which adds a sense of liberation to the process.• Simple and Effective Layout: The design is straightforward, with plenty of space for you to write. There’s a minimalist approach to the layout, which keeps the focus on your thoughts and responses rather than distracting visuals or overcomplicated formatting.• Emotional Catharsis: For those who are ready to confront and release their emotions, this journal can be incredibly cathartic. It’s a safe space to pour out your heart and leave behind anything that’s been weighing you down.A Few Considerations:• Depth Varies: Some prompts may feel superficial or repetitive, especially if you’ve done similar journaling exercises before. However, this also means that the journal is accessible to a wide range of users, from those new to self-reflection to more experienced journalers.• Not for Everyone: If you’re not comfortable with deep introspection or prefer guided, structured journaling, this might not be the best fit for you. The journal requires a willingness to be vulnerable, which isn’t always easy.• Burning It: The concept of burning the journal after completing it can be both appealing and daunting. It’s a symbolic act of letting go, but some might find it hard to actually destroy something they’ve spent time and effort on.

Besides the fact that I need to be prompted to write...and think, I think this type of suggestion will help me understand my place in the Universe. Honestly, it was like self-reflecting without paying a therapist. Get it if you have a need for such things.

Great for your own personal therapy.

Perfect .

Thought-provoking journal. It helps with my anxiety and is making me look deeper inside myself and connect with my feelings. The questions/ prompts can be hard hitting, making you emotional. I like the chic design of this journal. It's a paperback book so it's not the sturdiest.

I am torn about this book. On the one hand, there are somewhat interesting prompts. Here are few at random:The stupidest thing I have ever done the nicest thing I've ever done that no one knows aboutThe biggest challenge facing the world todayPeople to be forgivenIf no one was watching, I wouldIf I could spend my last hours of life with anyone, doing anything, I wouldBut there are some silly ones too:Most of the top 5 lists you are asked to make and others that seem more geared toward teens. (1st kiss, 1st love, etc.)The main issue though is there is nothing after you write your answer, no help with understanding the 'whys' of what you wrote. So I might continue, but then again why bother if I'm only going to shred it when done? Seems like just rehashing the past for no reason, considering the present without ways to make it better, and thinking about the future with no real path to influence how it all pans out.
