Perspectives: The Alchemy of Journaling

Whether you have journaled for much of your life or are just considering it, journaling will add a depth to your life you didn’t even know was missing. It creates more time and space in your life and has the power to infuse your life with more meaning and vibrancy than ever. Perspectives (2022) is the third work in the Inner Flourishing trilogy along with A Radical Kindness (2021)and The Poetry of Human Emotions (2020.) This book outlines the profound benefits and simple practices of journaling. 30-time author Jack Ricchiuto offers a 4-ingredient recipe for dialogic journaling–journaling as dialogue that unfolds new perspectives in any core and corner of our lives. Highlighting the science of the benefits of journaling, he presents a dozen journaling structures and two dozen prompts. This book explores the phenomenology, psychology, and technology of journaling. This means diving into what happens in journaling from one moment to the next — including a recipe of sorts. It means discovering how journaling impacts our sense of well-being. It means developing fluid and flexible approaches to the practice of journaling. If you want something life-changing, think about fresh approaches to journaling.
