\n NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER \u2022 A guide to the art of journaling\u2014and a meditation on the central questions of life\u2014by the bestselling author of Between Two Kingdoms, with contributions from Hanif Abdurraqib, Jon Batiste, Salman Rushdie, Gloria Steinem, George Saunders, and many more<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Book of Alchemy proves on every page that a creative response can be found in every moment of life\u2014regardless of what is happening in the world.\u201d\u2014Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat Pray Love<\/p>\n

From the time she was young, Suleika Jaouad has kept a journal. She\u2019s used it to mark life’s biggest occasions and to weather its most ferocious storms. Journaling has buoyed her through illness, heartbreak, and the deepest uncertainty. And she is not alone: for so many people, keeping a journal is an essential tool for navigating both the personal peaks and valleys and the collective challenges of modern life. More than ever, we need a space for puzzling through.<\/p>\n

In The Book of Alchemy, Suleika explores the art of journaling and shares everything she\u2019s learned about how this life-altering practice can help us tap into that mystical trait that exists in every human: creativity. She has gathered wisdom from one hundred writers, artists, and thinkers in the form of essays and writing prompts. Their insights invite us to inhabit a more inspired life.<\/p>\n

A companion through challenging times, The Book of Alchemy is broken into themes ranging from new beginnings to love, loss, and rebuilding. Whether you\u2019re a lifelong journaler or new to the practice, this book gives you the tools, direction, and encouragement to engage with discomfort, ask questions, peel back the layers, dream daringly, uncover your truest self\u2014and in doing so, to learn to hold the unbearably brutal and astonishingly beautiful facts of life in the same palm.<\/p>\n

Also includes essays from: Martha Beck \u2022 Nadia Bolz-Weber \u2022 Alain de Botton \u2022 Susan Cheever \u2022 Lena Dunham \u2022 Melissa Febos \u2022 Liana Finck \u2022 John Green \u2022 Marie Howe \u2022 Pico Iyer \u2022 Oliver Jeffers \u2022 Quintin Jones \u2022 Michael Koryta \u2022 Hanif Kureishi \u2022 Kiese Laymon \u2022 Cleyvis Natera \u2022 Ann Patchett \u2022 Esther Perel \u2022 Adrienne Raphel \u2022 Jenny Rosenstrach \u2022 Sarah Ruhl \u2022 Sharon Salzberg \u2022 Dani Shapiro \u2022 Mavis Staples \u2022 Linda Sue Park \u2022 Nafissa Thompson-Spires \u2022 Jia Tolentino \u2022 Lindy West \u2022 Lidia Yuknavitch \u2022 And many others
