A guide to the art of journalling and meditation on the central questions of life, from the bestselling author of Between Two Kingdoms.

Suleika Jaouad’s journal has been a lifelong companion: marking life’s great occasions and helping her ride its roughest waves, through illness, heartbreak, and the deepest oceans of uncertainty. Like Suleika, many consider it a transformative and often vulnerable journey of self-discovery. The Book of Alchemy explores this art and offers companionship and support to those seeking to navigate the in-between. It gives readers invaluable tools to engage with discomfort and peel back the layers shrouding their truest selves.

Praise for The Book of Alchemy

The Book of Alchemy proves on every page that a creative response can be found in every moment of life -regardless of what is happening in the world. It also demonstrates that we can be more creative together than we could ever be alone. This book is not only beautiful but exceedingly helpful. I recommend it to every dreamer, with the highest respect and joy.

Elizabeth Gilbert, author of 'Eat Pray Love'
