A Creative Practice for an Inspired Life

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.
