Helpful and Inspiring Book
This book is very complete. It includes inspiring quotes, practical how-to approaches to various kinds of journals, and personal stories of individuals who have benefitted from keeping a daily record of their lives and inner thoughts. The book includes areas not covered by most other books on journal writing, including ways to process grief. Interesting illustrations are sprinkled throughout the text. Definitely a worthwhile book! Read it.

bloodless and draining
This book should have been better--it's a comprehensive collection of journaling ideas--but the final effect is bloodless and draining. Sadly, the author saves significant journal writing examples for a final section and uses quotes instead of examples in the chapters. Perhaps she's trying not to sway the reader as to a preferred type of writing, but it also doesn't impart much energy or passion. Go back to "The New Diary" or "One to One," or go forward to "Leaving a Trace;" this one isn't worth the effort.
