Jaouad draws on her lifelong practice of journalling and her experiences of illness, travel, change and creativity. She presents a collection of reflective essays, prompts and contributions from over a hundred writers (including names like Salman Rushdie, Gloria Steinem, Elizabeth Gilbert) to invite readers to engage with life’s big themes—fear, love, beginnings, memory, the body and purpose. The book serves both as a guide for creative self-exploration and a meditation on how to live an inspired life through the act of writing and reflection.
