Reviews
Nothing is left to chance in the manual and it is written with a depth of understanding and perception that effectively demonstrates the authors' cumulative practice experience.
This is an inspirational and practical guide on autobiography workshops.
The book is overflowing with voices of experience. The authors are obviously very familiar with the practical information needed to conduct guided autobiography groups successfully.
