"The brilliance of this book is that it immediately gets you
writing your story. It opens the inner treasure and the inner zoo,
makes you wriggle and weep, pawn the family jewels, laugh out loud,
tear down memory lane, and reawaken to the mystery of your own
life." -- Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart
"A celebration of the memoir form...an impassioned call to write,
delivered by an author who knows how to zero in on the truth, and
lead others there as well. If you're serious about finding that
voice inside yourself, Natalie Goldberg is a teacher you have to
meet." -- Steve Almond, author of Candyfreak and (Not
That You Asked)
"A writer -- both energized and enlightened." -- Julia Cameron,
author of The Artist's Way
"An invaluable addition to any writer's (or reader's) bookshelf.
Each new chapter is another gift, unlocking the mystery of the
story of the human heart. There isn't a better approach to memoir.
Beautifully written, this book is for everyone." -- Robert Wilder,
author of Daddy Needs a Drink and Tales from the
Teachers' Lounge
"Natalie Goldberg doesn't fool around. The moment I started reading
her new book, I found myself compelled to follow her lead. She's a
master and this book is a must-read for anyone who even thinks
about putting pen to page." -- Cheryl Richardson, author of The
Unmistakable Touch of Grace and Take Time for Your
Life
"A richly abundant how-to book full of deep personal insight and
practical go-get-'em. Memoir writers, buy this book, put it on your
personal altar, or carry it with you as you traverse the deep ruts
of your old road. Really, this book could save your life." -- Tom
Spanbauer, author of The Man Who Fell in Love with the Moon
