Summary

As you've probably heard before, an unexamined life... may be pretty darn boring. You can remedy that with All About Me, a journal filled with checklists and fill-in-the-blank questions divided into 25 categories, including sexuality, ego, wishes & dreams, opinions, emotions, memories, and choices. What authors have affected you? Do you believe in God? What film can you watch over and over? Ever had sex on an airplane? Do you want to be buried or cremated?

All About Me can serve as a fine tool for improving your self-knowledge; it's also been used by couples who want to get to know each other better, and would make great fodder for getting a party going (especially the question, "Does a photo of you naked exist?"). If you're interested in self-actualization or improving your relationships, you'll find the book fascinating, while anyone just looking for a fun way to spend a rainy day or make a long trip go by faster will be rewarded, too.

Very Useful and Fun!

Rating: Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4

This book was fun to fill out and I realized that you can fill out a new one every few years once your opinions and feelings have changed! I think this would be a great book for any teenager or twenty-something struggling with identity issues!

Fun journal

I've done several of these in the last 10 years.. its always fun to go back and compare how you've changed with in different years after different hurdles in life..

know yourself!!!

Rating: Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

i haven't written a single thing in this book yet but i've read through the questions. i want to start on it when i have time. i really liked the questions about family and i liked the random yes/no questions, the section on fears, memories, etc. this book is just good. as others have said i think it would be a great way to disclose information about yourself and learn about your partner or even just friends. it's a great way to capture the essence of you as part of a legacy. if you ever wanted to write about your life for yourself or others this book would be a great exercise to do first. i think i'll buy these for friends on their birthday. i'm going to get all about us for later.

Getting Acquainted

Rating: Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4

Hey, if you have some time and you're looking for a fun little personal project... one that will help you to (dare I say) think about your own thinking, this is a good start. It's short. It's theme driven and it's definitely to the point. In fact, many questions seem easy and superficial at first, but as you ponder them, you dive deeper within yourself. Thinking beyond the question will lead you into self discovery. Sure, there's only room to write a few lines here and there (which is why I rated it a 4) but that's really all it takes to "answer" the question. Many of the sections can be used as a jump start or as an outline for longer journaling, such as those involving family, friends, memories, wishes and dreams. Honestly. You'll be asked questions you may have never stopped to ask yourself. Searching for an answer will lead you into deeper self discovery AND help you to extend personal knowledge that will broaden your communication base later.
About 10 years ago, a "friend" saw this book on my desk. We discussed a couple of sections, and our answers spawned conversation that lasted hours. Not more than three weeks later, I received the same All About Me book in the mail. It was his, written for me (about him-or- the person he use to be). An attached yellow post it read, "M- 20 years from now, I'd like to do this jointly - closing with the thought... 'And they lived happily ever after." I have it to this very day, and it's still pretty cool! Try the book. It's a morsel of a treat.

It's ok

Rating: Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3

The book is ok. I thought it would be bigger and that it would ask really in-depth questions. Don't get me wrong, some questions may be a little personal, but overall, it's not what I expected. I'm only half way through, so hopefully I change my mind by the time I reach the end.
