Editorial Reviews: Is there someone special you'd like to open up to? Do you want to know yourself better? Self-discovery and self-revelation aren't easy. With simple but provocative questions, All About Me is a great tool for self-reflection that spotlights everything your loved ones would be interested to know about you but never thought--or dared--to ask. Such as: Name a friend you should not have kissed. Describe a moment when you achieved absolute happiness. Recall a compliment that made you blush. Write about your most beautiful and your most horrifying memory of your parents. Does a naked photo of you exist? The wide-ranging questions--from short yes/no's to open-ended ones that probe your psyche--are personal, direct, and addictively fun to answer. The basic specs, including blood type and annual salary, are also covered. If you've ever wished that you or your loved ones had been born with an operating manual, your wish has been granted. Filled in or left blank, All About Me is a perfect gift for everyone you care about--friends, relatives, mentors, and lovers. Published just in time for Valentine's Day, but also ideal for Mother's Day, Father's Day, graduations, birthdays, showers, and weddings, this unique book gives the best present of all: the gift of you.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Getting Acquainted Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: It's ok Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Tears & a HUGE knot in my throat Comment: I found this book in the bookstore and I thought it was quite interesting. I spent 15 minutes writing and I had to stop because I would cry, I would laugh, I would cry some more. I'm crying now writing this review. It's amazing and I suggest EVERYONE get this book to learn a little bit more about themselves. Every friend of mine will be getting this book as a gift. Thanks to Philip Keel for helping me learn 'All About Me'. Customer Rating: Summary: Fun Little Book Comment: I got this book thinking I would document myself for prosperity. Well, it has been fun to fill out, but there are some questions I just didn't feel comfortable with, such as who I would kill or sexual fantasies. Personally, I will just tear out those pages and continue on, but if you don't want to leave them blank or tear them out, you may prefer another book. As some others noted, there isn't much room to answer some questions, and there is little room to add personal touches such as photos. But if you're just looking to rekindle old memories, this is fun. Customer Rating: Summary: It's an adventure on getting to know yourself... Comment: I enjoy this book because you get to discover things about yourself that you may not have realized. It's also good because you want to keep it forever and review it months or even years later to see how/if you have changed. It's a journey to self-discovery. I'm reluctant to fill in all the blanks in case it gets into the wrong hands...but one day I'll just do it and whoever reads it will have to realize I was simply going on how I was feeling at that particular time in my life. ;-) I bought the book for my closet friends and for a couple who have been married for 20 years;I bought them "All About Us". I cant wait to hear what they have to say. LOL. ;-) More Reviews
