Summary

***THE ORIGINAL MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER***

Write。 Burn。 Repeat。 Now featuring a brand new pink cover。

'This book has made me laugh and cry， filled me with joy， and inspired me。' -TikTok user camrynbanks

Instagram， WhatsApp， Snapchat， TikTok， VSCO， YouTube。。。the world has not only become one giant feed， but also one giant confessional。 Burn After Writing allows you to spend less time scrolling and more time self-reflecting。 Through incisive questions and thought experiments， this journal helps you learn new things while letting others go。 Imagine instead of publicly declaring your feelings for others， you privately declared your feelings for yourself？

Help your heart by turning off the comments and muting the accounts that drive you into jealousy for a few moments a night。 Whether you are going through the ups and downs of growing up， or know a few young people who are， you will flourish by finding free expression - even if through a few tears！

Push your limits， reflect on your past， present， and future， and create a secret book that's about you， and just for you。 This is not a diary， and there is no posting required。 And when you're finished， toss it， hide it， or Burn After Writing。

A fun， interactive journal - I started it alone， but have been doing with hubby over wine nights and we both enjoy flipping to a page and sharing our dreams and secrets together。

Great diary，

Jessica Terry ，

Such deep and thoughtful questions （16+）

Kathy Johannes Rytter ，

Cathartic！ More of a journal you write than a book to read， but a very helpful exercise。

Becky Grantham ，

Great journal book！ I love the prompting sentences to help you get the full use of the book！ Great to do with your significant other。。。。

Fasctinating book - it's a series of questions， a lot of them， and they're insightful and make you think。 Suppoedly they're there ot make you think about character， who you are， and stimulate creativity。 I think I agree with it。 The questions aren't always easy， but I found it helpful going through them （and no， didn't answer all of them） Fasctinating book - it's a series of questions， a lot of them， and they're insightful and make you think。 Suppoedly they're there ot make you think about character， who you are， and stimulate creativity。 I think I agree with it。 The questions aren't always easy， but I found it helpful going through them （and no， didn't answer all of them） 。。。more

'Burn After Writing' is essentially a template journal of sorts to pen one's deep thoughts。 Despite the effort to categorise the book into 'Past，' 'Present' and 'Future' to encourage reflection， it feels like more of a superficial chat you'd have with oneself or someone else than a riveting conversation。 While I did enjoy the questions and trivia， I didn't feel like I poured my soul enough to 'burn it'。 The questions are a touch-and-go rather than a 'let's take this question and really dig in' k 'Burn After Writing' is essentially a template journal of sorts to pen one's deep thoughts。 Despite the effort to categorise the book into 'Past，' 'Present' and 'Future' to encourage reflection， it feels like more of a superficial chat you'd have with oneself or someone else than a riveting conversation。 While I did enjoy the questions and trivia， I didn't feel like I poured my soul enough to 'burn it'。 The questions are a touch-and-go rather than a 'let's take this question and really dig in' kind of journal。Also， the author tries to preface certain chapters with poetic words that don't come through; it feels rather forced in order to prep you for that journaling mode。 。。。more

I was not expecting to write about me。 I thought I would find cool writing prompts to practice any kind of writing。 But writing about my past， present， and future wasn’t as hard as I thought it would and I really took the rule to be 100% honest to heart。 By the end of the book， it was sometimes hard to about stuff like the future。 This exercice made me realize that you have to surrender to God and just live。 It also made me understand myself more and be more compassionate towards my old self。 De I was not expecting to write about me。 I thought I would find cool writing prompts to practice any kind of writing。 But writing about my past， present， and future wasn’t as hard as I thought it would and I really took the rule to be 100% honest to heart。 By the end of the book， it was sometimes hard to about stuff like the future。 This exercice made me realize that you have to surrender to God and just live。 It also made me understand myself more and be more compassionate towards my old self。 Definitely recommend it！ PS I don’t think I’ll burn it。 It’ll be fun to see in 10 years what I wrote lol。 。。。more

Questions are very thought provoking but to read the way the author write reminds me of how i answer things when half a sleep。 It feels like its going somewhere and drops off to something basic and untrue。 Like， it feels very contrived。 ie "its impossible to tell the truth， especially when writing about yourself" ， "write something beautiful with your hand and you can be sure it will last for an eternity" " you cant look at something without changing it; you cant look at yourself without changin Questions are very thought provoking but to read the way the author write reminds me of how i answer things when half a sleep。 It feels like its going somewhere and drops off to something basic and untrue。 Like， it feels very contrived。 ie "its impossible to tell the truth， especially when writing about yourself" ， "write something beautiful with your hand and you can be sure it will last for an eternity" " you cant look at something without changing it; you cant look at yourself without changing"Idk about the rest of you but every example makes me say "what。 That isnt even true。" 。。i swear i say that stuff every night。 Lol。 。。。more

Het boek staat vol met verschillende vragen over verschillende aspecten van het leven。 Daardoor ga je kijken naar je verleden， het heden en de toekomst。 Hierdoor ga je veel nadenken over jezelf én leer je veel over jezelf， je doelen， passies en toekomstbeeld。 In het boek staan vooral open vragen maar ook zijn er verschillende lijstjes die je kunt invullen。 Daarnaast zijn er ‘this or that’ lijsten waarbij je keuzes moet maken tussen verschillende onderwerpen。 Kortom， het boek laat je op een creat Het boek staat vol met verschillende vragen over verschillende aspecten van het leven。 Daardoor ga je kijken naar je verleden， het heden en de toekomst。 Hierdoor ga je veel nadenken over jezelf én leer je veel over jezelf， je doelen， passies en toekomstbeeld。 In het boek staan vooral open vragen maar ook zijn er verschillende lijstjes die je kunt invullen。 Daarnaast zijn er ‘this or that’ lijsten waarbij je keuzes moet maken tussen verschillende onderwerpen。 Kortom， het boek laat je op een creatieve manier reflecteren en fantaseren。 Het boek is verdeeld in 3 stukken， namelijk het verleden， het heden en de toekomst。 Dit zorgt ervoor dat het boek op verschillende manieren is in te vullen， zo kun je een pagina openslaan en beginnen maar ook gewoon beginnen bij het begin。 Iedere pagina is uniek en hierbij vergt de ene pagina meer tijd en inspanning dan de ander。 。。。more

I’m horrible at journaling。 I hate it， but I was struggling for a long time， and every single person in my life （even strangers on the internet） highly recommended it。 I forced myself for many years to make an effort but I just never could。 Along comes this book， with PROMPTS: and my sense of self efficacy exponentially increased。 The prompts made it easier for me to know what to write。 What I wasn’t expecting was that in a very indirect way， this is a self help book， too。 I’ve started reading s I’m horrible at journaling。 I hate it， but I was struggling for a long time， and every single person in my life （even strangers on the internet） highly recommended it。 I forced myself for many years to make an effort but I just never could。 Along comes this book， with PROMPTS: and my sense of self efficacy exponentially increased。 The prompts made it easier for me to know what to write。 What I wasn’t expecting was that in a very indirect way， this is a self help book， too。 I’ve started reading some of those but never finished one。 So the fact that I wasn’t expecting a self help factor consequently got me to finally finish one。 I really had to dig deep for this one。 Alone in my room， I still found myself looking behind my shoulders to make sure no one could see what I was writing。 You were instructed to be brutally honest， and after skipping multiple pages that I didn’t want to answer， I eventually went back and let it all out。 It took my longer than expected to finish this book。 I thought it would serve for me like a time capsule; I’d finish it in a day and then later on I could see even the deepest crevices of my mind when I eventually dug it up somewhere and reread what I wrote。 I hid the book as soon as I was finished; unsure if it was because I was scared someone would find it or because of the shock and slight shame of the honesty in my answers。 It’s 3 months later。 I’ve thought about the book often since I finished it。 I couldn’t remember exactly everything I wrote， but the prompts stuck with me。 They made me a better version of myself subconsciously which I was not expecting at all from a $7 Amazon journal。 I just skimmed all my answers over again and now I really do understand the title。 I’d love to burn this thing to ashes。 That person is not me anymore。 I am not embarrassed by her， but I’m ready to leave her behind。 。。。more

Very therapeutic！ Got it as a Christmas gift and it really helped with getting some bottled up emotions out。 I recommend it to anyone who needs some sort of emotional release and likes to write。

Elliot Burns ，

This book was a journey of self-discovery。 It was different altogether to see how one takes on the idea of a confessional that no one but yourself sees。 To me， it was like a diary， but you know what to write。 It was fun to read and write， and it was a cleansing experience。 I think （and I am） that doing this once a year on your birthday is a delightful idea。 I recommend this to anyone ever。 Because no one truly knows exactly who they are。

Ida Wilcox ，

ExcellentI think this book should be done every 10 years。A good way to dig deep。 and get to know your self better。

Amy Senter ，

I found this book randomly at a Five Below store。 It was a great book for journaling。 It helped me learn about myself and what my passions and future goals are to focus on。 The book covered real， thought-provoking and funny questions to things from your past， present and future。 Great easy journaling book to learn about yourself。

There seem to be two types of self-help/reflection books that are making huge impacts on the book selling industry these days。 You have the artsy “adult coloring books，” of which I’ve bought plenty for relatives and recommend to friends。 And you have the ones more suited to those that love words and wordplay like How to Be Happy （Or at Least Less Sad） and Burn After Writing。These books/journals/art projects ask you to take time out of your everyday life and either forget about it （coloring） There seem to be two types of self-help/reflection books that are making huge impacts on the book selling industry these days。 You have the artsy “adult coloring books，” of which I’ve bought plenty for relatives and recommend to friends。 And you have the ones more suited to those that love words and wordplay like How to Be Happy （Or at Least Less Sad） and Burn After Writing。These books/journals/art projects ask you to take time out of your everyday life and either forget about it （coloring） or look at the things that have the potential to make you happy or sad and dissect them。 They use activities like drawing， list-making， word associations and many other activities to get you to think about things differently than you do on a regular basis。Click here to continue reading on my blog The Oddness of Moving Things。 。。。more
