A Creative Practice for an Inspired Life

What might you discover if you gave yourself the space to put your inner world into words?

From bestselling author Suleika Jaouad comes The Book of Alchemy, an invitation to discover—or rediscover—the transformative practice of journaling.

Born from Jaouad’s own lifelong relationship with writing, this beautifully conceived book brings together personal reflections, thoughtful prompts and contributions from an extraordinary collection of writers, artists and thinkers.

Together, they explore journaling not simply as a record of our lives, but as a creative practice for making sense of change, uncertainty, joy, grief and everything in between.

Featuring insights and prompts from contributors including Elizabeth Gilbert, Jon Batiste, Gloria Steinem, George Saunders, Salman Rushdie and many more, the book offers countless entry points for reflection—whether you’ve kept journals for years or have never known what to write on the first blank page.

Thoughtful, intimate and creatively inspiring, The Book of Alchemy encourages us to slow down, pay attention and transform the raw material of everyday life into greater clarity, meaning and connection.

A beautiful book to keep close, return to often and fill with a life entirely your own.
