The Book of Alchemy

It is with great excitement and honor that I introduce our first book feature, The Book of Alchemy. Suleika Jaouad is a creative force who shares the most intimate parts of being an artist and invites us into her creative practice. In the introduction to The Book of Alchemy, I was instantly hooked by her words “If you’re in conversation with the self, you can be in conversation with the world.”

Join us as we step into a new creative habit. The Book of Alchemy is a guide to the art of journaling—and a meditation on the central questions of life—by the bestselling author of Between Two Kingdoms, with contributions from Jon Batiste, Elizabeth Gilbert, Hanif Abdurraqib, Salman Rushdie, Gloria Steinem, George Saunders, and many more. It is a creative practice for an inspired life.

If you’re in conversation with the self,
you can be in conversation with the world.
— Suleika Jaouad

The Book of Alchemy is broken into themes ranging from new beginnings to love, loss, and rebuilding. Whether you’re a lifelong writer or new to the practice, this book gives you the tools, direction, and encouragement to engage with discomfort, ask questions, peel back the layers, dream daringly, uncover your truest self—and in doing so, to learn to hold the unbearably brutal and astonishingly beautiful facts of life in the same palm.

The gorgeous book even has a surprise. Lift the cover to reveal a custom name plate.

In The Book of Alchemy, Suleika explores the art of journaling and shares everything she’s learned about how this life-altering practice can help us tap into that mystical trait that exists in every human: creativity. She has gathered wisdom from a myriad of writers, artists, and thinkers in the form of essays and writing prompts. Their insights invite us to inhabit a more inspired life.

Join us as we step into a new creative habit. The Book of Alchemy will be our guide as one hundred writers, authors and great minds lead us to new heights.
