Review
"Few things provoke such powerful feelings of fear and intimidation as journal writing. Achieving the goal (noting the ordinary and extraordinary events in life) is often hampered by fretting over subject matter, grammar, spelling and even handwriting. Friends and L.A.-based Felice Willat and Ilene Segalove have taken the worry out of the process with the "Woman's Book of Changes," a beautifully bound-loose-guide and journal that's much more than a handholding device. It's also a lot less touch-feely than it sounds. -- Los Angeles Times, May '98
"The 80's came and went, watching so many of us trying to organize our lives so that we could cram as much in as possible into a day. And a binder-like marvel called the "Day Runner," was what kept us organized, productive, in control and sane....This lovely book is a gentle reminder to stay connected to our inner wisdom, creativity and purpose, especially during times of change. It is a combination journal, spiritual companion, and in the process that it encourages, it transforms itself into a mentor. -- Chinaberry, Spring
Turn and face the strange 'ch-ch-changes. It's a pity that Albert Einstein isn't still with us. Maybe he could explain why and how it is that time seems to be speeding up. If life feels like it's falling between the cracks of job, family, relationship, commute, gym schedule and general life maintenance, the "Woman's Book of Changes," by Felice Willat and Ilene Segalove may offer an opportunity o refocus and reclaim your sanity. Publisher Willat is the formidable force of nature behind the Day Runner series. Without the Day Runner (along with beeper, cell phone and water bottle), most of Los Angeles would wander the streets in yuppie befuddlement, unable to remember its next appointment. "Woman's Book of Changes" is a guided journal, in other words, a notebook with prompts, exercises and interactive sections. The questions, tips, quotes from users and provocative passages may be a doorway into self-knowledge for any woman at any phase of life. -- Daily Breeze, January '98
Woman's Book of Changes is a guided journal, designed as a sanctuary and source of self-exploration for women of all ages. More than bound blank pages, it offers insights on getting in touch with your feelings, organizing your thoughts and emotions, and stimulating your imagination. -- Hollywood Reporter, December '97

From the Publisher
THE HEALING BENEFITS OF JOURNAL WRITING -- In his book, Opening Up, The Healing Power of Expressing Emotions, James W. Pennebaker, PhD says, "The degree to which writing or talking about basic thoughts and feelings can produce such profound physical and psychological changes is nothing short of amazing."
Researchers at Southern Methodist University in Dallas headed by Dr. James W. Pennebaker, and the University of Texas at Austin have found that people who write about their deepest thoughts and feelings surrounding upsetting events have stronger immunity and visit their doctors half as often as those who write only about trivial events.
Writing about emotional upheavals has been found to improve the physical and mental health of grade-school children, nursing home residents, arthritis sufferers, medical school students, new mothers and victims of crime. Furthermore, writing about emotional topics has been found to improve grades in college and help people secure new jobs.
College students state that in-class writing allows them to integrate ideas and fundamentally know the subject matter. Their improved exam scores and lower absentee rates validate their perceptions.
Writing helps integrate and organize our complicated lives in a variety of ways:
Writing clears the mind.
Writing resolves traumas that stand in the way of important tasks.
Writing helps in acquiring and remembering new information Writing fosters problem solving. It forces people to sustain their attention on a given topic for a longer period of time.
Journal writing has the lowest risk factor imaginable, mentally as well as financially, providing you with the gentlest and safest of therapies. No expertise required, no minimum time required, and you don't lose the benefits if you miss a time period. And it is listed as a recommended method of healing in Prevention Magazine's dictionary of healing modalities because it can help mobilize the body's defenses against physical illness.
There are instances where the process of journal writing has sustained the writer beyond her anticipated life span, where she lived on precisely in order to finish saying what she had to say.

Woman's book of changes,
This review is from: Woman's Book of Changes (Ring-bound)
This book is for older women who need to "find themselves" all over again and use as a tool to journal thier thoughts. As a woman in her 20's I still found it to be most helpfull in conjunction with my regualar Franklyn and Palm pilot as a way to organize my thoughts and goals through journal writting. It's a great gift for a woman of any age!
