Imagine a way to start your Life Story!
In 6 weeks, with 6 themes, and two pages a week, you can create your Life Story project to remember and record your most significant life events and create a time capsule of your journey for self reflection or for future generations.
Guided Autobiography or GAB has been researched and developed by Dr. James Birren over the past 40 years as a method for helping people document their life stories. You can read more about Dr. Birren and his lifetime work and legacy here……The Birren Centre for Autobiographical Studies
