Product Description
Is there someone special you'd like to open up to? Do you want to know yourself better? Self-discovery and self-revelation aren't easy. With simple but provocative questions, All About Me is a great tool for self-reflection that spotlights everything your loved ones would be interested to know about you but never thought--or dared--to ask. Such as: Name a friend you should not have kissed. Describe a moment when you achieved absolute happiness. Recall a compliment that made you blush. Write about your most beautiful and your most horrifying memory of your parents. Does a naked photo of you exist?
The wide-ranging questions--from short yes/no's to open-ended ones that probe your psyche--are personal, direct, and addictively fun to answer. The basic specs, including blood type and annual salary, are also covered.
If you've ever wished that you or your loved ones had been born with an operating manual, your wish has been granted. Filled in or left blank, All About Me is a perfect gift for everyone you care about--friends, relatives, mentors, and lovers. Published just in time for Valentine's Day, but also ideal for Mother's Day, Father's Day, graduations, birthdays, showers, and weddings, this unique book gives the best present of all: the gift of you.

As you've probably heard before, an unexamined life... may be pretty darn boring. You can remedy that with All About Me, a journal filled with checklists and fill-in-the-blank questions divided into 25 categories, including sexuality, ego, wishes & dreams, opinions, emotions, memories, and choices. What authors have affected you? Do you believe in God? What film can you watch over and over? Ever had sex on an airplane? Do you want to be buried or cremated? All About Me can serve as a fine tool for improving your self-knowledge; it's also been used by couples who want to get to know each other better, and would make great fodder for getting a party going (especially the question, "Does a photo of you naked exist?"). If you're interested in self-actualization or improving your relationships, you'll find the book fascinating, while anyone just looking for a fun way to spend a rainy day or make a long trip go by faster will be rewarded, too.

 It's ok June 28, 2008
The book is ok. I thought it would be bigger and that it would ask really in-depth questions. Don't get me wrong, some questions may be a little personal, but overall, it's not what I expected. I'm only half way through, so hopefully I change my mind by the time I reach the end.

I found this book in the bookstore and I thought it was quite interesting. I spent 15 minutes writing and I had to stop because I would cry, I would laugh, I would cry some more. I'm crying now writing this review. It's amazing and I suggest EVERYONE get this book to learn a little bit more about themselves. Every friend of mine will be getting this book as a gift. Thanks to Philip Keel for helping me learn 'All About Me'.
 Bad Idea for Couples!!! January 11, 2008

It's great to be in touch with your partner... and be honest and loving... but don't do it through this book. It ask way too many questions about too many personal things... then again, it did help me find the red flags in my relationship, lol. Good, clean, harmless fun for close friends though!
 Fun Little Book January 11, 2008

I got this book thinking I would document myself for prosperity. Well, it has been fun to fill out, but there are some questions I just didn't feel comfortable with, such as who I would kill or sexual fantasies. Personally, I will just tear out those pages and continue on, but if you don't want to leave them blank or tear them out, you may prefer another book. As some others noted, there isn't much room to answer some questions, and there is little room to add personal touches such as photos. But if you're just looking to rekindle old memories, this is fun.
It's an adventure on getting to know yourself... January 7, 2008
I enjoy this book because you get to discover things about yourself that you may not have realized. It's also good because you want to keep it forever and review it months or even years later to see how/if you have changed. It's a journey to self-discovery. I'm reluctant to fill in all the blanks in case it gets into the wrong hands...but one day I'll just do it and whoever reads it will have to realize I was simply going on how I was feeling at that particular time in my life. ;-)
I bought the book for my closet friends and for a couple who have been married for 20 years;I bought them "All About Us". I cant wait to hear what they have to say. LOL. ;-)
