excellent book 
this book surprised me, was not expecting such a precise and enjoyable book. It has helped me a lot and is a must for anyone writing a autobiography.
-
Great gift 
Great gift for that person in your life who loves to read but hasn't taken that leap to write yet.
-
Very helpful for all ages. 
Lois Daniel taught classes specifically dealing with writing memoirs, and life stories, not only to older generations, but to younger ones as well. As a young adult, I found this book to be helpful with gathering thoughts/memories and piecing them together. This is a great book to start anyone off with, if they want to write an autobiography or memoir. Hopefully within the next few years, I'll be publishing my :crosses fingers: BEST SELLING autobiography. We'll see though!

Makes the task of writing about your life not so overwhelming 
I am teaching a life history class for the first time and am using Lois Daniel's book as part of my curriculum. I like the fact that she breaks down the book into categories and reminds you that you do not have to write in chronological order or even whole categories at once. She is informal and supportive, gives many writing examples and even has a section about do's and don'ts. She also does not restrict her teachings to only older individuals, but encourages younger people to begin their stories as well.... more info
