Summary of Allison Fallon's The Power of Writing It Down

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We all have strategies to keep us from hearing our own voices. It’s easier to drink wine and watch TV than it is to try and figure out why this voice is urging us to quit our jobs, set new boundaries in our old friends, or let go of some stability or security that has given us peace for years. #2 The Hang-Up is the fear of expressing ourselves honestly. We try to outrun it altogether by filling our lives with exciting things that get us lots of praise and attention. But deep down, none of that praise and attention means anything because it’s disconnected from the most important thing you can ever own: your voice. #3 Words are powerful. They can start a revolution, calm our own fears, or send a vital message to someone who needs it. With a word, we can change everything. #4 We all have things we want to change about ourselves and the world. We’re constantly trying to change things, but change doesn’t come easily. It takes a lot of energy and effort, and we rarely see the results we want.
