Synopsis
“A life worth living is a life worth recording,” says author Armiger Jagoe. Now in You Are Next in Line––based on Jagoe’s successful workshops for seniors on writing life stories––he breaks the seemingly difficult task of describing a lifetime into twelve bite-sized components, presents entertaining examples from some of the most famous autobiographies of all time, and offers easy tips for sharing your story with others. But the promise of this book is even more important, because in writing (or sharing) the stories of their lives, Jagoe has witnessed firsthand the rejuvenating effects of autobiography writing, especially for older people who may feel that time has passed them by: “I’ll admit when I did my first workshop, my intent was merely to get seniors to write their life stories,” he says. “However, I soon discovered the miraculous power of this process. The participants experience an amazing renewal, whether or not they wrote a word. Just by sharing their stories, I noted a marked improvement in workshop participants both physically and mentally. It showed me the real power of the word.” You Are Next in Line demonstrates how . . . · By writing an autobiography, you are acknowledging that you are unique––one of a kind. · In studying a rerun of your life, you'll discover forgotten facts about yourself. · You’ll feel rejuvenated as you rethink both joyful and tragic events, and invariably you will find something new. Use You Are Next In Line to write your own story or use it with the senior in your life to help them realize the fullness of life. In giving voice to a life story, give a gift to your family, friends, and those to come. “We are embracing the future by celebrating the past,” Jagoe says.
