New Tour Dates Added!

Get your tickets now!

Hi, friends!

I’m sending a quick mid-week note with some exciting news: Tickets to the Alchemy Tour went much faster than expected—so we’ve added more dates!

After San Francisco sold out in less than a day, we’ve added a second show at the Sydney Goldstein Theater on April 28.

We’ll also be coming to Minneapolis—to the Pantages Theatre on May 3.

I hope you’ll join us for an evening of transformative storytelling and musical performances where we’ll bring creative alchemy to life onstage. We’re cooking up something really special, and it’s not to be missed!

Sending love,
Suleika

About The Book of Alchemy

“The Book of Alchemy proves on every page that a creative response can be found in every moment of life—regardless of what is happening in the world. It also demonstrates that we can be more creative together than we could ever be alone. This book is not only beautiful but exceedingly helpful. I recommend it to every dreamer, with the highest respect and joy.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat Pray Love

From the time she was young, Suleika Jaouad has kept a journal. She’s used it to mark life’s biggest occasions and to weather its most ferocious storms. Journaling has buoyed her through illness, heartbreak, and the deepest uncertainty. And she is not alone: For so many people, keeping a journal is an essential tool for navigating both the personal peaks and valleys and the collective challenges of modern life. More than ever, we need a space for puzzling through.

In The Book of Alchemy, Jaouad explores the art of journaling and shares everything she’s learned about how this life-altering practice can help us tap into that mystical, seemingly divine trait that exists in every human: creativity. She has gathered wisdom from one hundred writers, artists, and thinkers, including Hanif Abdurraqib, Jon Batiste, Elizabeth Gilbert, Salman Rushdie, Gloria Steinem, George Saunders, and Jia Tolentino. Their insights invite us to inhabit a more inspired life.

A companion through challenging times, The Book of Alchemy is broken into themes ranging from new beginnings to love, loss, and rebuilding. Whether you’re a lifelong journaler or new to the practice, this book gives you the tools, direction, and encouragement to engage with discomfort, ask questions, peel back the layers, dream daringly, uncover your truest self, and, in doing so, learn to hold the unbearably brutal and astonishingly beautiful facts of life in the same palm.

More advance praise—

“Brilliant. Gentle. Encouraging. If you want to make your life richer, follow Suleika Jaouad’s lead. She is showing us how to find wisdom in every transition, graduation, and U-turn. This book is the perfect mix of incandescent wisdom and kick-in-the-pants motivation to start your own creative journey.” —Kate Bowler, author of Everything Happens for a Reason

“Beyond her brilliance as a writer, Suleika Jaouad’s greatest offering to the world is her brilliance of generosity, her curiosity, her seeking heart and mind. The Book of Alchemy is an extension and expansion of these gifts. Carefully curated and thoughtfully presented, it doesn’t offer just one answer, or one north star, but an entire galaxy, a path, with many paths springing forth from it, for anyone who wants to write, or chase an idea, or descend into their work with a newfound exuberance. This book is a gift.” —Hanif Abdurraqib, author of There’s Always This Year

“An extraordinary collection of wisdom. The Book of Alchemy is a springboard to new ideas, new insights, and new identities.” —Adam Grant, author of Think Again
