Do you ever feel swept away by the current of daily life, unsure of where you're headed? "Conversations With Yourself" offers a lifeline, a chance to step off the treadmill and engage in a critical yet enriching conversation: the one with yourself.

Mental health professionals and religious sages tell us that self-reflection is a cornerstone of well-being. The constant busyness often leaves our inner voice unheard. This journal, guided by the evocative paintings of Michael Ong, provides a safe space for introspection. The artwork serves as a prompt, bypassing the logical mind and triggering deeper emotions and memories. These, in turn, can be explored through carefully crafted prompts, fostering a richer self-discovery process.

Self-reflection isn't always easy. We may hesitate to confront the "darkness" within – our hidden fears, doubts, and past hurts. However, "Conversations With Myself" encourages us to delve into these shadows. Michael believes that within the darkness lie hidden gems: untapped strengths, buried insights, and a path to a more authentic self.

Embrace the pause. Turn the page and embark on a journey of self-discovery, one conversation at a time.

Turn the pages, and get a front row seat to the twists and turns on the sometimes difficult path Michael and his family have chosen.
