Description
Our individual memories define us. Our tribal memories unite us. If these are missing, parts of us are missing too.
The Emotional Inheritance division of Exisle Publishing collaborates with a global team of psychologists, writers, and historians to offer a premium interview and life story production service, capturing the life stories of elderly family members. This approach aligns with emerging social trends that honour and value our ancestors, intended to help generations preserve their stories, leaving a lasting, meaningful legacy.
Finding True Connections clearly and simply outlines the steps necessary for you to undertake this process yourself, without an external interviewer. The book is designed as a series of double-page spreads. On the left-hand page, you will find a prompt question, while the facing page provides notes offering context to the question, along with tips and guidance for obtaining the most meaningful answers.
Questions are grouped into categories such as βEarly Childhoodβ, βAdulthoodβ, βMarriage and Parenthoodβ, βThe Futureβ, and βLeaving Adviceβ, facilitating the creation of a structured narrative and lasting legacy from the intervieweeβs answers.
