Guest: Sarah White, Personal Historian
Owner, First Person Productions
Before you say, "I couldn't do that!" listen to this program and hear personal historian, Sarah White, describe just how to go about writing your own history. "It's been said that writing an autobiography is like chocolate for the brain," says Sarah. Scientists have found evidence that looking back in time engages many parts of the brain and can improve your well being and your overall health.
Sarah White shares Dr. Gene Cohen's assertion that there are five activities we need in our lives to boost our brain power: Mental Exercise; Aerobic Physical Exercise; Challenging Leisure Activities; Strong Social Networks, and Mastery. "Writing your memoir," said Sarah, "addresses at least three of them," and she makes a case for all five.
Why write a memoir? To leave a record of your life; To enjoy a new hobby; To sharpen memory; To find new insights; To celebrate life and all it offers. Functioning as a memoir writing coach, Sarah guides people to write their own stories as your finished gift to the future.
