Dear Diary
GSB alum and instructor Ed Batista in his blog muses on journal writing. As part of his role as an instructor for 'Interpersonal Dynamics' at Stanford he requires students to keep a journal, and the time spent grading journals has convinced him of the value of the practice. To understand what makes this exercise meaningful, he has turned to neuroscientist Joseph Ledoux, and how journaling interacts with not only with emotional experiences but other experiences in life as well. Does journal writing have a transformative power to help us process and integrate memories ?
