Wreck This Journal is an unconventional interactive book designed to inspire creativity by encouraging readers to “wreck” it in imaginative ways. Instead of traditional writing or journaling, it contains prompts that ask users to tear, draw, stain, fold, and experiment with the pages.
Keri Smith created the journal to help people overcome perfectionism and creative fear by embracing randomness, imperfection, and play. Each page presents a different instruction that challenges the reader to engage physically and creatively with the book.
The experience is highly personal, as every copy becomes unique based on how the reader chooses to interact with it. It encourages mindfulness, artistic freedom, and a more relaxed approach to creativity.
Wreck This Journal is widely regarded in creative and art activity literature. It is ideal for artists, students, and anyone seeking to unlock creativity, offering a fun, experimental, and freeing approach to self-expression and imagination.
