Telling the Stories of Life Through Guided Autobiography Groups is written by James E. Birren and published by JHU Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0801866332 (ISBN 10) and 9780801866333 (ISBN 13).

Birren has conducted more than twenty-five years of autobiography groups, where participants recall, write, and share their life stories. He offers "how-to" tips for organizing, complementing, and understanding oral history works. He finds that the exercise is rewarding for adults entering periods of transitions, such as the elderly population, and encourages the sharing of experiences with others on the same journey.
