Editorial Reviews

One way to achieve your goals or get your life straightened out is to journal. This book is a great resource that only takes 5 minutes a day, so it is easy to fit into your schedule. The writing prompts and questions assist you in reflecting on your past to help determine your future. This is a great resource for anyone getting into journaling or someone more experienced looking for more guidance.”—Nancy K

“I’m not a stoic (I don't think), but I love the prompts in this journal. They help guide my reflections and open me to new mindsets. My favorite prompts are the ones that ask you to think about an issue, problem, or difficulty and try to imagine the positivity in the situation.” —Shana

“It is a beautiful exercise to open this first thing in the morning and answer a few questions. . . . I would highly recommend this for anyone who wants to start their day with some thought-provoking questions that will help them be a better person and, in turn, make the world a better place.” —Jeremiah O.
