All of these are highly rated books well worth the read. #4 & #6 are the two i have personally read. I had read the Get Untamed book and figured the journal would not dissapoint. It was a comftorable choice as well because i felt i knew a little about it. She challenges you to really think with thought provoking questions to ask yourself that deal with past, present and future. It is 224 pages, but well worth every turn. She has inspirational quotes and personal stories scattered throughout. Highly recommended. It Didn’t dissapoint. Burn After Writting was my favorite. She hops around, asking quick questions that require short to one word answers. Enlightening you from page 1. Surprisingly, because i struggle making final choices it was fairly simple to answer most. Just the way the book is written and the questions are proposed really helped me figure out a lot about me. And trust me i’ve done a lot of learning. Just a reminder there is always more to learn. There are fast answer pages. Many with two choices for you to choose one or the other. Alot of asking your opinion. By the time you close this book you won’t be ready to take on the world, but you sure will have the tools to start your bluepring of when you decide to. You may choose to use your book to keep your answers in. Because i was giving mine away i put my answers in a notebook. If you do choose to keep your answers in the book i suggest spiral bound. These two books will be given away next week (both paperback). Trust me they were worth every penny ! Two of my grandmiracles have just started “Anxiety Relief For Teens” & ” Mindfulness Workbook for kids (ages 8-12). Depending on the results these may be up for giveaways in the near future. For now out of the Four books left i want you to choose which one comes next.
