What's Your Story?: A Journal for Everyday Evolution by Lily Diamond, Rebecca Walker
3.0
Thanks to Netgalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review.
I thought this journal was going to focus more on creating the story of your life. Focusing on your past and how that lead to your identity and figuring out who you are. Kind of a way of writing down your own biography. That's what the beginning of the journal steered towards I thought. Though it's more a braindump on thoughts about different subjects about life and the world without the depth I expected.
Every subject/theme is introduced by a ton, but a ton of questions. It's quite overwhelming on what to exactly write down and not the best guidance for discovering thoughts in a calm way. I think breaking this entire paragraph of questions into smaller sections with related questions that you can answer would work better and calms the mind a little more.
On the other hand it's a very open format that leaves a lot to the reader to interpret and write down. A true journal style, with a little bit of guidance on where to look.
