Thank you Netgalley and Zondervan for a copy in exchange for an honest review.
I think this book should besplit into two parts. You have the personal stories from the author and then you have the do-it-yourself part.
The do-it-yourself part I believe is good to use as prompts in your journal or you can go through them and learn things about yourself and discover who you are. I thought these parts were done well and have some explanation to get you on the way. Though these topics and prompts are general and not really unique, but then again can you still be unique in that topic these days. It's more about how you bring it to the audience and if it helps and encourages the reader.
The personal stories are basically the author going through all the prompts herself and you get to learn about her. These parts were fun to read in the beginning, but about halfway I was kinda done with them. A lot of returning topics and I didn't feel myself engaged anymore. That took stars away for me. It started to feel incredibly long and I started skipping parts at that point.
