Some good and thought-provoking journaling prompts; however some of the prompts were written with the assumption that the reader has kids。 🤦🏻♀️ Normalize the fact that some people don’t want kids， and that women don’t need to have children to have meaning and fulfillment in their lives。

A book you write in！ Still in the process takes alot if thought to me！

“maybe you realized your ‘self’ is just a construct， a thing you make and remake everyday。” This has quite literally taken me a year to finish。 Some of these prompts were A Lot。 They made me address things I haven’t really addressed before。 Some were fun and inspiring。 Anyway， I enjoyed this little self reflection。

when i first got the book i just thought it’d be cool but the questions actually go deep and it’s a nice thing to vent in。 i got one in 2019 and bought one just last week again this is such a nice book to just have

Adorei este livro！ Não vou dizer que não fiquei um bocadinho desiludida quanto ao que este livro é， pois estava à espera de um livro para ler e não escrever。 Porém， ao "ler" e analisar o conteúdo do mesmo， acho que é bastante interessante para nós， enquanto adultos （quase） dependentes da tecnologia e redes sociais， escrever o que nos vai na cabeça e na alma， sem que as outras pessoas saibam。 Além disso， tirar uns minutinhos do dia para preencher uma ou outra alínea presente no livro， é reflectir Adorei este livro！ Não vou dizer que não fiquei um bocadinho desiludida quanto ao que este livro é， pois estava à espera de um livro para ler e não escrever。 Porém， ao "ler" e analisar o conteúdo do mesmo， acho que é bastante interessante para nós， enquanto adultos （quase） dependentes da tecnologia e redes sociais， escrever o que nos vai na cabeça e na alma， sem que as outras pessoas saibam。 Além disso， tirar uns minutinhos do dia para preencher uma ou outra alínea presente no livro， é reflectir sobre a mesma e sobre nós。 Para quem se sentir sobrecarregado e oprimido pelo mundo que vivemos， este livro é perfeito e 5 estrelas。 。。。more

For sure this is not a book。 Maybe it’s a calendar or something similar。 Every page and every sector is very self revealing， if you are ready for it。 I rate it with only 3 stars because I believe that the questions inside are questions that I already asked myself。 Though if you are afraid of these questions and you never ask yourself， feel free to try it

I got this book to try to challenge myself to dig deeper。 I was hoping it would be some good writing prompts。 The questions were pretty surface level， considering the book said over and over that it was all about asking the hard questions。 Also there were multiple questions that were repeated over and over in the book。 It was repetitive and needed more editing。

Absolutely love this little book！ I bought one for my friend too！ The insights have been incredible。 Some of the questions have had me taking a trip down memory lane and some have made me realise that I am still holding onto some grudges which need releasing。 Highly recommend - as starseeds and lightworkers we need to work through these questions and release or celebrate！

Corny， but fun to write through。 It’s especially good as a nice warm up before sitting down to write something more lengthy。 Really gets the juices flowing。

Honnêtement， l'expérience était loin d'être mauvaise。 Certaines personnes ont tendance à se décrire plus facilement que d'autres。 Se connaître soi est très important mais on peut s'oublier et perdre tout but ou toute notion de ce qu'on veut devenir avec les années。 Du coup ce livre me paraissait prometteur， je me disais que j'allais pouvoir expier tout mes démons et mes chaotiques souvenirs pour faire table rase de tout ce merdier。 J'aime l'idée du journal guidé puisque je tiens un journal et qu Honnêtement， l'expérience était loin d'être mauvaise。 Certaines personnes ont tendance à se décrire plus facilement que d'autres。 Se connaître soi est très important mais on peut s'oublier et perdre tout but ou toute notion de ce qu'on veut devenir avec les années。 Du coup ce livre me paraissait prometteur， je me disais que j'allais pouvoir expier tout mes démons et mes chaotiques souvenirs pour faire table rase de tout ce merdier。 J'aime l'idée du journal guidé puisque je tiens un journal et que mon manque de régularité vient du fait que soit j'écris trop soit pas assez。 Sauf que la quand j'ai tenu ce livre que j'ai payé 12 balle pour un format assez mitigé， une impression clairement pas ouf （les teintes grises sur les seules pages avec plus de 6 lignes sont vraiment trop marquées， on croirait à un scan raté et c'est sûrement le cas maintenant que j'y réfléchis。） et un ennui profond devant ce qui ressemble surtout à un tas de ligne trop petites pour écrire， j'étais assez dégouté。 Séparé entre passé， présent et futur， les recommendations et phrases ésotériques pour nous plonger dans l'ambiance sont si peu crédibles que ça en devient ridicule 。 Mention spéciale à l'avant dernière page qui m'invite à retenter l'expérience plus tard en invoquant des arguments mystiques qui me dépasse encore。 Se connaître passe par ses goûts personnels certes mais je n'ai pas besoin que le livre me demande 40 000 fois mes musiques / albums / films préférés。 Je croyais qu'on était là pour lâcher ses pires secrets et hontes， pas pour faire une liste des 5 objets qu'on emporterait sur une île。 Ce n'est pas vraiment le genre d'info que j'ai envie de brûler。 Alors oui， une partie de moi est heureuse d'avoir découvert que ce genre de livre de développement personnel pouvait être bénéfique mais je ressors de ce livre avec un goût amer。Tout était d'une platitude incroyable， je ne suis pas vraiment du genre à considérer ma vie exceptionnelle mais remplir ce livre avait parfois la même saveur que de remplir une déclaration d'impôt。 Trouver une réponse automatiquement pour achever le tout pour m'en libérer。。。 Ah et puis j'ai adoré le petit côté heterocentré avec le fait de cocher une case exploit si on a déjà embrasse quelqun du même genre 😅。 Désolé ce n'est pas vraiment un exploit pour moi Shannon， juste une réalité。Donc en conclusion， pourquoi pas。 Certaines questions m'ont vraiment réfléchir même si l'expérience m'a laissé fréquemment un goût d'exasperation （ toute la partie mon amour par exemple 😬） Mais chercher une meilleure édition même si vous devez passer par de l'anglais。 。。。more

I felt it’s this book I could truly let out whatever I was feeling because no one will ever read it and I think that if you are going through shit you will like this。

A fun， interactive journal - I started it alone， but have been doing with hubby over wine nights and we both enjoy flipping to a page and sharing our dreams and secrets together。

Cathartic！ More of a journal you write than a book to read， but a very helpful exercise。

Fasctinating book - it's a series of questions， a lot of them， and they're insightful and make you think。 Suppoedly they're there ot make you think about character， who you are， and stimulate creativity。 I think I agree with it。 The questions aren't always easy， but I found it helpful going through them （and no， didn't answer all of them） Fasctinating book - it's a series of questions， a lot of them， and they're insightful and make you think。 Suppoedly they're there ot make you think about character， who you are， and stimulate creativity。 I think I agree with it。 The questions aren't always easy， but I found it helpful going through them （and no， didn't answer all of them） 。。。more

'Burn After Writing' is essentially a template journal of sorts to pen one's deep thoughts。 Despite the effort to categorise the book into 'Past，' 'Present' and 'Future' to encourage reflection， it feels like more of a superficial chat you'd have with oneself or someone else than a riveting conversation。 While I did enjoy the questions and trivia， I didn't feel like I poured my soul enough to 'burn it'。 The questions are a touch-and-go rather than a 'let's take this question and really dig in' k 'Burn After Writing' is essentially a template journal of sorts to pen one's deep thoughts。 Despite the effort to categorise the book into 'Past，' 'Present' and 'Future' to encourage reflection， it feels like more of a superficial chat you'd have with oneself or someone else than a riveting conversation。 While I did enjoy the questions and trivia， I didn't feel like I poured my soul enough to 'burn it'。 The questions are a touch-and-go rather than a 'let's take this question and really dig in' kind of journal。Also， the author tries to preface certain chapters with poetic prose that does not come through; it feels rather forced in order to prep you for that journaling mode。This is a good book for ultra beginners， pre-teens or teenagers， and not necessarily those who are familiar with journaling or have already done a bit of it before。 。。。more

I was not expecting to write about me。 I thought I would find cool writing prompts to practice any kind of writing。 But writing about my past， present， and future wasn’t as hard as I thought it would and I really took the rule to be 100% honest to heart。 By the end of the book， it was sometimes hard to about stuff like the future。 This exercice made me realize that you have to surrender to God and just live。 It also made me understand myself more and be more compassionate towards my old self。 De I was not expecting to write about me。 I thought I would find cool writing prompts to practice any kind of writing。 But writing about my past， present， and future wasn’t as hard as I thought it would and I really took the rule to be 100% honest to heart。 By the end of the book， it was sometimes hard to about stuff like the future。 This exercice made me realize that you have to surrender to God and just live。 It also made me understand myself more and be more compassionate towards my old self。 Definitely recommend it！ PS I don’t think I’ll burn it。 It’ll be fun to see in 10 years what I wrote lol。 。。。more

Questions are very thought provoking but to read the way the author write reminds me of how i answer things when half a sleep。 It feels like its going somewhere and drops off to something basic and untrue。 Like， it feels very contrived。 ie "its impossible to tell the truth， especially when writing about yourself" ， "write something beautiful with your hand and you can be sure it will last for an eternity" " you cant look at something without changing it; you cant look at yourself without changin Questions are very thought provoking but to read the way the author write reminds me of how i answer things when half a sleep。 It feels like its going somewhere and drops off to something basic and untrue。 Like， it feels very contrived。 ie "its impossible to tell the truth， especially when writing about yourself" ， "write something beautiful with your hand and you can be sure it will last for an eternity" " you cant look at something without changing it; you cant look at yourself without changing"Idk about the rest of you but every example makes me say "what。 That isnt even true。" 。。i swear i say that stuff every night。 Lol。 。。。more

I’m horrible at journaling。 I hate it， but I was struggling for a long time， and every single person in my life （even strangers on the internet） highly recommended it。 I forced myself for many years to make an effort but I just never could。 Along comes this book， with PROMPTS: and my sense of self efficacy exponentially increased。 The prompts made it easier for me to know what to write。 What I wasn’t expecting was that in a very indirect way， this is a self help book， too。 I’ve started reading s I’m horrible at journaling。 I hate it， but I was struggling for a long time， and every single person in my life （even strangers on the internet） highly recommended it。 I forced myself for many years to make an effort but I just never could。 Along comes this book， with PROMPTS: and my sense of self efficacy exponentially increased。 The prompts made it easier for me to know what to write。 What I wasn’t expecting was that in a very indirect way， this is a self help book， too。 I’ve started reading some of those but never finished one。 So the fact that I wasn’t expecting a self help factor consequently got me to finally finish one。 I really had to dig deep for this one。 Alone in my room， I still found myself looking behind my shoulders to make sure no one could see what I was writing。 You were instructed to be brutally honest， and after skipping multiple pages that I didn’t want to answer， I eventually went back and let it all out。 It took my longer than expected to finish this book。 I thought it would serve for me like a time capsule; I’d finish it in a day and then later on I could see even the deepest crevices of my mind when I eventually dug it up somewhere and reread what I wrote。 I hid the book as soon as I was finished; unsure if it was because I was scared someone would find it or because of the shock and slight shame of the honesty in my answers。 It’s 3 months later。 I’ve thought about the book often since I finished it。 I couldn’t remember exactly everything I wrote， but the prompts stuck with me。 They made me a better version of myself subconsciously which I was not expecting at all from a $7 Amazon journal。 I just skimmed all my answers over again and now I really do understand the title。 I’d love to burn this thing to ashes。 That person is not me anymore。 I am not embarrassed by her， but I’m ready to leave her behind。 。。。more
