Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this book. I am a sucker for journaling and really enjoyed this books. The illustrations were so cute and really was the reason why I wanted to read it. It would be amazing to have this in print copy though because having it in digital format does not do it justice. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to journal and needs to focus on reflection and their mindset.

Great activities, a lovely read.
I have enjoyed the contents a lot, even though aince I have had the ebook version, I had to get a bit creative with the actual activities.
I would recommend it to those looking to go a bit deeper with some external help.

'The Magic of Mindset' is a beautifully illustrated journal, in a way, that encourages its readers to answer difficult questions while surrounded by a sense of calm. The colourfulness but also calmness of the illustrations really furthered my understanding of the points that Johanna Wright was making.

This would make a beautiful gift, both for yourself or for others.

The Magic of Mindset by Johanna Wright is a delightful journal and creativity guide to help you cultivate mindfulness, and change your behaviour and ways of thinking, to assist in personal growth. The artwork is utterly charming! I loved the little snakes all throughout. Snakes are a perfect symbol of growth and transformation since they shed the old and emerge anew each year. And if you've ever kept snakes or observed the entire shedding process, you'll know that, just as with personal inner growth, it isn't necessarily easy. The journal is stuffed with prompts and creativity challenges to help with a wide range of components related to growth and change. Highly recommended!

***Many thanks to the Netgalley & Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing an egalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This book seems absolutely beautiful and enchanting. I love the idea behind it and the artwork is so whimsical and great! Unfortunately, I have been unable to find the link to open this on my computer and therefore I wasn't able to read through the book itself. This is to no fault of the publishers and I believe it is a misplacement of the email on my end. I plan to seek out a physical copy of my own in the future! Thank you so much for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Well written and easy to read and follow along. I am a beginner and found it had a great amount of information that a beginner or someone with more skill would still enjoy and gain information from. I would recommend to my patrons

As someone who works in a school that is actively working to promote growth mindset thinking in both our student body and our faculty/staff, I found this book very helpful. It is winsome and practical all at once, providing a creative space for the reader to work on their own thinking patterns. I've been able to modify several of the prompts for use in our classrooms and I think it is a great tool for educators!

I thoroughly enjoyed the journal prompts to identify and foster a mindset. They are different, and more thoughtful than ones I've seen before. I do have this as an ebook, which is not an ideal format. I just wrote the prompts in a journal, but I would buy this as a physical book for a gift. (This was a free ARC from NetGalley; Opinions are mine.)

Thank you Andrews McMeel Publishing and Netgalley for this ARC.

I loved this gorgeous journal, it is the perfect gift to yourself for the new decade ahead.

Gorgeously illustrated with wonderful prompts to encourage the reader to encourage to consider and adopt ways of living from a more positive mindset. I loved the prompts and how they built upon one narthex for deeper journal work.

I highly recommend this beautiful little book.

The Magic of Mindset by Johanna Wright is a healing journey that has easy to follow directions so the reader is going to reach their destination: self-awareness.

It is beautifully illustrated and each image correlates with empowering and uplifting quotes so the reader is genuinely enveloped in feelings of warmth.

Johanna unlocks the door to healing and self-love by using creative magical tasks for the reader to complete daily, or anytime for that matter. She does a beautiful job of making a hard task like self-forgiveness and self-love become easy and accessible for anyone who follows along.

This self-help guide is definitely recommended for anyone who wants to create a more meaningful, loving, and mindful life.

Because I received a digital copy to review I can not comment on the quality of the paper on which this is printed, or how well your pen will slide along the pages. The images and quotes within the book are quite magical and whimsical. This book will appeal to young journalers as well as those young at heart.
The quotes are very nice. The author gives just enough additional advice to help the reader find a few words to start writing as much or as little as they choose and feel comfortable with.

A pretty journal that has some helpful exercises for developing a positive attitude. In it, mindset theory has been reduced to an understandable message, with the journal suitable for teenagers and young adults.

I love the concept of this book. Not much of a practitioner of witchcraft or Wiccan, I thought I would see how it would work for a friend of mine, and after looking through it with her I plan on ordering her a copy as soon as I can. She loved the whole layout, the art, and the topics as a whole.

Thanks for letting me review., cannot wait to order it for her.

~This ARC has been gently provided in exchange of an honest review~

This is such a beautifully illustrated book! The author explains through her illustrations and clear messages how to achieve mindfulness. She invites us to follow different steps in order to reflect upon our deepest feelings and emotions. The Magic of Mindset is also a journal; you can write down all the reflections you are supposed to make through the journey of mindfulness. This is something I really liked, because I think that in order to achieve this kind of goal we need a different approach.
Finally, I just can say that I quite enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it.

I got a digital review copy of this book via NetGalley. There are many books about mindsets, heck I have written one as well. But there are a few that stand out. This is one of them.

What I like about the book:
- The sheer beauty and simplicity of the book. Johanna takes a complex subject and simplifies it in such a way as to not loose its essence and yet simple enough for anyone to grasp it.
- One of the success metrics I have for a book is whether or not it makes the readers think and take action. This book succeeds in this metric beyond a doubt. The questions and prompts that she gives for us to think about the complex topics are simple, provocative and most importantly effective.

What i think could have been better:
- The only thing that i can think of that could have been better is for her to go a bit more deeper on the topic.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to go out and transform their lives, one belief and one mindset at a time.

A rich and engaging, thought-provoking and colorful series of prompts from in-sticking one’s self from whatever ding, dang ails them. The book includes opportunities for discovery, reflection, planning, and contemplation through a variety of upbeat and focused ways.

As someone who loves journals and journaling, this book does not disappoint. I have to say that the imagery was simply stunning. That alone makes me adore this book. along with the thought-provoking prompts. Definitely a must read! I voluntarily read this book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.
