Create Your Dream Life is a journal that uses goal setting and affirmations as well as meditations to help you set your dream life. I would definitely gift this journal to anyone looking to set goals for themselves and get themselves on track in life.

This is a colorful, fun workshop for those who'd like to use visualization, yoga, etc. to "manifest" their dreams. I'd recommend it especially for younger audiences and for those who are into the LOA and such.

I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I am always looking for things to help me with my journal for all parts of my life. This book gave me some good tips and directions I had not throught of taking my journaling. I like the meditation parts as well. The book is broken up to four parts. Each gives options, quotes and worksheets and information while living room for growth and direction.

Awwwhhh where to start with this little pocket rocket of positivity?!

I love this book from the very first page. Its bright, colourful, engaging, motivating and so positive.

I found myself flipping through the pages and easily feeling like the ability to create my dream life was possible. I used the techniques in this book to help me start my own little creative outlet through my crochet with a blog and IG account and I've found such a sense of happiness and joy that I didn't have before when I focused on being a life coach.

This book was honestly my best Life Coach and it wasn't even my intention to be coached by a book. But this book made me realise what really matters: happiness found through doing what matters and means the most to me.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to review this book!

A cute book with some interesting ideas. Be sure to get it hard copy as I'm sure it is way more useful and enjoyable that way.

Beautiful book in many ways. It is a nice design with a delightful idea. The illustrations are delightful and the interactive use is very nice. I like the message and how helpful was well as inspirational it really is. I recommend this. I appreciate this book and how well done it is done.

This book was not what I was expecting or hoping it would be. This seems like its best suited for a young audience or something. It seemed to vague and simplistic. It contains everything we’ve all heard before. The only thing that was somewhat interesting was the interactive bits. This just wasn’t for me, and I wouldn’t recommend.

Thank you NetGalley and HCI Books for this advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

A colourful, simple, easy to read and use guide for people who want to know about meditation, yoga and eastern spiritual practices, and how to use them to create your dream life.

I found this book to be a beginner's level oriented guide, but nevertheless it still had powerful messages stated simply. Although I knew about many of the concepts explained in the book, it was inspiring reading about tips and examples to use for my own practice, and it pushed me to keep working on myself.
The only thing I didn't quite like was the art style in the book, I found it too repetitive towards the end and I think that the book would've benefited from a simpler and paler artwork, that perhaps changed a bit more along the book.

I recommend this book for people who don't know anything about meditation, yoga or eastern spiritual practices in general and want a simple guide to pick up an interest.

A fun book on how to improve your life in 20 minutes a day. A light read that was enjoyable and thought-provoking and helped you move forward if you figured out your direction but only if.

This book is a colorful introduction to meditation and mindfulness. This is best book that I can recommend to beginners. The book is simple to use with easy to follow tutorials. The author is teaching how to mediate using a journal approach as long term. Also, Darren focus on Mantras such as Gratitude. And, Joan added her touch of magic with the colorful illustrations.

Create Your Dream Life Now is a very cute book. This book gives some great information on Yoga, Meditation and mindfulness. I truly enjoyed reading through this book. This book is very colorful and the layout lends to me not being able to take the content very seriously. The font of the text used was very distracting throughout the book. I had to reread a couple pages due to the font being used. I enjoyed this book overall and would give this as a gift.

This workbook was so beautiful and inspiring for me. I could easily see myself writing in and using this physical book, possibly displaying some of the mantras and meditations that really spoke to me. This book is great for the new year to help you visualize some personal goals and desires.
This book is a quick read, more artistic than wordy. I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to change your attitude and direction of your life.

I received a free digital copy of the book Create Your Dream Life Now, by Darren Marc and Joan Coleman; in exchange for my honest review.

The book is designed as a goal-oriented journal that centers primarily around grattitude and positive affirmations. The book is designed to offer a calming balance between writing exercises and encouraging words on how to practice awareness of the present. I thoroughly enjoyed reading concepts that seem to embody positive psychology with dashes of Buddhim practices. The material would be an inspirational tool to use in both the personal and professional atmospheres. The writing often refers to the divine, and at one point referenced the practice of prayer; however, it did not isolate any one religion rather kept the idea of universal spirituality. The book reeled me in from the first few pages that discussed what SMART goals were and how important they are; this is a concept that I use almost every day in my position, utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy.

As I was reading through the material, I also completed the exercises and made a note on what I want to continue to practice in my daily life. I feel inspired; I only wish that the workbook would have offered a greater amount of exercises that would have given me more chances to explore my inner self and how to practice making positive changes. I am definitely going to reccomend this workbook to my family, friends, and colleagues.

This is a good workbook to use if you want to identify the areas to focus in on in your life. I had some difficulty in using the worksheets, not sure if it was because this was my first introduction to Darren and Joan philosophy on life and the use of this workbook. I do love any book that walks you through the authors story and viewpoints but mostly makes the content actionable, not just read along.

This is a lovely colourful book to fill in with lots of exercises, from setting goals to vision boards

It has lots of information on meditation and gives you a few to practice along with a list of affirmations to repeat to yourself everyday. It goes on to explain different types of yoga and sets you up for daily routines, as with other books, it suggests on a morning to get up and do a bit of journaling, yoga and such before even looking at your computer and phone, so setting yourself up for the day without the instant stresses from the technology.

The biggest thing for me was the list about the ego (see left) That made a lot of sense to my thought patterns lately and how CBT is used. Although I still struggle with the idea of positive thoughts, if your new to this its a good little book to start with.

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this book.

Thank you HCI Books and Netgalley for an ARC of this journal workbook.

This journal/workbook is perfect for reconnecting with your true self and delving into what you really want your life to look like. It is very easy to read and complicated,enter with beautiful, bright artwork. There are lots of examples of how you can ‘create your dream life now’ by setting SMART goals, meditating and being creative.

Darren encourages the reader to have courage to take action to manifest your dream life NOW.

This would also make a wonderful gift as the fonts, artwork and colours are divine.

Thank you for this ARC in return for my honest opinion.
