Really enjoyed the author's first book. This was more of a reflective journal than a book. Would recommend if you're into journaling.

Thank you for allowing me to read and review.

It was definitely different. I DNF AT 30%which is a bit disappointing. I wish it had more substance.

A beautiful look though how to utilize your inner light in life and how to make your life brighter. Pun intended. Highly recommend. Especially loved the reflection to true life to humanize my feelings and relate. I felt like this book was SPEAKING TO ME. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I don’t follow many lifestyle influencers but I really liked Mallory Ervin after finding her through one of my favorite gymnasts, Shawn Johnson. I enjoyed her podcast and first book both named Living Fully and her general message was always a positive one I felt inspired by. So when I saw she had a new book coming out I was surprised yet intrigued.

It felt like I just recently read her memoir/self-help book and was curious how she already knocked out another one and what it would be about. After finishing it I think the best way to describe it would be a self-help guided journal. And the best way to sum it up is short and sweet! You could easily flip through this whole thing in a day if not an hour but the point is to take your time to reflect and journal in the spaces provided (if you have a hard copy version).

Honestly I wish this was the format of Joanna Gaines’ latest book, The Stories We Tell. I felt like that would have been better off as a guided journal with a lot of the introspective rambling cut out. So I appreciated that Ervin really cuts to the chase in her book and offers you a main theme with a few paragraphs and leaves it at that, but it did feel still a tad too short. For me it moved too quickly through the concepts and that made it difficult to absorb the information. However, since it is so short it could be something I read through once a year to realign myself, because I did like a lot of the content.

Mostly what I took away was that I want to create a vision board. I’ve heard this concept talked about before but I’ve never acted on it, and it seems kind of silly but when Ervin suggested making a digital version I found it that much more doable. Much of the book is centered around making a vision board and I felt really inspired to actually make one this time. I also loved her chapter on “fine” being the new rock bottom. She discussed this in her first book, but I’m glad it was reinforced here.

As always, Ervin’s positive personality and inspiring story to pursue living fully left me feeling motivated to follow suit. While it felt a tad bare, I also appreciated the quick hit self-help approach that was not bogged down with repetition or ramblings. I definitely see myself coming back to this to book in the future.

This looks to be a great resource and wonderful journal companion for fans of Mallory's previous book. Perfect for those who enjoy setting goals and intentions for their lives.

Love Mallory Ervin! This book isn’t necessarily a book but rather a journal and guide to implement things that Mallory discussed in her previous book, Living Fully. In this journal, it gives the space and instructions to write, plan, and reflect in addition to steps on creating vision board and identifying and manifesting goals for the future. The setup of this journal is great, and the flow works really well to understand and work through everything outlined. I can’t wait to use it to implement change in my own life!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and learn from All In. This was a pretty and positive guide/journal.
Since this was a digital version I was not able to get the full experience of the journal but there are writing prompts and sections to write reflections. The main focuses of the book are for planning a vision board, identifying core values, and manifesting goals.

A must-read for anyone who has read Living Fully. Ervin applied the message from Living Fully into this book and integrated tips and tricks on how to live the fullest and best life imaginable. Loaded with personal experiences and how she went from the lowest lows to the highest highs in her life all while teaching readers how to pivot when life doesn't always go as you imagine. Very inspirational and practical for all who want to live their fullest life.

I have to admit, I’m not usually into memoirs but this one caught my eye right away. I absolutely loved it!

Short sweet and beautifully illustrated. Felt like a journal. Pictures of Erwin’s family. Step by step instructions for vision boards. Lots of space for reflection and brainstorming what you actually want in life.

There are million books like this out there, but this one will sell because of the name on the cover. I found it to be pretty repetitive and bland.
