Description
Have you ever realized that we’re kinder to other people than we are to ourselves? Based on the psychology of self-compassion and built using human-centered design thinking, The Art of Imperfection is a guided journal that challenges negative self-talk and builds new ways of viewing yourself and those around you. With 50 short creative activities to choose from, you’ll write letters to your past and future selves, make a smoothie of your feelings, perform a Viking funeral, and learn to be more present in your life and relationships. Structured so that you can build up to emotionally charged exercises, with beautiful illustrations to keep you company along the way, The Art of Imperfection is a creative guide to self-compassion in a messy world.

A creative take on a junk journal! I have a few creative in my life that this would be perfect for, and I love that the format allows for any manner or medium of creative and artistic response to the prompts. I'm hoping to get back into journalism and this was a good reminder to be myself with it!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this sneak peek!
Great reflection journal. Worth taking time to write down your thoughts following various prompts. I got a few good tips that I might want to implement on my team as well. Thank you NetGalley and Familius for the ARC!

A really lovely little book full of interesting and thought provoking exercises. If you are new to journalling it can be difficult to know where to start and a book like this is perfect, you can pick and chooses what exercises you want to do and dip in and out of the book as you wish. All the exercises are designed to help you be more compassionate towards yourself and be more in tune with your faults and feelings. I really like the mixtures of activities, some are to draw or cut out as well as writing things down. I had an e-book copy and it's very easy to transfer most of the exercises to a notebook if you don't want to write in the actual book.
