You Are Doing a Freaking Great Job and other Reminders of Your Awesomeness Reviews


  • Minh Nhân Nguyễn

    5 sao.



    Cuốn sách nhỏ nhắn gồm những câu nói, có thể từ một người nổi tiếng hoặc một câu nhận định thông thường, với mục đích truyền cảm hứng, khích lệ tinh thần, hướng người đọc đến lối sống tích cực.

    Những câu chữ được đưa vào đây đã được chọn lọc rất tốt rồi, ngắn gọn, xúc tích và thiết thực; nhưng điểm đặc sắc nhất chính là chúng đều được trình bày rất đẹp, hầu hết đều do các họa sĩ vẽ tay nên rất độc đáo.

    Sách dày gần 400 trang với 200 mẫu thiết kế như thế, 2 trang kề nhau thì 1 bên là trang màu trơn, trang còn lại là hình vẽ, nhìn trang nhã và không bị rối, chủ yếu là gam màu nhạt nên cũng dịu mắt.

    Đôi khi được chen vào vài fact, list nhạc/sách hay công thức khá thú vị. Nói chung với một cuốn sách truyền cảm hứng thì như vậy là quá đạt yêu cầu rồi. Cuốn này dùng làm quà tặng thì rất ổn, mua cho bản thân cũng ok, lâu lâu lại mở ra ngắm nghía mà không sợ chán :).

  • Rebecca

    Cute little book of affirmations. Good for those days when you are feeling like things aren't going very well.

  • Kailey (Luminous Libro)

    This book has 200 positive affirmations and encouraging sayings designed with beautiful graphics and fonts. The book is tiny, barely 4x4 inches, so it's the perfect little pocket-sized gift.

    Each page has a design with a quote or saying that lifts your spirits and gives you courage to face the day and go after your dreams. On some of the opposite pages there are recommendations for meditations, recipes, music playlists, inspiring books, and simple activities to make your day happier and more fulfilling.

    My only disappointment is that the pages are not perforated, so that you could tear one out and give it to a friend. The book is designed be a gift as a whole, not for each page to be given away. The pages are thick, almost like thin cardstock paper, so they would be perfect to give a little encouraging note to a friend. But it would not be easy to tear out a page without the perforated edges. Ah well. Too bad.

    The messages vary from quotes of famous people to little proverbs and cliches.
    "The time for action is now."
    "Life is just a moment, so enjoy it."
    "You are magnificent."
    "Always believe something wonderful is about to happen."
    "There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind."-C.S.Lewis

    What makes this book special are the beautiful designs and lovely fonts on each page! There are gorgeous colors and interesting patterns and drawings. This would make a beautiful gift, and works as an excellent encouragement any time you need a little cheering up!

    A tiny coffee table gift book with lovely artistically drawn quotes mixed with little bits of writing about positivity here and there, recipes, playlists, and lots of encouragement to drink??? Between that and some swears this is certainly not your mother's positivity book, nor am I sure it offers wholesome, rounded advice to be a healthy person, but just the quote art alone would make a great daily calendar!

  • Cody

    It was a fun little book filled with an assortment of uplifting quotes and other fun tidbits of information. Loved reading a page or two a day when I felt like it.

  • Rich Schellhase

    An amazingly positive book that I used in my classroom before every day and my students would page through as needed!

  • Sarah Lombard

    This book is great. It made me feel good.

  • Ebtihal

    كتيب باللغة الانجليزي يحتوي في كل صفحة على عبارة تشجيعية او اقتباس + مدعوم برسومات
    احيانا يكون في الصفحة المقابلة للعبارات التشجيعية بعض القصص او وصفات طبخات او توصيات لمقاطع او كتب ملهمة

  • Mae Ricci

    Fun collection of quotes and affirmations that I can read whenever I need encouragement, or tear off to share in creative snail mails with friends.

  • Susan Taylor

    LOVE!
    Perfect for the workplace, classroom, households, or anywhere, really!
    The perfect gift, too.

  • Kristina

    This is a great reminder and it has lots of great suggestions.

  • Emily

    The cutest little book with the coolest illustrations. I love the quotes and the artwork that accompanies it.

  • Jim Miotke

    Love this little book. Out of the roughly 195 reminders, I have about 80 absolute favorites. The art is fun and creative and usually fits the reminder. All in all, a fricken great little book.

  • Karl

    A great motivational book.

  • Mandi Lucci

    I thought this book was really interesting insightful

  • Kristina Aziz

    This little book is adorable. I wouldn't buy it for the quotes themselves because the internet is full of affirmations and subscriptions for affirmations should you want a daily thing. But the pictures that accompany the quotes are great and it's small enough that you can tear a page out to stick into a loved one's lunch box or briefcase. Overall, this is a good gift for the price I got it at (1.00 at the book outlet) and small enough to rest by the computer or fit in a purse.
