  «Ainda que não tenha o hábito de utilizar estes diários criativos, confesso-vos que quando a ARENA me enviou Isto É Mais Que Um Diário de Adam J. Kurtz fiquei curiosa com o seu conteúdo e não tardei a experimentar. Resultado? Ainda hoje lhe pego, dois meses depois, sendo uma presença assídua na minha mesa-de-cabeceira. Ao acordar ou antes dormir, dou por mim a pegar neste exemplar e, abrindo ao acaso uma das suas páginas (ou várias), deixo fluir as minhas emoções de maneira original.
  
  Não sei se lhe estou a dar a utilização mais correcta ou se, de alguma forma, erro na interpretação dos suas mensagens, mas para mim este livro é um conselheiro ligeiro que me ajuda a interiorizar a teoria que conheço – para me sentir bem comigo mesma – enquanto me entretém verdadeiramente. É como um lembrete psicológico e emocional que me ajuda a reflectir sobre as mais variadas questões do meu quotidiano, em relação aos outros e a mim mesma.

  Mais do que um diário, é um livro ao qual podemos recorrer para uma injecção de pensamento positivo ou para podermos desabafar. Traz muita inspiração, bom humor e exercícios para podermos retirar o melhor de nós. Poderei guardar bons momentos e também os menos bons. É um livro que irá encorajar e distrair sempre que dele precisar. Este é o livro perfeito a ter por perto neste inicio de ano. No final do ano será bom rever tudo o que foi escrito e nele partilhado. Boas leituras!

  Unique concept. Love it. I keep mine in my backpack so it's with me always. Not really a journal...but a nonlinear book with creative prompts to help you think things out on your own or give yourself a boost. As a visual person, I found it very creative and fun. Great for gifts too. I bought several for friends for Xmas. Thanks so much to the author and goodreads giveaways. Love my copy and am still playing around in it.

  This is a nice little fun book that helps your awareness with your mood, body, and consciousness. It can be a journey day to day.

  What a great concept! It's not a book, or a journal like you've seen before. It's a bit of both and a bit neither. It's something to keep in your bag so that when you're having to wait you have something to make you smile. It's your companion for those dark days lacking creativity. It's your best friend and it's tough love and happiness all together. I'm so glad I was able to find this little gem and hope to spread some cheer by sharing my favorite pep talks throughout the year.

  I know I’m supposed to draw and write all over these pages, but I just need a second book for that so this one stays in mint condition. *cries* The good reader and book care taker of me will never get over that ocd.
  
  So at this moment in time I only read through the pages and I gotta say that a lot of this made me laugh, think, or helped me face an emotion. It was both self deprecating humor and yet supportive and encouraging.
  
  It’s a good gift idea too. So totally worth picking up. (Pun not intended)

  Kurtz excels in creating modern "wreck this journal" for children, youth, and adults. This journal not only allows you to wreck it, but also gives you a little pep talk, a pat on your shoulder, and detox from internet to cheer you up. You are encourage to re-read different pages again and again, and you don't have to follow the page numbers to read or do the activities listed on the page. I really like this journal! But for some pages, you are asked to tear them down bit by bit and toss the bits and pieces away...Then what about the page on the back?

  He seguido a Adam J. Kurtz como artista gráfico desde hace varios años y siempre me ha llamado mucho la atención su forma tan particular de expresarse pero sobre todo de ver el mundo.
  Este libro más que ser algo del autor se transforma en algo propio, en parte de ti, en un amigo íntimo al cual le vas contando cada una de tus ideas, pensamientos y miedos.
  Como lo dice su nombre en español "es mucho más que un diario".

  Buku yang memiliki konsep seperti jurnal. Bahasa aslinya dalam bahasa inggris tapi yang ada di tangan saya saat ini adalah dalam bahasa indonesia yang diterbitkan oleh Elex Media. Buku ini termasuk buku yang sangat layak untuk dimiliki, diisi kapanpun kita mau dan penulis menyarankan untuk tidak mengisi tiap halamannya secara kaku atau berurutan.
  Jadi pembaca bebas membuka dan mengisi di tiap halamannya secara random
  
  Buku ini bisa dijadikan pilihan saat pikiran sedang stuck atau unispired

  Fun little book for your desk or gift for someone who has everything. Filled with page after page of ideas like, "Write your problems in pencil now, then erase them over time until you're in the clear"... and other fun, meaningful, tips and thoughts, funny pick me ups. Thats probably why it's named the Pick Me Up book!

  This book was super fun. I liked the humour and could see how it would be an excellent gift- especially for a creative person. I felt good even reading through it. For example, I liked the current best friend list, normalising change, it’s so obvious- but makes me feel less anxious about everything really!

  I love this book - such a cheery, accepting, happy but real series of ideas to get yourself moving no matter the reason you need a pick-me-up.
  
  No toxic positivity here - just acceptance and real compassion.

  This nice little book is good for those little moments when you are bored or clueless how to spend your time. Each page gives you a little exercise to do to get your to focus on yourself and do something fun or incredible.
  
  Each page has a topic for you to follow so you can work on something that is productive down the road. What makes this fun to read is that you can come back and flip to any page and remember what you wrote and continue your thoughts. Its meant to show you that you change over time and that in a couple of years/decades from now, you will be a different person with different concerns and people around you.
