Description

"The questions are the kinds of things I rarely see, but always hope for in this sort of book." - Customer Review "If you're like me and love lists, fun questions, or just putting pen to paper I suggest you check this book out." -Customer Review "I bought this book because I heard it was full of disgusting questions (it wasn't). What I ended up with was one of the best guides to myself that may ever exist." - Customer Review "I am absolutely addicted to these questionnaire journals and out of all I own this is one of the better ones." - Customer Review "This journal asks a lot of questions you don't normally hear in everyday life, and that's a beautiful thing." -Customer Review Who are you? Someday someone will ask themselves that question when considering your memory. What if you're not there to answer? With the 'Guided Legacy Journals' series, you always can be. This small investment ensures that your life experience, in your own words, carries on long into the future.I lost a grandmother and grandfather before reaching my teen years. As my recollection of them slowly began fading, I wished the world had offered them better means of preserving their own perspectives for me to sift through, and learn from. This longing drove me to begin dreaming up these journals, and I'm overjoyed to say that I now make a living taking feedback from and bringing comfort to people much like myself.After selling thousands upon thousands of journals, this series now contains over 35 original keepsakes. I've also continued to bring frequent improvements to my supporters for more than five years. This self-published series has done so well that Barnes & Nobles asked me to sign a major book deal with their company; that title is now being distributed worldwide, and can be found in most major bookstores.It has been one of the great pleasures of my life to see people using these guided diaries for everything from self-improvement to conversation starters at social events. The journaling community has been an inspiration; driving me to look for new ways to keep delivering consistently better products. While I'm not the first, and certainly won't be the last to publish a gift book, you'll be hard-pressed to find another author as passionate about the encounters I want for my customers. I make sure that every journal I publish is one I want to personally fill out.Maybe you're someone who wants to answer each prompt with a paragraph; I've got you covered. Maybe you only want to express yourself by circling numbers to rate things; there's a journal for that. Perhaps you're big on making lists, living in imaginary worlds, laughing at nonsense, or even letting other people answer questions about you; the 'Guided Legacy Journals' series checks all of those boxes, and I am far from finished with bringing you new adventures. You can settle into journaling with me, knowing that almost every entry is fully different from the others, and that something new will be on the horizon for a long time to come.Please make time to share your story with someone in the world; it doesn't have to be with me, so long as your legacy doesn't end up forgotten. I know what it's like to want for stronger ties to those who are gone, and not be able to satisfy said desires. The stamps we leave upon this world could and should be so much more.If you're someone who's trying to bring greater beauty, truth, and laughter into the world, then I welcome you into mine with open arms. Feel free to engage with me on Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Spotify, Pinterest, or Facebook. I love hearing about the time you spend with these books.

There are also instances of prompts designed to examine your ethical limits with regard to the acquisition of money. Therefore it is recommended that you not purchase this journal if you are easily offended by candid inquiries.

FAVORITE!

This questionnaire journal was actually a lot more adult oriented than others that I've bought. There is no artwork, it is all text. And the overall vibe of this book seems to be very mature. You get a variety of styles of questionnaires to answer such as At Random (just like it says, they are just random questions), then you get Your Lists (these are 1-10 lists of varying topics), When Someone Says___, You Think____ type questions (these ones were pretty fun to answer and were made even more fun if you just put whatever comes to your mind first and try to not overthink it), Ethics And Morality (pretty self explanatory), Your Favorites, This Or That, Superstitions and so on. There are literally no limits to the questions that you answer in this book. What I liked the most was how the front page gives you a place for your name and the date you started the journal and the end page asks Before You Die You'd Like To.... and gives a place for you to write who you want to get the journal in the event of your demise and a date completed spot. It is fun to look back over the answers in this book later in life. Overall it really got me thinking, and taught me some things I didn't know about myself as well. I love it!

Cute idea. Too many repetitive questions and some are way too personal or incriminating depending on who's going to see it.

I ordered this for my 12 year old granddaughter for a birthday present.
Luckily I skimmed through it.
The first thing I noticed was that it was not for children.
Secondly as I read murder seemed to be the main theme..would you, could you, how would you...
I will put this book in the trash

The secret is, it's kind of a scam

I completed the entire book in an hour. Don't feel enlightened. I feel ripped off.

silly waste of time

It was a silly waste of time. I didn't fill it all out. I gave it two states because it did make me think about a few things.

Asks the hard questions

I really enjoy these type books. I do them at least once a year. This particular one really makes you stop and think about your answers. Not just your typical what's your favorite color. It asks some really tough questions that cause you to pause. I do them to leave for my children and grandchildren to read when I'm gone. I want them to be proud of who I am and this book will tell them for sure.

It's kinda like going on a blind date with yourself

It's kinda like going on a blind date with yourself. You just get to learn things about yourself that you would have never known before. I loved it

Craziest thing I've ever read!!!

Omg you will bug the f out once you read this! I started bringing it around with me in purse everywhere I go so I can share it with as many people as possible! The questions are outrageous but I think because you can ask a room full of people out of a book that makes it a game, it makes the players more comfortable... U suggest you don't fill it out and read it with others and watch each other's reactions and answers! Books tragedy and comedy all in book !

AGE WARNING! At least 21...

Well I can start off by saying this book should probably come with an age warning. I purchased it for a 14 year old, and in no way am ever going to let her see it! The questions are very colorful and pry into most places people might feel uncomfy. (Guess thats the SECRET me part). On the same hand it will be somehting I will fill out. (I am 31 for the record) I am not shy about most topics, but dropped my jaw on a few of the random ones I peeked at. (example: legalize necrophilia or legalize beastiality) I don't want this to be a bad review, just one that cautions on the age and "taste" this would cater to. For what it is a give it 4 stars. Its one heck of a questionaire but be prepared.
