Cultivate your own happy and fulfilling life through the power of lists with gorgeous guided journal.
Start your self-care journey with “joy-boosting prompts” for every week of the year—plus “frame-worthy illustrations, and stunning photography that are sure to spark your artsy side”(Women’s Health Magazine).
Drawing on happiness research and her own personal philosophy, Moorea Seal creates an inspiring tool for list lovers everywhere to discover the keys to their own unique happiness—and bring more joy and balance into their lives.
Divided into 4 sections, this beautiful, undated hardcover journal with 52 listing prompts will help readers transform their lives by encouraging them to discover exactly what makes them happy. Prompts include:
• Reflect: List the things you are really good at.
• Acknowledge: List the things you want to say no to.
• Invest: List the people you want to spend more time with before the end of the year.
• Transform: List the things you think you’ll want out of life five years from now.
Like the bestselling 52 Lists Project and 52 Lists for Calm, this keepsake journal comes in a luxurious package--full of mood-boosting photography, lovely illustrations, copper foil, and a plush burgundy velvet ribbon. Each listing prompt offers plenty of space for reflection and challenges you to take action so you can create the happiness you seek.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2024Format: DiaryVerified PurchaseThe media could not be loaded.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2022Format: DiaryVerified PurchaseOf the few lists I’ve done so far, nothing has been thought-provoking enough to stay with me during the week. If I’m not thinking about the list (and what the book suggests I do about it), I’m not getting anything out of it.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2017Format: DiaryVerified PurchaseI adore this book. First, it is beautiful and so well made. There is rose gold lettering on the cover and the spine is also metallic rose gold. There is a maroon velvet ribbon sewn in to hold your page. There are a handful of beautiful color photographs throughout the book. Most pages also have adorable color illustrations of makeup, bubble baths, records, etc. Just writing in this journal feels like a luxurious experience. I even bought a special pen to use with it.
I really enjoy the writing prompts. I am a list maker and I like to journal, but I often find myself stuck on what to write. These prompts are great. They make you reflect on things that make you happy, roadblocks to happiness, things you are grateful for, strengths you possess, the best compliments you have been given, etc. It is so nice to write these things down when I am feeling good and have them to look at when I am feeling sad and having a difficult time remembering all of the good things in my life. That is what I am most grateful for in this book. I, like many others, battle with anxiety and seasonal depression (thanks winter). This book is a way for me to get away from my obsessive thoughts and to focus my energy and concentration into something that makes me feel better. I think anything that makes your feel better when you are otherwise feeling out of control is a great tool to have.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2023Format: DiaryVerified PurchaseI look forward to seeing what the prompt will be each week and complete it with my tea on Sunday mornings. I will probably pick up a few more of these for Christmas gifts. The list format is nice because it doesn't require deep thought but still accomplishes putting you into a positive state of mind without much effort.
Update after my 52 weeks came and went - I miss this activity and wish they would release an updated version annually!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2018Format: DiaryVerified PurchaseFull disclosure: my therapist recommended this listing journal to me as she found it remarkably constructive when she got it for herself. So if a therapist thinks it's a legitimate mindfulness exercise, then you know it must be good.
It's a beautiful little book, and bound, which I hadn't expected. I'm sure there must be a ringed version out there somewhere for those who prefer it, but I was pleasantly surprised when this one came in hardback (I'm a stickler for hardbound journals, what can I say?)
It's laid out beautifully, with action steps for each list you do. It's a great exercise for anyone trying to practice gratitude and mindfulness, or for someone just looking to have fun with lists around self-discovery. Well worth the purchase. I suggest getting it at the start of the calendar year if possible, but the journal isn't based around time of year anyway. It's just a preference on my part. I'm weird.
Long and short of it: a good, reasonable investment towards your own happiness.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Nice little way to reflect and feel happy :)
Format: DiaryVerified PurchaseI am very pleased I bought this, I was feeling a tad blue due to some changes in my life and this book has just made me realise all the positives and now I am so grateful because I have remembered how happy and lucky I am in my life. It can get a bit repetitive but I have found this has helped solidify my confidence. I am not all the way through it but I would highly recommend to someone who wishes to reflect upon things, it's nice and interactive with a few lists you write out it then tells you to cross somethings out that have a certain characteristic which gives you another perspective and point of view. It's not going to cure you of anything more severe as you could write it from a very negative point of view, but it does try very hard to make you think well.
