The Book of Joy Journal: A 365 Day Companion

Nice journal - I made a mistake thinking it was a book full of text - still nice item as gift - has numbered lined pages for keeping personal journal .

a glorified diary/day book very overpriced sent back

I expected the 'journal' to include more extensive thoughts and writings of the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu. I wonder if they know that the publishers are making money from only a quote every 16 pages! I respect and value the thoughts of these great icons, but this journal full of blank pages is just a disappointment I'm afraid.

Lo compré pensando que era un libro pero me llegó un diario, si tiene entre cada 20 o 30 páginas unos “dichos” pero realmente sólo vale para apuntar cosas como u diario o un cuaderno

is this a joke ? fyi 80% of the book is just blank pages. this is a glorified very expensive notebook

It was great to see how detailed is the book even from outside and can be a perfect gift.

The quality of paper was very poor

This is pretty much a blank journal, but the cool thing is that every few pages is a quote from the Book Of Joy by Desmond Tutu and the Dali Lama that can help re-center you on your practice. If you already have a practice of daily meditation on joy or gratitude, this will be a great companion, or if you want to newly start a practice it can be helpful too. And it is just numbered Day 1, 2, 3, etc. all the way up to 365 so (a) you can start any day of the year, and (b) you don't have to worry if you miss a day. But why would you? :-) Helpful for a conscious re-centering every day focus on what is good (big or small) instead of what is wrong, no matter how bad it may seem.
