There's so much to love about this journal. It's a masterpiece. I'm still blown away. It's nothing like any other journal I've seen and, as a psychologist, I've seen a lot of journals, self-reflection diaries, and apps. But this is completely different. This is the most comprehensive, thought-provoking, and intriguing journal I've ever seen to date. I must admit, I personally put off even looking at the one I…

There's so much to love about this journal. It's a masterpiece. I'm still blown away. It's nothing like any other journal I've seen and, as a psychologist, I've seen a lot of journals, self-reflection diaries, and apps. But this is completely different. This is the most comprehensive, thought-provoking, and intriguing journal I've ever seen to date. I must admit, I personally put off even looking at the one I purchased, because I found the thought of embarking on such introspection overwhelming. But the reading part of the Story of My Life Journal got me started. That made it much easier to know where to start. I also love that it's undated, meaning I can put off using it and start writing at any date. That makes it a lot easier to start, in my opinion, because I don't have to start until I'm ready. I cannot overstate it: the Story of My Life Journal is superb. I highly recommend it to anybody who is curious and feels something is missing in their life. I would rate 6 stars if I could.

Story of My Life Journal★★★★★
There have been two major things that stand out for me with the Journal. First, I love the clear structure and solid guidelines. I’m a bit of a scatterbrain, so if I don’t have something concrete to follow, I’ll soon lose interest – but the Journal has made it super easy for me to stay on track, right from day 1. Second, what I particularly love about the Journal is the research. Unlike other journals out there, you…

Second, what I particularly love about the Journal is the research. Unlike other journals out there, you know that the journey you’re following is all based on real, legit psychology and wellness theory. Not just cos they’re telling you that – the links to all the research are included for you. It’s the real deal! (Plus it’s just a bloody good read. Can I say that?)

I’ve just started using the Story of My Life journal and recommend it to anyone who wants to make a change or improvement in their life but isn’t quite sure where to start. It includes just the right amount of theory and context to get you going, without bombarding you with information (although everything is well referenced if you did want to deep dive further into a particular point). You go through a logical…

I’ve just started using the Story of My Life journal and recommend it to anyone who wants to make a change or improvement in their life but isn’t quite sure where to start. It includes just the right amount of theory and context to get you going, without bombarding you with information (although everything is well referenced if you did want to deep dive further into a particular point). You go through a logical process of thinking through things like who you want to be, traits you want to leave behind and goals that you want to work towards, then there’s easy-to-follow templates and journal prompts for you to complete each day/ week/ month etc. You could also just dive straight into the daily journal entries if you wanted to get momentum going quickly as these could easily work as a standalone tool as well. To be superficial for a moment, the book and pages feel high quality and are easy to write on which is nice when you’re going to be (ideally) using it a lot!

I felt I was already more 'enlightened' than most having already discovered the importance of understanding your core values and living your life according to them. I also think holistic health and wellbeing (not just physical but mental, emotional, spiritual, etc.) is incredibly important. Yet, as a typical male in his 30s, I wasn't exactly proactive about taking care of myself. And like most human beings, I often…

I felt I was already more 'enlightened' than most having already discovered the importance of understanding your core values and living your life according to them. I also think holistic health and wellbeing (not just physical but mental, emotional, spiritual, etc.) is incredibly important. Yet, as a typical male in his 30s, I wasn't exactly proactive about taking care of myself. And like most human beings, I often struggled with the existential question of what I was doing with my life. As soon as I discovered the Story of My Life Journal I knew it was something I needed in my life. I was blown away by how it so effortlessly knitted proven strategies for optimising mental health with values-based goal-setting. Not to mention explaining the impact of our 'stories' on our values, something I was completely unconscious to before now (I guess I wasn't that enlightened)! It is such an incredibly valuable tool not only to manage my day-to-day mental and emotional wellbeing, but to ensure I am taking ownership of my life and making meaningful progress towards the goals that make me a better, happier and more fulfilled person. If you want to take control of your life, do yourself a huge favour and buy this Journal. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Life after cricket is actually a bit chaotic. Lots of little things from every direction fill my days now rather than having one clear path to success. That leaves me feeling a bit directionless and I was losing focus on how to prioritise and build on my strengths to deliver another successful career.

Life after cricket is actually a bit chaotic. Lots of little things from every direction fill my days now rather than having one clear path to success. That leaves me feeling a bit directionless and I was losing focus on how to prioritise and build on my strengths to deliver another successful career. My wife bought the Journal as a Christmas gift so we are working through it together and discovering things about ourselves, our desires, our strengths and weaknesses, and as a result we are communicating and planning and supporting each other in ways we would not naturally have experienced. It's early days but we are committed to the process based on how its shaping us thus far.
