Uplifting and Fun Day After Day

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2010

Verified Purchase

I bought this book as a Christmas present to myself! I saw it in the bookstore and didn't buy it and spent the next couple of days thinking about it, so I ordered a copy. I am very glad I did because I love it!!
When I have a coffee break or want to take a few minutes for myself I do the daily page and it makes me think and appreciate things such as: National Oatmeal day, Answer your Cat's question Day. Journal Juju has you free associating and doodling and doing fun stuff. Some days the Awe-Manic asks you to name your day, or asks you what did you get to do today, it changes the way you think about your day to day life.

This Awe-Manac, lists birthdays, and quotes and just gives the ordinary day a little lift of creativity and inspiration. Everyday becomes more adventurous and fun-filled with Jill's book. It's got a lot of eye opening questions to get your brain working and the journaling subjects are really a lot of fun. The book is filled with good, fun advice to make each day a little more pleasant.

If you feel like treating yourself to a wonderful book to help you be more creative, then look no further, you'll really enjoy this book-it's a fun, fresh and original book with lots to offer to change the mundane daily routine that we can all get caught up in. I highly recommend this creative treat. You'll use it year after year for a little uplifting creativity.

A SKY FULL OF PLATINUM STARS, 33 THUMBS-UP & 3 BUDDHA CAT PAWS-UP!

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2011

IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS since the initial publication of Jill Badonsky's inspiring AWE-MANAC, A Daily Dose of Wonder. If transformative impact is any indicator, this book possesses magic juju worth celebrating.

To date, those in our Studio have received 1,095 doses of Daily Wonder. The delightful, shiny and art-full cover is worn, dented and creased from use. The book remains at the top of the tall stack, within arm's reach of the desk, worktables, and computers. Giant coloured paper clips mark over two dozen pages for quick reference. Tattered Post-its stand sentinel along the top, looking like a festival of miniature international flags. Even Ralph, the resident Buddha Cat, has baptized the AWE-MANAC with his seal of approval - one corner of the cover has several distinct tooth marks. It is also his favorite place to perch and meditate.

There are few books which weather the test of time. THE AWE-MANAC is one of them. Where else can you find teacups filled with anti-aging potions, creativity prompts and tips to energize you. How about Daily Soul Vitamins, Toast of the Day, "I Get To" Spells and Doses of Mirth. The creativity-factor is up there with Einstein's sense of humour. Don't be mislead. THE AWE-MANAC may be fun, whimsical, even quirky yet there is pure genius in it. Jill Badonsky's "viewfinder" is unique and extraordinarily imaginative. Looking through her lens, you may "see" things you already know but they will appear enhanced, elevated and exhilarating!

P.S. Don't miss Page 436, Things To Say Over and Over to Yourself. Practice a few of these mantras. Like the best sort of magic spell, they will transform you.

Perfect for a gift!

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2011

I read in the description before I ordered the book that it would be in full color, but I'm not sure I was expecting what I received. This book is absolutely gorgeous. Substantial hard cover book (no jacket) with full color on every single glossy page, along with whimsical doodles & pictures. I bought the book for myself as a way to remember to keep a daily journal. The prompts in the book are fun, and I enjoy reading the facts every day as well - from birthdays to inspiring quotes. It also focuses on positivity & what you "get" to do on any given day vs. what you "have" to do.

I now plan to buy this book as a birthday gift for every friend I normally struggle to buy for. Not only will it be personally beneficial to many, but it's almost like receiving a work of art at the same time. You truly have to see this book in person to understand!

What a great way to start your morning! I love this book. You can use it year after year. I do not write in the book, I keep a notebook to use as a journal. I often do not use it for months at a time, then pick it back up again.

I received this book as a Christmas gift in 2009 and I've been loving it ever since! I've written all over the pages, high-lighted things like crazy, felt highly inspired (have just finished wirting my first book!), and "borrowed" many quotes to use in multiple places. I LOVE IT (obviously) and feel as though Jill Badonsky is a buddy of mine. No reservations on recommending this delightful book; and it makes a great gift.

A "Daily" Dose of Wonder is the perfect medicine for what ails you!

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2009

Jill Badonsky is herself a woman deserving of much Awe! In her newest book, "The Awe-manac: A Daily Dose of Wonder," she continues to inspire with her great wit, humor and fun antics. She doesn't look at the world through rose-colored glasses - she envisions the world through creative-colored glasses. It's lucky for all of us, she shares what she sees. Give yourself this gift, have fun looking at all the wonderful graphic art and while you're at it...pick up one for a friend too!
