This was a cute book which deals with a important topic. I loved Stanley the Bears narrative and how the author leads you on a journey of discovery. This book made me want to go and get a Bear of my own and have this to have a conversation with and help myself to acknowledge myself and appreciate the things that I can do. It just goess to show that you focus your own path of discovery with something then it helps you to develop yourself in positive ways with the journal pages.

Thoughts:
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. It definitely felt a little weird being spoken to by a bear. Some of the elements discussed I already knew and enjoy practicing such as the body scan but I was also introduced to new ones such as RAIN (Recognise Accept Investigate Nurture). Stanley’s words of the day spread throughout the book are cute and are even better once I read their origins, and the images accompanying them gave me a warm and homey feel. Having the hyperlinks such as to the meditation teacher were great for further learning and having what would Stanley do journal prompts as well as the extra ones at the end were a great way to apply the concepts.
Favourite Quote:
"If you would forgive a friend for something, you should be able to forgive yourself for that same thing. If you would comfort and support a friend in a certain situation, you should be able to comfort and support yourself in the same situation."
