Gudetama: Mindfulness for the Lazy by Wook-Jin Clark
5.0
Note: I was able to read this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Gudetama is a fairly popular Sanrio character. He is a little egg and is known for being somewhat lazy.
This book teaches key ideas about mindfulness and self-care by having Nisetama (a human dressed as an egg) teach Gudetama and others in a comic strip.
The artwork is crisp and cute - it’s a style I love and I saw that Woo-Jin Clark has also worked on Bee and Puppycat and Adventure Time which are similar in style. The colours pop, everything has a bubbliness to it which is friendly and fun.
Content-wise, there are lots of aspects covered such as meditation, social media, friendliness and positive attitude, sharing, self-care, organisation, personal space, sympathy and empathy.
You can dip in and out or read it all at once and it’s a short and easy read.
I really enjoyed reading the comic strip and seeing the life lessons in action. I certainly will take on board done if the lessons - especially relating to social media use!
This would make a nice gift or can be a little self-care treat!
