You Are a Global Citizen: A Guided Journal for the Culturally Curious by Damon Dominique
4.0
Damon Dominique is one of my absolute favorite YouTubers. His openness to other cultures and languages and his sense of humor is something I already appreciated on his old YouTube channel (shared with a co-host) “Shut Up And Go”. Because of him I was so excited to go see the world and to just shut up and go by myself. Because why not.
Now, after years of watching Damon become more and more philosophical and questioning life I was super stoked when I heard he was writing a book. Or better said a guided journal.
“You Are A Global Citizen” is a book you can use as a diary while traveling or just while reflecting your own and other people’s cultures. Each chapter has a few pages of Damon’s thoughts on said topic and then is followed by lots of questions that you can answer. I didn’t write anything down in this book as I personally really don’t like doing that. But I thought about lots of the questions and most of them really made me think back to past travel experiences, my childhood and what beliefs I grew up with. Which is awesome!
I just hoped to get much more of Damon’s funny stories that he likes to share online. Unfortunately there were only about 3 or 4 in the whole book (as far as I can remember) But I guess that’s why Damon has a YouTune channel! He talks about him and his experiences there and this book is more about getting to know ourselves. I was just missing a bit of his humor and style I see online while reading this. But over in all, I enjoyed it a lot and might be using the questions for future travels. 4/5 stars
