The Hero's Journal Reviews

Hello! I am using the Galaxy Journal for violin and music practice. I have in the past used Ink and Vole calendar journals for keeping track of schedules and also goals. I am continuing to use these also for dates and times. The Adventure Journals help to enhance this system and to bring my goals to life. I have also practiced the 12 Week Year, which I also love. I think the author is Steve Coran. I bought your journals because the Facebook ad made them look fun. I am happy with my pur...

Hello! I am using the magic academy journal for health challenges, diet and exercise. These are pretty tough, because I mostly like to sit and read, and I Love cookies and chocolate. Also Diet Coke. I love the journals and hope to buy more for my kids for a holiday gift. Thanks! Carol

Hello! I Love the journal. I am a pencil and paper person. I pull it our whenever I have a few minutes. I am using the Adventure Journal for mental/emotional development, promotion of my music teaching studio, and projects on my teaching and home space. I am already feeling better. Thanks! Carol

Prior to The Hero's Journal, I was using traditional Moleskine notebooks and Microsoft OneNote to journal. While these tools are good for the task at hand, there's no guidance, direction, or help for using these tools for that task, and it's easy to get frustrated or distracted and quit. Enter The Hero's Journal, the true hero for my needs. Now, I'm journaling every day, and my journaling hobby finally has direction and purpose, and it finally fills the mental, emotional, and spiritual needs th...

I appreciate the small yet achievable goals to try each day. The cards work well alongside the journal and encourage me to try different things each day. The artwork is pleasant, and the cards are resilient playing cards. I expect to get several uses of the deck before noting any wear and tear.

I love the way my journal actually works, and I do it! It combines the correct concepts that make my day progress, and it keeps me checking in with it throughout the day when I need to focus again.

I am loving my royal purple Hero's Journal. My goal is not very concrete but I'm still making progress on habit-building. A few habits have "graduated" from daily tasks within the journal to the bookmark! The red and green journals that I'm officially reviewing are still safely in their boxes (they were on sale) for my next adventures. I'm also hoping I can talk up the Hero's Journal to someone and then say, "Hey, I have a blank one if you want it." :)

This journal was more than I expected! It’s bigger than what I imagined and the artwork is amazing! I would recommend for anyone, any age. It arrived inside a neat little box, which you can color and it protects the journal. You can just tell it is going to be worth the journey because you really get what you pay for.

I’m teaching a mythology class to high schoolers this semester (some online and some face to face) I was telling them about how difficult it was to articulate my own quest, and how this format is making my “goal setting “ process enjoyable 🥰 I have often asked students to journal gratitude statements, so I really love that, but I sooooo appreciate the threats and allies section! Looking to find my own Samwise Gamgee in my tribe.

I love my journal! It's the perfect balance of the creative and the practical. I use it every day, color in it, plan in it, just muse in it. Love it!

This is by far the coolest journal ever. Being an IT gal and everything like books to quilting patterns are electronic, there isn’t much in the way of paper that I have. Everything I do almost is electronic all the way down to my Kindle. So to actually have a book with paper in it...with cool pictures and a fantastic lead into to grab your attention...is Awesomeeeeee

This is the best journal I've ever owned, the prompt style entries make it feel like less pressure to write more than is absolutely necessary. The wonder of the hero's journal comes from the charm of the art and the theme of following a quest. As a fan of fantasy and adventure, this was an easy purchase to make!

First journal I received had a dragon bite out of a page. I contacted the lovely heros journal team and they quickly sent a brand spanking new one. Very impressed with the artwork and solid make of the journal. The red is true bright red and means I won't misplace it.

So happy with this journal. It's a lot thicker than I expected and it's beautifully made! No expense spared. The paper quality is perfect, as well. Just overall happy with the journal itself and all the extra goodies with the special edition were an awesome addition.

The journal is great! The prefatory sections have a lot of good advice for how to make the most out of the journal and I've found each section useful. My quest is to get back into writing short stories and the layout and features of the journal are perfect for that. I use the notes section each day to write down whether and to what extent I was able to adhere to my daily writing goals. So like one goal would be to focus on a character or to cut down adjectives and write as plainly as possibl...

I loved getting the journals, and seeing the illustrated boxes. Thumbing through the books, I could see that they were well-made and it very enticing to begin writing in them. However, my daughter was over and immediately fell in love with journal and "all of her favorite quotes from her favorite authors." Well, that book ended up going home with my daughter. My granddaughter loved the second book, and I was left without a journal. I once again ordered a set. As soon as they arrived, my life-lon...

I love everything about my Hero's journal! The illustrations are fabulous, and the whole idea is so unique and inspiring! I haven't started it yet, because I have two projects right now with deadlines that I have to focus on, but as soon as I'm done, I'm going to set aside some time to really dig in. Thanks for a wonderful product!

As much as I’ve loved this journal for myself, it has been come an invaluable tool for my husband. He suffers with severe anxiety and this has given him structure his day with an intriguing twist. The journal is formatted in a way that allows him to view each daily hurtle as an enemy or obstacle in his quest rather than a roadblock where his anxiety can fester.

I'm just getting started really. I didn't open the attachments in the email because I wanted to save them until I got my journal, but even then, I don't have a quest in mind. I've decided to print out 20 daily pages and the habit tracker for the rest of the month. I just got a new job 2 days ago, so I feel like I should be honing in on a quest soon! I have a Cricut so I should be able to print the stickers too! How fun!

I can’t believe how much I’m enjoying this journal! I’ve tried so many and nothing has ever worked me. I’m a month in and sticking to it. Coloring the pages in my free time has been so relaxing. I ordered the double pack and am already planning on getting more plus the holiday special color they announced this month - royal purple - so excited! Thank you for taking a leap and creating this amazing journal of adventure ❤️

I bought this journal as a gift and it exceeds mine and the person receiving it expectations. It’s incredibly detailed and the pages are filled with the love, time and dedication it took to make it. Honestly, it’s one of the best journals I’ve ever seen. Highly, highly recommend

This is literally the coolest journal I've ever had. I absolutely love it. The fact that it lays things out as a quest keeps me coming back to it and actually achieving my goals. Ill never settle for another normal journal.

I've been feeling pretty scatterbrained since quarantine started, but this journal has really helped create more structure in my daily life, but in the most fun and thoughtful way. I have felt much more clear headed and prepared for my day since using it. Thank you!

This journal looks like it is aimed mainly at youngsters, but at sixty-something I am enjoying using it. It helps motivate me to keep focused on a main goal, and to encourage myself by noting incremental progress. The book is nicely made and attractive.

This Journal is a great way to start a goal. My goal is very far in the future, as I am putting together sort of a 2 year plan, so I bought the trilogy pre-order. I have written every day so far since opening my order and I plan to continue. It is helping me get my life back on track physically and mentally. 10/10 would recommend

I love the concept and the illustrations are cute. I wish the illustrations took up less space to leave more room to write, or at least appeared in lighter print so they could be written over. The illustrated key in the beginning is helpful, as are the definitions. The daily quotes are fun and a nice touch. Very satisfied with my purchase.

Having read Joseph Campbell, Jane McGonigal, and Steven Kamb's books on the hero's journey and gamification I had already had many of the concepts that the Hero's Journal tries to incorporate. I have been playing my own version of "Level up your life" with my bullet journal and some personal quests/goals. I purchased the digital version because I knew I would be modifying the lay out and use. I really love many of the things used. The stages of the journey, the timed reviews, the gratitude secti...

I recently purchased two journals for my sons (ages 28 3/4 and 21) who are both at a stage of life where a Hero's Quest matters. I may end up getting myself a copy as well, because these journals strike a chord in the soul. The younger one is pleased that there are so many productivity tips mixed into the whole Life-As-Quest motif. The older one is intrigued at the idea of working through a specific, sticky, issue in his life and seeing where the process leads him. For myself, I would love some...

Good quality paper back mini journals. Cute illustrations. Love these. The only way they could be better is if they were Red, Green, and Grey instead of Red, Orange, and Yellow, so that they match the LOI journals. Other than that, these are perfect.

I love the artwork and quotes on the cards and that they match the size of the LOI deck so they can be combined. I also enjoy how there are specific sets that match chapters in the journal. However, the box for the IMA deck is very difficult to open. Also, some of the quests in the IMA deck are so specific that they do not apply to me; while I can interpret them differently, I think they would have been better if they weren't so specific. The thickness and material of both decks also make them d...

Great side product for the hero’s journal. I like the concept of having an additional well of quests to choose from. The best benefit is drawing a card to shake up your day. While doing side quests I find that I often think of other things I should be doing to achieve my goals. One of my daily frogs is to attend the gym, so on off days I draw a card to replace that frog. I find it helpful and exciting each time!

I really enjoy this journal! I’m 1.5 weeks into using it and jotting things down in it. Really, it’s more a day planner and a means to keep your goals small, focused, and to keep you moving in a positive way. There are small areas to write your thoughts, so it’s less journal and more a way to focus yourself. It’s fantastic to keep oneself on target. The Hero’s Journal: Magic Academy is also beautifully crafted. The Mystic Blue is a striking colour, and the “fit and finish” as it were, is amazi...

I use the heroes journal for both a planner and a journal and I fill it out every day. I do wish there was a weekly planner page at the end of the week, for the new week. Other than that, I love this journal.

The book arrived quickly after ordering, which is a big bonus. The digital form arrived in my email within minutes. I do wish they had the original hero's journal because I would like to get a version of that as well.

I absolutely love this journal and it has already changed my life in SO MANY WAYS in just 3 weeks!!! I just started act 2 and I have taken the most action on my goals in YEARS! I used to be such a procrastinator but with this journal its so easy to stay on track. Plus as a creative, I want to see where the story goes!!! I love seeing the drawings every day and how it's a new experience every week. I even feel like it is corresponding to my real life in some ways!

The journal is so cute and motivating! The one thing that I'd suggest is leaving the by-hour part untimed. That way, those of us who get up late for work or who take naps can still keep track of their daily achievements and goals without running out of daily space. Super minor critique though, and my work around is to scratch out the times and put new ones in.
