So many of the qualities mentioned in this book I had never attributed to introversion. I learned a lot in this way, and specifically related, so I loved much of this book. Helpful and meaningful metaphors for the qualities, too.

Not a daily journal per se.

(Full disclosure: I received an e-ARC for review through Edelweiss.)

I picked The Year of the Introvert up expecting to find a guided journal, but what I got is a little different. While there are some journal prompts here, they typically come at the end of a week or so of inspirational passages. In addition to these "Reflection Questions," each month features a "Monthly Gratitude Moment" and themed "Celebration." The result is an eclectic mashup of diary, self-help, and inspo calendar. Which is awesome if that's what you're looking for, but I wanted something with a little less text and a little more white space to explore my own thoughts and feelings.

One of the things that really rubbed me the wrong way is the author's propensity to talk about herself. A LOT. Like, I thought a journal was supposed to be about me, and not someone else, right? Looking at her body of work, I guess I shouldn't be surprised; Chung has made a career out of her introversion - which is great! - but one thing self-help gurus like to do is pontificate about themselves and how awesome they're doing, so.

Some of her advice is kind of eye-rollingly obnoxious, too. If I had extra cash on hand, I wouldn't go hiding it in places I might never find it again. Putting a five in my coat pocket is a good way to turn it into wet scrap paper, okay. I need it in my checking account anyhow because BILLS. (Yes, I am rolling my eyes as I write this.)
