INSIDE THEN OUT Dig Deeper Journal - Guided Daily Journal with 180 Undated Prompts for Intention, Healing, Growth, Gratitude, Self Love & Discovery - Self Care Routine Gift for Women and Men

Impressed by the quality of presentation of this journal - the ivory leather style cover with gold foil is nice, it came inside a thick box which came in a subtly branded cloth bag. I bought this for myself on a whim but this would absolutely make a lovely gift for someone who enjoys guided journals or wants to get started with this sort of mindfulness practice! I tested some fountain pens and found the paper to be fountain pen friendly. Sheening and shading inks both display their desired qualities and are true to color on this bright white paper. I prefer to use medium and broad nibs (usually tuned wet as I use a lot of shimmer inks) and the only sign of bleed-through was Wearingeul's Dracula ink in my Benu medium nib pen. Some slight ghosting was visible with other inks however the paper is a decent thickness. Very slight feathering on a couple of Diamine inks (Winter Miracle & Golden Ivy) coming from TWSBI Stub and B nibs respectively however this is very minor to the point of being negligible. I will likely be sticking to medium nibs and the inks that had no visible issues with this paper, but most fountain pen users (especially those preferring finer nibs, standard inks, or just drier writers in general) shouldn't find this journal problematic at all. I'm seriously impressed with this journal, and I haven't even commented on the content yet! I've had a flick through and I like the minimal approach. Being undated allows you to skip questions that you don't feel like addressing at a particular moment with ease (and I appreciate the attached ribbon bookmark to help with this as I'll leave it in a spot I've skipped so I can go back). I like that there isn't a lot of fluff and woo, and each page is just a single question. I've tried guided journals in the past that feel more like filling out paperwork because they are too restrictive in writing space with number of things you have to answer or list in a single exercise. This looks more like what I consider real personal exploratory journaling just with a built in prompt to get you started. So at first inspection it looks like the creator of this journal, Nya Jones, has managed to really hit the nail on the head with this one. Hopefully future editions will be available in different cover colors - I'd love a soft cocoa black, for example - but as it stands this is a good buy and I'm looking forward to filling this up.

BEAUTIFUL! This journal is 100% worth the buy. It comes in a nice, hardcover box on top of being wrapped in it's own canvas bag. This journal has thoughtful, interesting prompts that really allow you to open up on paper in a way that traditional journaling does not. It's the perfect size for everyday use; fits easily in a laptop bag, small purse, or in its own bag. The lines are big enough to give you space for thoughtful responses and the pages are just long enough to make this a quick, easy activity that won't overwhelm your brain. I would feel very good about gifting this journal to a family member or close friend and I think it could even be used as a tool for better communication in relationships.

I am really enjoying this book. The prompts are fun and thoughtful. They're not over complicated so I find that it is really easy to commit to completing this. On average I can do about four pages a week before life consumes me. And oh, there are also these sections in between so it's not just all prompts and writing. There are some reading sections in between, like on gratitude and just different topics. So yeah, a great book. I definitely recommend it as a supplement to your standard gratitude journal

Got this journal for my mother for her birthday. She absolutely loves it. It’s smaller than I thought but I also think that’s a good thing. Easy to take every where. She travels a lot so it’s helpful. She loves this journal. Helps her. Quality good for the price too.

I bought two, one to gift and one to keep for my self. My recipient is very happy with it. I on the other hand, should have read more of the prompts. I know its very pompous of me but they're not very deep and surface level. My friend thought it was really good for him so I'm not regretting getting it for them, but I personally wasn't at all challenged by the questions. Some kinda do, "Who do you not want to be anymore?" Simple but at least it makes you go a little past the surface. Some, most actually, are just "what makes you happy?" "what can you change to make more time?" I don't need a journal that costs 30+ dollars for it. The quality of the journal is why I gave it the rating. It comes nicely packaged and protected. The hard cover feels like leather and over all it looks very nice. Knowing the nature of the prompts now, I would have only gotten the one. I wouldn't pay more than 15-20 dollars as is.

This is a wonderful and thought-provoking journal. Take time answering the questions and some gems will emerge.

I got this for my sister and it’s awesome, it prompts for deep thought with questions that help navigate deeper introspection. I loved it so much I got myself one!

Bought as a gift. Looked like good quality book.
