It’s BIG! I have both taped to separate foam core boards that rest on an open drawer on my bureau in front of my desk by day and is hidden away behind bureau by night. I love the shiny surface as it’s perfect for using and reusing tape, colour-coded post-its + dry-erase markers on. I also love that I could begin in December rather than having to wait for January because it’s blank and reusable.
I love the Weekly Action Pad! I added it to the Best Self Journal and it has helped me stay on track, not miss a follow up and schedule my priorities. Thank you for these wonderful tools!
The shipping got delayed so they almost didn't come in time for what I wanted them for, but they are very nice, good for developing relationships. I'm looking forward to trying it out in more situations and with more people. :)
I bought this for my husband and me to use at dinner on our 11th anniversary, and it made such a difference in our conversation. I actually learned things I didn't know about him! To be honest, we've been coming off a hard year in our marriage, and I dunno... something shifted between us after using this deck to spark our connection... I highly recommend for couples who only talk about the kids and domestic issues!
I randomly spread cards on the Thanksgiving tables to help guests get to know one another and stay away from current or divisive events. They worked great!
My boyfriend and I really enjoy this deck! It has led to so many deep and meaningful conversations between us and really helped make our communication in our relationship stronger.
My husband and I have only done about 5 cards over the past couple of weeks but it has really helped us to learn more about each other and have deeper conversations in a comfortable and fun way!
I decided to give the planner a try, after having the journal for the past two years. All I can say is wow, after using it for just a few weeks, I have no idea how I’ve survived without it. If you are someone that struggles with staying organized and on time, this will change your life, I promise. It’s simply amazing!! Love it, Love it! Will always keep one with me whenever I go. Just perfect the way it is!
My boyfriend and I loved doing this. We got through all of them in 2 nights and we got closer than ever. Surprisingly lots of the questions were ones we hadn’t thought of and it definitely helped us get to know more about each other.
A notebook I actually used all the way to the end. Seriously.
This is an unassuming but very useful notebook. I had no intention of it being my go-to notebook at work over my fancy German and Italian notebooks, but so it did. Dotted corners to keep track of what page I was on, bendy enough to bear my shoving it in backpacks and purses countless times, and with solid bleedproof pages. Somehow the elastic binding even survived my cat gnawing on it (he likes the mouthfeel of journal elastics - go figure). Also because the notebook wasn’t black like every other thing I own (including cat), I was able to locate it quickly. Highly recommend!!
I'll be honest upfront. I was only a fan of about half of the cards. Normally, this would leave me dissatisfied, but I got something greater than a game. The concept is a great way to solidify bonds and reinforce the idea that a support structure and team mentality need to be in place. Now, I can custom tailor my own decks for specific groups of friends, and even use this as a teambuilding exercise at work; passing out customized decks to fit the challenges of our various groups and divisions. The message to drive home is that being flawed or even the weakest link isn't a matter to be discouraged about. It is a learning experience and a chance to grow. I've been looking into getting monogrammed products from BestSelf for our company anyway. Maybe the 'winner' from each group or division will win products from this store suited to their betterment. Thank you for the inspiration.
This beautiful deck of cards is life changing. Not only does it push you to step out of your comfort zone, it gets you thinking/reflecting on so many other aspects of your day to day actions. Highly recommend Courage over Comfort. Buy them for yourself and those you love.
It immediately got me and my SO to talk about many different topics and we have to say that it made us even closer. You really can't go wrong with the Intimacy deck! We love it!
great for the nonsocial ppl like me. gets the conversation going. and alot of em are open ended questions and not yes or no. most of em anyways. then those split into their own series of questions.
Bought this for get togethers. Gave it try with my kids and a friend and her teen. Great way to get a glimpse into who my kids are growing up to be. My oldest loved it and all enjoyed the quality time. I'll probably be ordering the kid specific deck soon too!
It had questions i never thought to ask my boyfriend of 2 years. I learned more about him and how he felt about us. We had wine and did this and it was a lot of fun.
Going to buy for all my family and friends, have had so many wonderful experiences because of this desk.. I hope they will make a new one top with new ideas! Also wish there were 365 instead of 150 so I could do one everyday of the year
Some of the cards are more intense than others, but they are all pretty great prompts to get you thinking about development within yourself and how you grow with others.
I’ve used this deck with friends, colleagues and acquaintances and they’ve all absolutely loved it. We’ve had so much fun that at times we don’t wanna stop playing. I recently played with a best friend and we stayed for like an hour answering them. Highly recommend this for any or almost any environment. It’s changed my life and helped me meet lots of new people. 5/5!
I absolutely love this journal. The designers have truly thought of everything! It's the perfect mix of productivity planning and gratitude practice. I don't go anywhere without it.
My man and I used the intimacy deck on our anniversary and it definitely sparked some interesting conversations that we wouldn’t normally have. Thank you best self!
I have been using self journal for over a year. I swear by how well self journal keeps me focused and moving forward on a daily, weekly and longer- term basis. I love how it helps me keep my attention on specific tasks and helps be from being distracted by the multitude of items I deal with day in and day out.
