Praise for YOU ARE AWESOME : 'Great book for young children about determination, resilience, self-confidence.' - Phil Neville, former England footballer and head coach of England Women 'I have lost track of the number of people recommending YOU ARE AWESOME by Matthew Syed. An accessible, practical approach to helping kids develop a growth mindset.' - The Bookseller 'An awesome book about becoming awesome. How inspiring it is to know that there's a path to awesomeness and that anyone - absolutely anyone - can go down that path. This book shows you how.' - Professor Carol Dweck, Professor of Psychology, Stanford University 'Grab yourselves a copy folks, this is wonderful and insightful.' - Author Giles Paley-Phillips 'I read YOU ARE AWESOME in one go, and then read it again! It answered so many questions I had about how to get better at some of the things I struggle with. It has stories of how others have been successful and makes you feel that you can do it too. After reading YOU ARE AWESOME I've changed how I approach difficult things. I've told all my friends to read it!' - Freddie, age 10 'I loved this book. YOU ARE AWESOME really builds your confidence and shows you how the right mindset can help you achieve your dreams. It shows that you have to be brave, prepare for failure and have self-belief. I will definitely be using some of the principles in this book to tackle some everyday challenges and other bigger ones too. A definite must read for anyone who wants to achieve more with their lives and build their confidence.' - Ella, age 13 Review: Arrived quickly. Excellent condition. Compliments the main booklet - We have these for both our teens. My eldest to nurture more of a growth mindset and for my eldest son (2nd child) we purchased his copy in the hopes that it would not only help him attain more of a growth mindset but would help empower him along his healing journey fostering the skills needed for later in life. He has ptsd due to extreme bullying, he was threatened with a knife by a gang of boys at his school, the school refused to intervene. Luckily we pulled him as those boys later stabbed and murdered a child in the year above. If the school, police and governors had of acted on our weekly, sometimes daily, complaints that young lad may still be alive. My son has a lot of unresolved guilt, pain, fear, anxiety and depression as a result of this trauma and mental health care for our teens takes far too long. Since we started growth mindset as a family, with various resources, we have watched them each grow, start to heal and move forward. We now home educate all four of our children (youngest only two but she is most certainly already on a home ed journey) and growth mindset has been an amazing benefit for us all as a family. We bought one copy of the book and individual copies of the journals to work through. My 8 year olds has been put away for now as its a bit too advanced for him, SEN, however we also do the big life journal and this book compliments that also. I recommend this for any teen as growth mindset provides coping mechanisms that are transferable to all avenues of life, they are easy to follow and my teens complete them independantly. Review: Awesome Journal - We bought this after reading the You Are Awesome book. This is a fantastic growth mindset book for younger people which is inspiring and helps focuses the mind. Its well laid out and is filled with inspiring quotes from famous people, and parts to fill in to get the mind focused and driven to achieve. Best of all the sense of humour in this is excellent and a growth mindset is fun not nerdy. This book is excellent for kids, teens and I can even see this could benefit adults!

Pretty good
Lovely idea for a book: I think it's great, but the recipient of the book doesn't think so. Perhaps too much time is spent dwelling on mistakes and problems?

This is a fun and useful fact/activity book.
If you are insecure or unconfident then this is a great book to help you overcome it. It talks about how you should stay in a growth mindset and why it is important. It also is a fun and a happy way to write down what you are feeling. You can write about what you have done and Matthew Syed has explained what he does wrong and encourages you to be open with your mistakes. Matthew Syed has written another book which I would recommend reading first called You are awesome. So give it a try!

Great tool to promote reflections and meaningful discussions
Bought it for our 7 years old boy. He really likes it. He has got the 'you are awesome' book already so very familiar with the language and words in this journal. The journal encourages him to read, write and reflect. It also helps with our conversations. A must buy for children who would benefit from doing some reflections and discussions that involve feelings, thoughts and goals. The only suggestion I would say is if your (grand)child is not keen on writing or reading on their own it might take some encouragement to start this 'writing journal' habit. Note-our boys is on brown level of the Oxford tree book band.

Perfect gift for tweens
I bought two of these journals at Christmas - one for my daughter (11) and one for my niece (10). Both girls love them. So much so my daughter asked if we could get her friend one for her birthday. My daughter had a wreck it journal the year before which she enjoyed and I had planned just to get another one however this caught my eye. I think mindfulness is a great thing especially for my daughter who is a very anxious person any way but who really has suffered with anxiety since starting high school. I believe this journal has helped her.

A great idea!
I've bought two of these for my sons aged 10 and 11 as Christmas presents. They both seem to be having some self confidence issues recently so I'm hoping this can give them some tools to help. I've had a good look through it and I'm so impressed with the activities. It's black and white inside rather than colour but the pages are still patterned and engaging. This looks like a great product at a reasonable price so I'd definitely recommend it.

You have to read the 'you are awesome' book first before being able to use this book.
You have to read the 'you are awesome' book first before being able to use this book. Only into the first few pages where it tells you to read the earlier release book before continuing. Wish I'd have known that beforehand. Just thought it was a confidence building journal.
