Praise for Start Where You Are

Would I recommend it? Yes. If, like me, your head is spinning with indecision, at the very least you might feel a bit lighter. And, who knows, if you're mind is freed up, perhaps you might actually find an answer after all

Marisa Bate, The Pool

With plenty of encouraging exercises, this interactive journal is ideal for those who want to manage (or discover) their long-term goals. It's filled with beautiful illustrations by Meera Lee Patel, a self-taught artist from New York, and aims to help the reader gain a better understanding of who they are
