The reviews generally seem positive and I got the sample for my Kindle, but that's just an intro. I've put it on my library hold list but there are 56 people ahead of me ;) I'm not committed yet to spring the $13.99 for the Kindle copy (or more for the paper version), so I'm wondering if anyone here has any feedback.
I was wondering how on earth Ryder Carroll would find things to fill so many pages with, but the more "philosophical" back half was actually interesting. Reminded me of Leo Baubata's 'Zen Habits' and other 21st-century stoic-bros. The AM and PM reflections struck me as a particularly good accompaniment to the notebook-as-thing.
I still can't get behind the fact that he only migrates tasks monthly and looks at each day every morning and night. Bujos don't deal with scheduled tasks well enough w/ his prescribed method, IMO.
Good boo: would recommend getting in from the library or buying the ebook, though. It's not earth shattering.
Thank you for the review! I read comments that the Kindle version has serious layout issues. Did you read it in this format? I've been in a long queue waiting for the ebook version from the library.... XD
I read an epub, so I can't speak to the kindle quality. Epub didn't have any glaring issues, though. (I was on desktop, though, so resizing was less arduous)
If epub is a format you could make use of, I'd be happy to "loan" it to you, as it were ;)
I finished it in May, and I've been bullet journaling since September 2018. It's pretty good. It explains a lot of stuff I hadn't given much thought to.
I bought the paper version because I figured a guide to a paper medium would be best read on paper, but it's not necessary. I've found it on the Libby app (for US library patrons to access ebooks and audiobooks), but I wouldn't recommend the audio version, there are too many visuals in the book.
It's not really necessary to read it, though, because the author's website explains all of it for free, and there are plenty of blogs out there putting their own spin on things.
