Find Your Mantra is a cute little book with helpful mantra's and their benefits, but I felt it was a tad too short. There were no "new" mantras or insights for me, which I believe makes it more of a beginners guide in my eyes. Short, to-the-point and beautifully illustrated.

Find Your Mantra has 75 messages that are designed to be uplifting while focusing on peace, love, happiness, strength, and journey. For each mantra the reader is given a way it can be incorporated into everyday life as well as the benefits that can be expected. With the reduction of stress, the addition of meditation, and positive assertions, the reader will feel more focused and relaxed as a result.

This book is well-organized and easy to use. I recommend it.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a copy of this book for review.

I enjoyed the context of this title, but the format on my e-reader app wasn't pleasing. I think it will be wonderful in print and would certainly make a great personal mindfulness book as well as a great gift.

This book will help you if you are beginning with mantras. Each mantra is followed by a brief explanation and a passage on what to expect.
I liked how mantras are divided into categories. You can search a specific one, get a "random" one, or just work on them in order. Whaterver you choose, I think you'll find it useful.

Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for my ARC.

Aysel Gunar, the creator of Mantra Bands has created this book to helping readers find their own personal mantra in this guide to "Inspire and Empower Your Life with 75 Positive Affirmations."

I will start out by saying that I'm a huge believer in the power of positive thought and have been using affirmations in my life for years.

Gunar's approach in this book is very simplistic, and I can appreciate the beauty and power in that. I do think that some of the mantas in the book were a little cliche and more basic than I'd like, but I did like how she went into depth about each one, giving it a deeper meaning and providing steps to put the mantra into action. She also lists benefits that focusing on each mantra will bring into your life.

This is something that could be very helpful for those wanting to get started with mantras and/or affirmations and highly recommend it for beginners. I think that with everything included in the book there is something anyone could find value in and use for the better in their life.

Overall, I will say that with such a gorgeous photo I was expecting more similar artwork within the book. Not all of the mantras have accompanying illustrations, which I would have liked to see. I also would have appreciated more of the art to be cohesive with the style of the cover.

Still, this gets four stars from me and I'd I think it's great for people wanting to discover their own personal mantra or find one applicable to a specific situation. Thanks to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group for the ARC!

I strongly believe in the use of mantras. I think they can help you live a more peaceful, joyful and content life. There is power in our words. This was a lovely collection of mantras. I liked how you received a mantra along with an action and a benefit to that mantra. It really made the words more powerful. Dream Bigger is my personal fave. I also love mantra bands. The one I have says Breathe. A great reminder.

Lovely designed book cashing in on the Mantra trend (it is written by a lady who makes well-known mantra bracelets). Each word set is given the reasoning behind it and a philosophical activity. Wasn't very helpful for me but would be awesome for those who mantras are their thing.

Not a long book, which is nice because it is not dragged out. Nice if you need to have some mantras to rotate and things to do with them. Straight to the point and one right after the other. Really nice if wanting a jump-off point.

Find Your Mantra by Aysel Gunar is a wonderful little book dulled with lots of little mantras and their possible meanings. Great for improving yourself.

This book is full of great reminders of how to live in the present, be mindful, grateful and remember to love yourself and others. A small gem to keep handy for when you may need a pick me up. The mantras are followed by action steps to take such as journaling, affirmations and to smile more and then followed by the benefits of the mantras including peace, love, kindness and believing in your self. Thank you to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Rock Point for an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

I received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley and Rock Point in exchange for an unbiased review.

The author founded MantraBand in 2012 as a means to “Live in the Moment”. These are some popular affirmations from the growing brand of MantraBand bracelets. The author explains the origins of the origins of “mantra” and the modern use for increasing positivity in your life. The thoughts and expressions provide insight and reflection for the reader to discern what might be appropriate for him/her.

This is a handy book which contains many positive affirmations which may be used as a part of one’s spiritual journey. It is an alternative or adjunct to the author’s original creation of a simple and durable bracelet with mantra inscribed.

Whether a bracelet or this book, I find it helpful to have constant reminders of how to maintain positivity. Although it’s always a challenge, I invite any “tools” which I can add to my spiritual toolbox!

3.5

The illustrations and font were light and sweet, not overbearing.

This covers different mantra focuses such as love, peace and gratitude, etc.

Overall, a nice book to flick through when you need a pick me up boost to focus on, but it didn’t really say anything new and used a few cliche phrases.

At the beginning, this felt like an ad for the author's product. Otherwise it's a great collection of simple, easy to remember mantras. Each mantra is followed by a brief explanation, an action for embodying the mantra, and a benefit it will bring into your life. The writing is simple, easy to understand, and positive, plus it's really pretty! This book would be a great gift or a tool to have on hand when you need a reminder that things will get better.

Sadly this book downloaded as a file type I was unable to open. I read digital books on my Kindle. This title didn't give a Kindle option for some reason. I'd like to read it if it becomes available on Kindle.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this book!! I cannot express how much! It came into my life at exactly the right moment. The mantra of "be more present and worry less" is something everyone can use! The way this book is broken down by sections of "Peace, love, happiness, strength and journey" was perfect! The whole format with an a mantra, mantra action and mantra benefit was a great idea! I also love the illustrations and pictures. I cannot wait to buy this for everyone I know. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this amazing book.

Love is the answer und das Leben ist wundervoll - so das Fazit dieses Buches. Mit den vorliegenden Mantras und den kurzen Texten, ist es ein leichtes, diesem Pfad zu folgen und sich dabei etwas gutes zu tun.
Sehr schön, aber schlicht gestaltetes Buch.

This book is a beauty reminder to be kind to yourself. It’s full of statements and mantras for any situation to encourage your mindset to support and nourish you. I thought it was a beautiful little book and would make a lovely gift.

Mantras are popular these days; they are phrases that are repeated to move individual's to a "higher" and more self-aware state. In addition, these phrases encourage one to be mindful and present.

The author of this book has collected mantras that relate to different categories; these include Peace, Love, Happiness, Strength and Journey. There are gentle and attractive illustrations throughout each of these sections.

Some of these mantras are tried and true and will be familiar, while others may be less so. For each, the author includes a Mantra Action and a Mantra Benefit. One example:

"Live More. Worry Less." The author suggests an action which includes a meditation for calming fretting. She also lists a benefit, in this instance, seeing your shoulders be less hunched and the reader feeling better over time.

Many may well enjoy spending a moment each day to center and reflect. This book can help to do just that.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this read in exchange for an honest review.

I was really hoping for something with more depth than Instagram quotes. I didn't find anything in here that really inspired me or make me think. I am training for a marathon and meditate often but this book was pretty uninteresting. This would be food if marketed as a little gift book for graduation or moms, perhaps.

“By changing the way you think, you’ll change the way you feel.”

I’ve been on a personal journey recently to find myself, my best self, and reading affirmations and words of positivity have been so helpful. Having these reminders in front of me makes it easier to move forward and grow, to stop myself when negativity creeps in and get me back on track.
