Lonely Planet Explore Every Day: 365 daily prompts to refresh your life

I don’t know as bought as a gift, sorry.

Was bought this as a present and liked it so much bought friends a copy so we can meet some of adventures challenges together. Great as a new year , new start or retirement present .

Book turned up covered in scratches on the front. Clearly a used item and not a new item. Have returned but no time to buy a new gift now

It is creative and entertaining. Very recommended to boost joy and creativity.

I bought this book both for myself and as a gift. For myself, I wanted to have some creativity-inducing prompts in my hand for those times when I felt like things had become a bit too rote and I needed to shake something up in my brain (hello, dementia prevention). Also, to have fun things to do, alone or with others, that didn't require a big budget. Also, to have some help to be sillier sometimes. I gave this book as a gift because it's purse-size for carrying around, good for all ages, and has beautiful illustrations. I don't want to give away any prompts, but let me just say that some of them make you kind of go, "what? Hmmm." But then you think about it a bit, or try it, and realize that the author has included it for a reason. And then prompts that you didn't think would be hilariously fun turn out to be exactly that. It's magic.

As a travel writer, I know the thrill of seeing a new place and how creatively energized it makes me—and how quickly familiar places can lose their sparkle. So does the author of this book, Alex Leviton. That's why the prompts are so fun and engaging, beacause she knows how to see the familiar in a new way. I really appreciate how many of these prompts are useful for different types of explorers. If you love taking photos, these prompts will help you get new shots. If you love food, you'll find new restaurants you'll adore. If you're an artist, there are lots of drawing prompts, and if you're a learner, there are prompts to get the most out of the educational opportunities around you. It's such a fun book, and there is space to jot down your experiences as for later, too.

Currently working my way through this book, and I am loving it. This book gets me out of my routine, and has me exploring life in ways I had not considered before. There are things in this book I could take only a few minutes to accomplish without leaving my house, and other activities that would make great outings either alone or with friends. Like go to a restaurant where the cuisine is something you have never tried! What a great activity to do with a friend or date! This book has me exploring my city and myself in ways I would have not come up with myself. TOTALLY RECOMMEND! This book would make a great gift for so many people.

You know the buzz you get from travel, the high that comes from experiencing new sights, sounds, smells and tastes? This super-cool book stokes that same feeling through a series of prompts you can do in your own town or city. Like buy a new spice and cook with it, learn a new word from your region’s indigenous culture, visit the oldest cemetery near you. It’s a great, quick and easy creativity booster. Who knew not-travel traveling could be so inspiring?
