  1. Sandy G. –

    I’ve never had so much fun and been more productive while creatively procrastinating! Just flipping through the pages encourages my motivation for the most boring tasks. Look out family, you are all getting one of these for Christmas!

  2. Carolyn Damp –

    I was hooked by page two. I don’t know if it was coincidence or genius, but the anti planner uses so many of the metaphors I already use to personify my anxieties. This is my comfort book that I turn to when I need a empathy or a kick in the pants.

  3. darla –

    I don’t actually have ADHD, but I have a hard time getting things done! There are so many fun ideas in this book. And, I’m realizing, sometimes it only takes one small thing to get me started. I absolutely recommend this book and anything by Dani.

  4. Alexandra –

    Really helpful

  5. Mark –

    If you have ever seen the photo of an orphaned boy post-WW2 with a new pair of shoes, you will understand exactly how I felt when this book arrived. [Google “6-year-old austrian hans werfel defines joy”.] Thank you Dani, this book is beyond awesome.
