Piccadilly Shadow Growth Journal

AI crap. Shame on the publisher

I have bought this three times now. The first time was for myself and it was life changing. I bought another for a friend in Georgia and another one for my sister. This is the best journal you will ever buy and will force you to face your dark side.

I wanted to like this journal, but it quickly became apparent that the content was AI-generated. I purchased one for myself and two as gifts, and will be returning the remaining two journals.

I really like this journal. it is in depth with relevant questions that delve into the inner self.

I love this journal so much already. It allows you to dive deep and work on your soul.

Easy to understand and get through, so far so good.

Really enjoy the book currently in my self healing era and the quotes really stimulate your mind I have it with me everywhere I go that way any small time I have free it is my use with the intention of being a kind human no matter what life experiences have gone through your lifespan. You got this ! This book is a self reflection of who you are without dimming your light

This book has no author and is entirely written by AI, the illustrations are all AI, the prompts are repetitive and read exactly how AI writes things. There are actual resources and shadow work journals out there made by real people, this is not one of them and is not worth your money.

I really like this journal. I am about a third into it and it’s been quite helpful for me to explore my shadows. Perhaps even areas I thought were healed. The informational aspect on the works of Carl Jung is enlightening. I like the graphics design in the exercises and the wide variety of tools to explore our shadows. It’s better than the one I bought for my granddaughter, frankly just the month before . Gave one to eldest daughter for her and bought one for myself. I think it might be a great gift if the person you gift it understands we all have shadows as well as light. I l like the size, it’s not bulky to slip into my bag, high quality durable psper.

Quickly becomes apparent it is AI slop. Many many instances of prompts asking you the same thing worded slightly differently. I wanted to power through it but it's just so bad and it feels insulting that someone thought this was okay to make. Waste of time, waste of paper and ink. The concept is useful just maybe look for something with an actual human author and resources to cite.

Piccadilly shadow journal is very well put together! Everything from the page thickness/quality, to the fonts & illustrations, but especially the detail and variety, blew me away. I have purchased other journals for a similar price (usually at $5 or $6) and they were so boring and surface level that i never got past 1 page. Typically they are just endless open-ended prompts that made me feel like im back in school but not this one! This is not like those boring, cheaply Canva made journals. This journal has it all, from research & quotes, to a variety of illustrations, with different layouts and exercises. Yes there are some writing prompts but not as many as you typically see. They could change a few more writing prompts into something more fun but for the price, Im happy.

The concept of this journal is great at first glance. Upon closer inspection, it's the AI version: outputting its plagiarism from input of real people's work. Whoever published this book must not have proof-read it—there are multiple grammar mistakes within the first 10 pages. It's a masterpiece of faked authenticity. The AI content is the antithesis to its "self work" concept. The aesthetic is a mood board, low quality AI images serving as examples of what would have looked good. It lacks the quality and substance I would expect from such a meaningful topic. The journal contains content inspired by Carl Jung's philosophies. As it is written by AI, it could all be made up facts. There are no credits to check where these ideas and advice come from. There is no author or illustrator for the "Shadow Growth Journal" content. Just AI generated text and illustrations, a frankensteined version of its shadow journal genre predecessors. It's giving consumers a roulette of staged quality and introspection. I think this journal had a good direction but totally missed the mark.

Super in depth for the people who already have done some/or a lot of self realization. Gorgeous and really special. I can’t believe the price, honestly.
