Gudetama: Mindfulness for the Lazy

Briar's Reviews

Are you looking for a fun and short comic series about being lazy and how to be mindful? Well, Gudetama: Mindfulness for the Lazy is a unique and comedic take all on mindfulness.

I enjoyed this short read. It's comical, made me smile and can be quite beneficial in mindfulness education. The illustrations are also fabulous and colourful, which draws a lot of attention and makes the story more interesting.

Reminder: random acts of kindness (especially small ones) can really make someone's day!

Three out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Oni Press for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

This is a super cute and very informative graphic novel about mindfulness. It's broken up into short comics featuring different scenarios that we can learn from. It's a great tool for today's stressful climate, whether that be political/personal/etc. The style is cutesy and silly and each story has a little humor but in the end really hits home the message of practicing mindfulness throughout your day.

I was particular fond of Swathi's impact on her neighbor Martin! It shows how continual positivity and mindfulness can transfer onto others.

I'd recommend this to any and all ages!

I honestly love anything Sanrio so when I saw this graphic novel of Gudetama I knew I had to pick it up. The story itself is all about how be more mindful in your everyday life. I think it is really interesting to teach such a complex topic using a character like Gudetama,. It makes the concept approachable for all ages. This was exactly what I needed because I'm the kind of person that's always worried about the past and the future. I forget to exist in the now. I think this would be a cute gift to give a child because the content in the book is really approachable because you are experiencing it with Gudetama. Overall, I really enjoyed it! Check it out when it comes out because it's definitely worth it.

This comic was entertaining and actually helpful, I was expecting something simple for kids but I was pleasantly surprised with how much I cant take from it. The comic is well written and the drawing is good with some helpful tips on different environments that adults have to survive in and how we should deal with them without hurting others or ourselves. 
This is was fast to read because was a fun comic and is really short so I would recommend to buy it to read when you need that dose of "I can do better."
