This is a pretty nice little distraction to have to go through. After a long day of work, some mind numbing gags that can give good advice can go a long way. Between a lazy mascot character who needs optimism in his life and his friend who is ever optimistic, a little give and take can go a long way.

Omg this book was so adorable!!! It definitely has some reread potential and Gudetama being in this self help book will make it more readable for teens and children! All fans overall will 'really enjoy this. The writing is very digestible and I highly recommend it!

This is an adorable albeit short graphic novel of Gudetama learning how to be mindful. Mindfulness comes in a variety of colors, and I think Gudetama does a pretty good job of giving a nice variety of possibilities. Each short comic covers something a little different with the overarching topic discussed throughout. I loved it.

I received a copy of this book from Oni Press and Netgalley.

While this book is short it packs a lot of (metaphorical) punch.

Our eggy buddy Gudetama leads us on a journey to mindfulness and it's explained in a charming,wonderful way.

Thank you to Netgalley and Oni Press for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a cute comic book featuring my favorite lazy egg, Gudetama! I think this book would be great for younger readers, and has good reminders about practicing mindfulness with lots of teachable moments. The illustrations are wonderful and bright and fun to flip through.
Overall, this was a very fun read!

This was the perfect read for a cozy night in! The artwork was stunning as always, and it was refreshing to see Gudetama and Nisetama's interactions again! My goal is definitely to read & collect every graphic novel from this series at some point — because I just NEED these adorable self-help books in my life.

Apart from the beautiful artwork, I must also say that I find their advice to actually be pretty helpful too! Even if they are things that we might have already heard before or are familiar with, I still think it's still important to receive little reminders from time to time, and this comic does exactly that! Remember to check in with your emotions, be empathetic to others, stay mindful of what you say... and so much more!

I'm looking forward to reading my next Gudetama graphic novel!

Thank you so much to Netgalley and Oni Press for providing the eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

In light of everything that's been going on in the past year it might seem impossible to be mindful of others, no worries Gudetama is here to help! In each section Gudetama is here to help even when all he want to do is nap. If you forget everything else from this awesome book don't forget to not be a butt

The last place I expected to find solace in "mindfulness" would be a Gudetama book, yet here we are!
Gudetama: Mindfulness for the Lazy is an adorable, relatable book that is a lot more deeper than what it puts off. The picture book covers topics such as personal space, sympathy & empathy, awareness & more. By the end of it, you feel like you just read NY Times Best Seller self-help book. Yet you recall the vivid colors, pictures and infographs from this book and you can't help but smile and be reminded of what makes a person a good one. You leave the book feeling inspired and uplifted.

This is an AMAZING read for anyone who's living in these crazy times. It is a cutesy reminder to be "mindful" (:

I've come away from this book understanding what mindfulness actually is. I've heard the word thrown around often before, but it's never really been explained. I'd generally never read a self-help book or the typical books that are on mindfulness, but this really makes things accessible.

It uses a lot of humorous situations and dialogue throughout to keep things light and interesting. I like that things don't always work out perfectly too. You see people make mistakes. Sometimes they learn from them and sometimes they don't. Either way, it throws plenty of examples at you in an engaging way.

I think this would be suitable for younger teens and above. I think the colorful nature and style of art would also appeal to younger children, but perhaps some of the language used and concepts would go over their heads. Still it'd be a worthwhile read for most, as most situations are fairly straightforward. It could work as a good introduction to thinking about others and taking responsibility for actions for younger children, even if some parts mentioned may be a bit difficult.

Gudetama: Mindfulness for the Lazy is an incredibly cute and highly relatable foray into the world of mindfulness - especially because it is grounded in the understanding that mindfulness doesn't have to be a huge energy expense or something that requires additional studying. Gudetama guides readers through understanding that even those who may be lazy, or low energy, or any state of mind, can begin practicing mindfulness and reap the benefits. Can't wait to order a hard copy for myself as well as friends who would appreciate as well!

Thank you to the publisher for giving me a copy in exchange for an honest review.

GUDETAMA IS BACKKK! I love Gudetama I think the whole egg concept is so freaking hilarious and enjoyable, I literally watched all the anime episodes on this little bug, so I just simply had to read the comic about him.
The comic was so so fun! It didn't only follow Gudetama but also the people around him and the situations Gudetama found himself in. I absolutely love the art style, especially Gudetama himself just keeps getting more and more adorable the longer you look at him.
The overal story of this comic is very good and keeps its pace throughout the whole comic, there is never a dull moment that I can think of and there is always something to be excited about.

Definitely recommend

Cute and funny. A little simplistic, but makes a complex topic a little more simplistic by breaking it down. I wish Gudetama was more a voice and less of a sidekick,

Gudetama, the lazy egg, is back, this time reluctantly learning about mindfulness, sympathy and empathy, dealing with anxiety, and getting better organized. Just like the previous Gudetama graphic novel I read, where Gudetama was passing advice about surviving holidays with family, "Gudetama: Mindfulness for the Lazy", by Wook-Jin Clark is comprised of short vignettes in which struggling characters receive advice from Gudetama and his friend Nisetama about being more aware and living in the present.

The illustrations are cute and vibrant, and match the tone of the graphic novel. Overall it was a quick, uplifting read. I would recommend this for adults and younger audiences alike, since we all need to sprinkle some positivity in our lives. Thank you to NetGalley and Oni Press for providing me with an e-arc in exchange for my honest review.

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."

Gudetama encounters and observes many situations and learns about mindfulness and the benefits of being kind, friendly, and open rather than ignoring others around you. Focusing on self-care and the proper ways to do that are included--reminders not to do things while working (on breaks instead) to help your mental mindset. The drawings really help to convey the differences in those who are and aren't mindful which would not be able to be communicated as effectively in a purely text=based book.

Like Gudetama, I also wish I could be paid to stare at clouds all day.

Gudetama: Mindfulness for the Lazy is an adorable graphic novel filled with advice and playful art. This was a really enjoyable read from start to finish. I loved all the topics and scenes in this book. There's solid advice mixed in with some truly funny moments. I particularly liked in inclusion of mindfulness on social media. Growing up we're told not to be selfish and take other people's feelings into consideration during arguments but never told the correct way to deal with online discourse. Having a bright, simple and effective comic with advice on this could really change how a person interacts with social media after reading a few simple pages.

"Don't be a butt!"

(I loved it so much I'm going to purchase a copy to gift to my best friend on her birthday!)

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

This was really my first experience with Gudetama and I enjoyed it a lot. This is a easy way to learn a bit about mindfulness while seeing cute characters and fun stories. There are a handful of panels from here that I could see as perfect reaction images to send to friends. I also loved the ending - very cute, very fitting.

Mindfulness is not a perfect artform, but rather something human beings have to work on regularly. Gudetama, our favorite egg, begins its training on how to be more selfless, fear less, and exploring how to be better to the people around you.  Creator Wook-Jin Clark explores some pretty in-depth concepts in regards to meditation and how to take the proper breaks to keep your mind in a good place. As always, the art is cute, and our eggy hero is sarcastic. 

Gudetama: Mindfulness for the Lazy is available April 4. 2021.

This is a profound and beautiful book, filled with laughs only Gudetama could bring!

I've always felt a deep connection with Gudetama, the talking egg who loves to nap and be lazy. I'm so glad I got to learn more about him, and about mindfulness! The little episodes are entertaining and hilarious, with lessons that are important.

Gudetama and his friend Nisetama teach us about mindfulness acts, empathy, sharing, respecting boundaries, and much more! He makes each concept easy to understand, and gives us actions to do each day to carry mindfulness with us. Even issues like online bullying and dealing with a relative that makes statements you don't agree with are dealt with. And most important, Gudetama reminds us that napping is self-care!!!!

Read this book to laugh, learn, and feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Thank you Netgalley and Onipress for this ebook arc in exchange for an honest review.

What better way to get introduced to mindfulness than having the concept explained by some lazy egg and a guy in a full-body suit!
In this very colourful and entertaining graphic novel Gudetama and Nisetama share some key values about being a better person by being mindful about everyone around you. Most of the concepts weren’t new to me, nonetheless I loved the illustrations! The short episodes don’t really go in depth but they work perfectly for the book's purpose. I would recommend this to everyone who enjoys a short comic and isn’t yet familiar with the concept of mindfulness but looking for a place to start.
