Listened to the audiobook and it was very uplifting.
Mallory has a lot of great thoughts on how to live a full life and not just go through the motions.
I love the analogy about waking up with a good morning Lord!, or a good Lord, it’s morning attitude, and the difference that each of these attitudes can have on how your day is going to go.
Another thing I enjoyed was her talk on how if you feel like you are constantly rind down stepping back to take a look ant everything you are say yes to. She used the analogy of learning how to not hand out your yes’s like Halloween Candy.

Striving to live a full life means that you’re not just working toward the next reaching-the-mountaintop experience, but you’re working to make every day meaningful, fulfilling, and life-giving.

Don’t be afraid of a little blank space on your vision board because chances are, you’ll be thankful for a bit of blank space in your life too.

“If you don’t decide your job, the world will decide for you.”

The question you have to ask yourself when you’re putting on the outfit, or planning the beach vacation, or going to a trendy hot spot – are you planning the pictures or planning your life?

The worthiness and beauty in your dreams and desires aren’t measured by how many people share them.

“Wallowing in negativity and indecisiveness have no place in living fully.”

You create the right ton for the day!

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and learn from All In. This was a pretty and positive guide/journal.
Since this was a digital version I was not able to get the full experience of the journal but there are writing prompts and sections to write reflections. The main focuses of the book are for planning a vision board, identifying core values, and manifesting goals.

[Megan Benger · Rating 1 out of 5]

If you’re going to have such a short book, I feel like it needs to be packed with wisdom and creative ideas. This fell very short of that as it felt like a list of the most obvious and redundant pieces of advice. I also struggled with her advice about creating vision boards and manifesting your goals to life. She said that if you want a baby, put a photo of you and your spouse with a baby and will it to life. Using an example like this feels so insensitive to the endless, complex reasons why fertility can be so hard for some families and it seemed to inappropriately simplify and negate those truths. Not worth your time to read.

Spoiler Alert- the entire book is about vision board. Boring.

I don’t follow many lifestyle influencers but I really liked Mallory Ervin after finding her through one of my favorite gymnasts, Shawn Johnson. I enjoyed her podcast and first book both named Living Fully and her general message was always a positive one I felt inspired by. So when I saw she had a new book coming out I was surprised yet intrigued.

It felt like I just recently read her memoir/self-help book and was curious how she already knocked out another one and what it would be about. After finishing it I think the best way to describe it would be a self-help guided journal. And the best way to sum it up is short and sweet! You could easily flip through this whole thing in a day if not an hour but the point is to take your time to reflect and journal in the spaces provided (if you have a hard copy version).

Honestly I wish this was the format of Joanna Gaines’ latest book, The Stories We Tell. I felt like that would have been better off as a guided journal with a lot of the introspective rambling cut out. So I appreciated that Ervin really cuts to the chase in her book and offers you a main theme with a few paragraphs and leaves it at that, but it did feel still a tad too short. For me it moved too quickly through the concepts and that made it difficult to absorb the information. However, since it is so short it could be something I read through once a year to realign myself, because I did like a lot of the content.

Mostly what I took away was that I want to create a vision board. I’ve heard this concept talked about before but I’ve never acted on it, and it seems kind of silly but when Ervin suggested making a digital version I found it that much more doable. Much of the book is centered around making a vision board and I felt really inspired to actually make one this time. I also loved her chapter on “fine” being the new rock bottom. She discussed this in her first book, but I’m glad it was reinforced here.

As always, Ervin’s positive personality and inspiring story to pursue living fully left me feeling motivated to follow suit. While it felt a tad bare, I also appreciated the quick hit self-help approach that was not bogged down with repetition or ramblings. I definitely see myself coming back to this to book in the future.

Thank you to NetGalley and Convergent Books for an ARC of this book.

“Striving to live a full life means that you’re not just working towards the next reaching-the-mountaintop experience, but you’re working to make every day meaningful, fulfilling, and life-giving. Living fully means living fully every day, and finding that joy and purpose in your everyday life.”

Those who know me, know I have struggled during my last two pregnancies, and 2022 was not a walk-in the park for me either, but here I am in 2023, and living a fuller life because of Mallory’s words in her first book: ‘Living Fully: Dare to Step into Your Most Vibrant Life’. It was like listening to a friend share her trials and tribulations with the hopes she can encourage you to fuel the fire that’s burning in your soul to live a fuller life.

In this book, All In: A Vision for Living Fully Everyday, Mallory shares principles from her first book, Living Fully and helps you apply them in your own life. All In is beautifully written, aesthetically pleasing, and again, like listening to a dear friend who is sharing advice, empowering you and cheering you on to live a full life and to make those bold choices.

Cute guide about getting what you want by being aware of what you’re saying yes to, creating a vision board to work towards what you want, seeing life’s curveballs as temporary setbacks and not making decisions when you’re in a “curveball” (read emotional) mindset.

I liked this book. I have a vision board and look at it often. I definitely subscribe to the manifesting what you want by positive thinking and seeing what you want down to the finest detail in your eye to bring it to fruition.

This book reinforced all of that, and I LOVE that she didn’t take 45 chapters to say the same thing 87 different ways.

[Samantha (Millennial Life Crisis Bookshelf) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Love Mallory Ervin! This book isn’t necessarily a book but rather a journal and guide to implement things that Mallory discussed in her previous book, Living Fully. In this journal, it gives the space and instructions to write, plan, and reflect in addition to steps on creating vision board and identifying and manifesting goals for the future. The setup of this journal is great, and the flow works really well to understand and work through everything outlined. I can’t wait to use it to implement change in my own life!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

[Leigha Hooper · Rating 5 out of 5]

Energetic, inspiring and eye-opening. The way this book really opens up your mind to a different perspective is amazing. It makes me want to go back to Mallory’s first book, Living Fully, and read it again. I love that this book gives you step by step prompts and tools to help you actually live the full life you deserve to live.

[Jezzeri · Rating 3 out of 5]

Living fully means living fully every day, and finding that joy and purpose in your everyday life. Create a vision board and visualize with detail how you want your life to be. Ensure that the things on your vision board aligns with your core values and legacy. Do not stay complacent or just "fine;" go after what you actually want in life.

[Amy · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a breath of fresh air to read, and easy ideas to journal and put into life practice on how to live more fully, and to your best happiness. Ideas for vision boards, and how to manifest your best life.

Are you looking for a fun book that can help you fulfill your heart's desire and find more joy in you life? This is a fun book that will help you find what you are looking for in your life. I loved this book and will definitely keep going back to this book.

[Amber Holbrook · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very simplistic quick read with suggestions to simplify life and focus on what matters most. Steps on how to build a vision board. I didn't feel that the information was new or life-changing, but good reminders.

[Wendy · Rating 2 out of 5]

Nothing new here. I like Mallory but it’s just the same regurgitated stuff from her last book. Super short, lots of writing prompts. Not very good or useful.

[Taniesha · Rating 3 out of 5]

Going to create a vision board!

[julianne tripp · Rating 2 out of 5]

I loved her first book but this just seemed to be the same thing just a shorter version. Mallory is a great motivator but this book was a super quick listen and didn’t really do it for me

[Kristina Opalinski · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love Mallory Ervin and her positive views on life and living fully. This was a great book to show how to implement the teachings from her first book. And it’s a pretty book, too!

[Alexis · Rating 3 out of 5]

I am such a pessimistic person and this is written so positively that this just read as false.

I'm not saying it is.

But you'll have to fight me to convince me otherwise.

[Christin · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved the simplicity of creating your vision board and changing your mindset. She really puts things I to perspective!

[Chelsey Haughey · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed reading this book! I put a fire in my belly to live fully and I can’t wait to get started on my vision board. I love Mallory!

[Sarah Louise Dale · Rating 5 out of 5]

I took notes and I’m ALL IN love with this book! If you need a reminder to get your life back on track, buy this book!

[Alecia Elizabeth · Rating 5 out of 5]

(audiobook on Libby) this was a quick listen and helped me reflect on my mindset. It will be beneficial to relisten to this once or twice a year!

[Katie Jo · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was CUTE! I needed this as a teenager / early 20’s but loving it in my 30’s! It’s all about creating a vision board & I loved that it was interactive & had me really thinking 🩷

[Alex DeJoy · Rating 3 out of 5]

I like Mallory, this was a quick book with a few take aways nothing groundbreaking

[Jessica Call · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thank you for the arc And the chance to give my honest review


This is a quick read and inspirational! The author gives you some tools to use and follow. It’s like a journal and self help book. Plus it’s a self confidence booster. I think this is something that would be beneficial to a lot of people. We only get one life and we should definitely live it and love it. And sometimes you need some help to get you started on your journey. She makes it look and sound fun!

[Mandy Hazen · Rating 4 out of 5]

A beautiful look though how to utilize your inner light in life and how to make your life brighter. Pun intended. Highly recommend. Especially loved the reflection to true life to humanize my feelings and relate. I felt like this book was SPEAKING TO ME. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

[Penny · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is a super quick read and the entire book is pretty much a how to create a vision board. I read it in a few hours. It gives you good Mallory wisdom.
