Planetopija
Our love for inspirational books is what connects us with Planetopija, a publishing house that publishes books in the fields of personal development and holistic approach to health, nutrition, spirituality, and ecology. They are extremely dedicated to books whose messages empower, inspire, and drive change for the better, and that's exactly what's at the core of our philosophy. And that's why we chose them to be our partner for Book Club, which we hold monthly, and besides discussing the current book we read over the past month, we discuss various life topics. It's not easy to single out two favorite books we've read during the first year of Book Club, but since we can't write about each one specifically, we'll put a slightly bigger focus on Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and "The Strangest Secret" by Earl Nightingale. Marcus Aurelius was the last of the Five Good Emperors, and he tried to save a dying world when he came to rule Rome. His thoughts, written as a personal diary (he initially called the book Meditations "To Myself"), serve as a guide for those seeking calmness and stability in a world that often breaks us. "The Strangest Secret" is a timeless personal development classic by Earl Nightingale. Although first published back in 1966, it is very much relevant today, speaking about passion for excellence and purposeful living, and a philosophy of individual success based on the idea that thoughts are real and that by changing our thoughts we can change our reality.

Daily Agenda x Well-being Diary
Materia Daily Agenda x Well-being Diary is a platform for recording daily obligations and tracking well-being across 6 categories. There are no strict or predetermined days or years, because as we all know - sometimes LIFE happens - and we can't always dedicate ourselves regularly to writing. This way, you can always return to it when you are able.
It is structured so that at the beginning there is a calendar for the next 5 years, i.e. until 2027, then follows the central part - a weekly overview for the whole year (52 weeks) and after that there are blank pages for writing, drawing, planning, motivating, inspiration, etc. Also, throughout the planner there are several quotes, which can be a great tool for reflection, prompting action, and sometimes even big changes.
