I didn't realize how much I needed this book until I read it.
Lin-Manuel Miranda, the genius behind Hamilton and In the Heights , has a pretty prolific following on Twitter. Each day he provides a tweet of encouragement in the morning and one in the evening. Sometimes they're humorous, sometimes they're inspirational, and sometimes they just hit you right where you need them to.

I'm holding off on rating this because I listened to it on audio and didn't get to see any of Jonny's drawings, which I expect will be integral to the book. But just for the listening experience of Lin narrating this, his soothing voice, how short it was, how personalized the advice and kind words were in his lovely voice, I adored it. I listened to this in 45 minutes as I was lying in bed and playing Animal Crossing before going to sleep, and it made me smile and tear up and totally relax. I'm

Perfection. Lin-Manuel Miranda is maybe the most incredible human being on the planet.
A personal story about how one of Lin's tweets helped me, with a content warning for talk of suicide:
The news that Anthony Bourdain had taken his own life came when I was at my own emotional low-point. I was in a job that I had loved and fought for, but was working for a boss who was destroying my soul. Before long, it grew into the single worst depressive episode of my life. I often woke up at 2 in the ...more

Beautiful. I'm so grateful.
"What if — instead of compulsively reaching for your phone — you could reach for a book? A kind of comfort object that could keep you company all day long.

I'M WILLING TO WAIT FOR IT.
I'M WILLING TO WAIT FOR IT.
Gmorning. Hope springs eternal.
Gnight. Collection is infernal.
I’m going to sound like a big grumpus here, but I found neither motivation nor inspiration in these greetings, in fact they’re trite bordering on nonsensical. Honestly, I’d rather read Dr. Seuss, at least those rhyme.
An example…
Gmorning. Wear sensible shoes as you kick down doors.
Gnight, Take off your sensible shoes, put on your dancin’ shoes, you deserve it.
Let the power of that wash over you before you read this next one…

This was lovely to read, I adore how Lin initially tweeted these just to be nice and cheer someone’s day and it’s gotten so bigger than that because of his well-deserved fame.
The illustrations were really cute and nice to see alongside the poetry.
I borrowed this from the library so I’m thinking of buying the actual book and re-reading this - a double page spread every day to hopefully keep me thinking throughout the day positive thoughts.
A sweet read. 3.5 stars.

Reading this book was like receiving a warm hug from a loved one that you haven’t seen in a very long time. Like coming home and feeling instantly safer. Like looking up at the sky and knowing that no matter what happens, you will be okay.

Lin's narration = <3
Love his energy!
This lifted my mood and was very peaceful to me.
Would recommend.

This book is a compilation of short pep talks for each morning and evening, with illustrations that really add to the text (like flying garbage trucks, for example). The texts are compiled from Miranda's Twitter greetings, and I think this is a really good choice, hence my five stars.
The mornings and evenings mirror each other; you can dip into the book at random, or just go through, gradually or like a book. You might also sometimes feel like putting some on Post-Its or other places of ...more

Read this in less than an hour. Remembered some of them from Twitter, which was fun. Awesome stuff.
Gmorning, Gnight!: Little Pep Talks for Me & You is an adorable book of affirmations, that is equal parts inspirational and funny plus the gorgeous illustrations are an added treat to the eyes.
On the whole, this book is really very simple, just a few words accompanying the good morning and good night greetings, but those handful of words are totally spot on! One could open this up at any page and read it and be delighted/inspired/encouraged by them. I think this is a perfect coffee-table ...more

The world needs more books like these! Rooted in honesty- these pep talks are extremely likely to further brighten any day. It’s definitely a book I’ll be grabbing off the shelf when I need a pick me up.
I don’t have a book of quotations
Or wisdom I pull from the shelf;
Most often the greetings I wish you
Are the greetings I wish for myself.
So if I write “relax,” then I’m nervous,
Or if I write, “cheer up,” then I’m blue.
I’m writing what I wish somebody would say,
Then switching the pronoun to you.
And after a few years of greetings,
They started to vary in tone;
And people said, “Lin, your gmornings and nights
Are the nicest things up in my phone.”

Lin-Manuel Miranda is a national treasure. He’s a precious Cinnamon (Linnamon) Roll who needs to be protected always and is one of the only reasons I use Twitter. Basically...I love him. He regularly does good morning and good night tweets. Little snippets of love and encouragement. You can hear his voice in them. They are delightful. This book is a collection of those tweets with illustrations. Perfect. I think it would also make a nice gift. (Hint hint-my copy was from the library. Just

Accept it for what it is— a collection of Twitter-ready inspirational sayings, aphorisms, and poems which convey the usual self-help niceties and advice (“Let’s make some new mistakes,” “This moment will pass,”” Face the day,” or “Dream big” for example.). Expecting much more from Miranda, I was underwhelmed.
damn, I really needed that (4.5)

Too much like Dr. Seuss which is fine if you are reading Dr. Seuss but this isn't.

This is pretty much exactly what I needed right now. I'd tattoo bits of it on me any day, just to remember that I'm not alone and that life is worth it.
Thank you, Lin-Manuel.
Thank you, Lin-Manuel.
When you were born you held infinite promise. You’re older, you’re all banged up by life, but you hold that promise still.
I hated every second of this, but it's Lin-Manuel Miranda.
I don’t know if I loved more listening the ones I hadn’t seen before in his twitter profile or the ones I had seen and retweeted.
Let me set the scene: I'm having what could be classified as "a rough time" meaning that nothing is serious is wrong, everyone is healthy and I have people who love me, but I'm still finding reasons to cry at the gym or in my car. I go to the mailbox on Tuesday because my husband tells me he ordered a surprise for me weeks ago and it's here. Open the mailbox; it's PEP TALKS FROM LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA. I started crying in the street because there is maybe nothing in the world that would have made me

Lin Manuel-Miranda is a treasure. His words of encouragement and comfort are so pure, lovely, and helpful.
One of my favorites:
Gnight! The moment that connects you to your true passion might be on the other side of tonight. Or just a baby step there. Let's see!

Lin-Manuel Miranda managed to write a book that walks the fine line between the overly sentimental and the inspirational. Reading this book, I feel nothing but inspiration and a feeling of contentment. Each of these little bits of bite-sized pieces of awesome are just perfect to ingest and take with you for the day or through the night while you rest. They are lovely, sweet, and wonderful and have an air of goodness about them. I recommend this for when you need a non-schmaltzy pick-me-up. For
