Kodansha releases Disney Princess journaling book for self-reflection

Kodansha has released ‘Disney Princess: Your Shining Magic Notebook’, a journaling book supervised by certified psychologist Koguni. The 96-page color book is designed to help users engage in self-reflection and mental health care through the stories of 11 Disney Princesses, including Rapunzel, Ariel, Belle, and Moana.

The book aims to address common struggles such as lack of confidence, feeling stuck in routines, or difficulty with self-love. It utilizes the concept of journaling—a practice gaining popularity among Gen Z and Millennials for digital detox and self-understanding—to guide readers through prompts and messages. The layout features a binding that allows the book to open flat for ease of writing.

Koguni, a popular figure on X (formerly Twitter) known for sharing psychological insights and addiction recovery knowledge, provided the supervision for the questions and wrote the accompanying messages. The book emphasizes that the princesses themselves faced conflicts and growth, serving as inspiration for readers to find their own inner light.
