The Good Decision Diary

Your daily guide to making better decisions, more of the time

I'll never eat sugar again!
I’ll work out every single morning!
I will never, ever shout at my kids!

Sound familiar? Anna Mathur, Sunday Times bestselling author and psychotherapist, has been there too. In The Good Decision Diary, Anna introduces a compassionate and realistic alternative to unsustainable promises. This isn’t about perfection - it’s about progress.

The journey begins with 21 days of reflection and observation, where Anna shares her own experiences and equips you with tools to approach change with kindness and curiosity.

From there, she gently guides you through a 14-day practice of questioning behaviours, challenging long-held beliefs about change, and identifying patterns of self-sabotage. You’ll discover how a decision that nurtures you one day can hinder you the next - and how to tell the difference in the moment.

The Good Decision Diary will help you make better decisions, not all of the time, but more of the time.

The Good Decision Diary offers a reflective, low-pressure approach to personal growth. It's designed as a daily guide for those looking to untangle habits and better understand their inner voice, with more gentleness than the typical fix-yourself-fast approach
