The Feel Good Guide by Matilda Green | Wellbeing Book

In stock
Sale price$36.99

Practical, warm and refreshingly free of lecturing

After a difficult stretch, New Zealand author Matilda Green went looking for tools that would actually help rather than simply sound good. The Feel Good Guide is what came out of that search, and it is the rare wellbeing book that feels like a conversation with a friend instead of an instruction manual.

Across eight chapters Matilda works through self esteem, the idea that you are already enough, gratitude, meditation, mindfulness, nutrition and movement, environment and sleep. Each one closes with an action plan, so the book gives you something to do rather than just something to think about. Her tone is honest about the messy parts, which is precisely why the advice lands.

As she puts it, this is less about changing who you are than learning to like who you already are. It sits naturally beside a journal from our Write To Me collection, and alongside the calmer titles in our books collection.

Gifting ideas

For a friend having a hard year: Kind rather than preachy, which makes it a safe gift when someone is struggling. Pair it with a candle from our candles collection for a gentle care package.

For a young woman finding her feet: A lovely gift for a school leaver, a first flat or a milestone birthday. It also slots easily into our gifts for her edit.

Frequently asked questions

Is it more memoir or more practical? A balance of both. Matilda shares her own experience openly, but every chapter finishes with a clear action plan, so there is always something concrete to take away.

What topics does it actually cover? Self esteem, self worth, gratitude, meditation, mindfulness, nutrition and movement, your environment, and sleep.

Do I need to have read her first book? Not at all. This follows The Lazy Girl's Guide to Living a Beautiful Life but stands completely on its own.
