UrBestSelf 6-Minute Diary Pure – 3-Million-Copy Gratitude Journal for Women & Men – Guided Mental Health Journal Based on Positive Psychology – Daily Manifestation Journal for Self-Care & Mindfulness

I bought the original 6 minute journal this time last year, and quickly got into the daily habit. It's great that it doesn't take long, so I could fit it into my busy working-parent life. The quotes, questions and weekly reflections were often really thought provoking and over the past year massively helped me to make quite life changing decisions (like relocating halfway across the country to live by the seaside!) This is a journal that can fit into anyone's life and really does help you to create your best life and best self. I fell out of the habit during our move, but have treated myself to the Pure version to get into again as we start 2019. I thought that it was a bit pricey when I first ordered it last year, but really it's worth it I'd say. I also emailed the team who made this to find out when the Pure version was coming out and got a lovely, personal, reply - it's nice to know that it's real people, and real nice people, behind it all. PLUS you get a free e-book emailed to you when you buy about the Golden Evening Routine. Nothing to lose, everything to gain xxx

I have had this diary for a week and the results of it have been amazing. It's gradually altered my mindset over the past week. I feel much more positive and I have become so much more productive! It also comes with the e-book 'the golden evening routine' which had some very good suggestions that made me concentrate more on important decisions throughout the day rather than things that don't really matter during the morning. As a result, I'm finding myself less exhausted in the evening. Every day I have completed all the important tasks I have set myself giving me more time to myself and to spend with others. The quality of the diary is brilliant, with a nice hardcover and thick pages. I love the layout, the quotes, and the week's challenge. Who knew 6mins per day could make such a difference!

Brilliant tool

I got a lot out of the first volume of The 6-Minute Diary. It helped me, a natural pessimist, to take stock of and appreciate the good things in life just by asking me a few simple (and yes, repetitive) questions every single day, with a weekly set of deeper questions that ultimately helped me think about what was important in life to me. This second volume is useful for keeping that positivity and gratitude going. I gave it only 4 stars because the weekly reflection, which I used to find sometimes challenging but definitely enlightening, has been replaced by a 'lighter' version, although I can see that it is still useful. Overall I have found that creating the habit of thinking about the positives in life, however small, has been really beneficial for me.

I absolutely love this product. I started with the Six Minute Diary but was rather half-hearted about it - thinking it couldn't possibly be just six minutes a day... but it arrived and I filled it in that day ... and the next day... and the next day... I loved the daily quotes/affirmations; I loved the fact that the statements/questions are simple and straightforward and didn't make it feel like an exam or that there was a "wrong answer". I just love it. So much that as I filled it in one day.. then the next... then the next... I came to the end of it. I was delighted and disappointed all at the same time... so I immediately ordered the Six Minute Diary Plus... and am very much looking to not only continuing my morning and evening "journalling" (which has improved my focus on my life, my goals, what I will accept and what is unacceptable to me) and I have high hopes that "Plus" will allow me to continue to start and end each day in a positive, productive, pro-active mindset - which has had a massive beneficial impact on so many other aspects of my life. I'm going to end here because I know I'm beginning to sound evangelical about it... but I really can't recommend it highly enough. Buy it and tell yourself "I'll give it my best shot for a week"... don't look at the whole book and think I'll never get to the end... just tell yourself "seven days". That's what I did... but the first seven days were followed by the second seven days.. then the third ... and the fourth... and ... on those days where I couldn't fill it in first thing (with a cup of coffee in bed) ... I missed it. My day didn't "start right"... and on those rare occasions where I couldn't end my day positively reflecting on all the good things that had happened... I went to sleep with my heart that little bit less content .. and I couldn't hear my soul singing the lullaby that the diary created every evening. Buy it. Try it. I hope, like me, you'll love it.

This is the follow on book from the 6 min diary. And it literally takes 6 mins a day!... 3 in the morning and three at night. I bought this after my husband got the 6 minute diary of which I read the introduction... this was full of useful information as to why the author devised the book as he has, backing his reasons with scientific/psychological research. This '6 minute diary - pure' is the same as the 'diary part' of the original 6 min diary. It has the same easy to use layout and is full of inspirational quotes. It continues to guide you through the process of compassionate self reflection, development of gratitude and a positive approach to life, with the aim of reaching your true potential. Well presented, easy to read and simple to use... great product. I would highly recommend.

Really disappointed that it didn’t come with the cover sleeve that makes it more aesthetically pleasing , especially when it is for a gift.

I would just like to thank you for creating such a wonderful diary. My father passed at the start of this year and this book, it’s rituals and the introduction of a good habit each day has had a remarkable impact on my life, but also on my young family and friends. I plan to introduce more friends at work and in all connections in my life to this wonderful book and to improve their daily happiness and wellbeing. I send my very best to the Urbestself team for providing such a wonderful product and also for the way in which you conduct yourself shows the enriched culture the business has developed. You are most certainly improving the health and wellbeing of many people and I’ll do my utmost to share this diary to those around me. My very best wishes and kind regards, Rob
