Hi, I’m Nika Kabiri.
Better decisions create a better life. Let me show you how. ✨
Better decisions lead to a better life. I can show you how.
I’ve spent over 20 years diving deep into decision-making—everything from relationships to politics to business. With a PhD in Sociology focused on choice theory and experience teaching Decision Science at the University of Washington, I’ve coached people from all backgrounds and worked with companies like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. My ideas have been featured in The Washington Post, Time, Fast Company, and more. I’ve written for HuffPost, The Hill, and Inside Sources and even have a bestselling book, Money off the Table: Decision Science and the Secret to Smart Investing. LA Weekly also named me a top life coach.
But honestly, none of that matters as much as what decision science can do for you. It literally saved my life. It pulled me out of suicidal depression, helped me escape the feeling of being completely stuck, and gave me a way to build a fulfilling life. What worked for me has worked for so many others—and it can work for you, too.
I wasn’t always this happy.
In my 20s, I was stuck in a cycle of anxiety, depression, and constant panic attacks. I didn’t want to keep going. Everything felt bleak, and the future seemed pointless.
Fast forward to my 30s: I went to grad school, studied choice theory, and everything clicked. Learning how and why we make decisions changed my perspective—and my life.
Once I started applying what I learned to my everyday life, things shifted. Better choices led to better circumstances, and better circumstances improved my mental health. Now? Even when life gets hard, I don’t spiral into depression or let anxiety take over. Panic attacks? A thing of the past.
Now, I want to pass that on to anyone feeling stuck, hopeless, or overwhelmed. I know it sounds cheesy, but I really do want to help people and make the world a better place.
Decision science gave me the tools to build a life I’m proud of. It can do the same for you. The change starts with your next decision. Let’s make it count.
