Real Self-Care: A Transformative Program for Redefining Wellness by Pooja Lakshmin

hopeful informative reflective relaxing fast-paced

4.5

The energy in this book is phenomenal. It's a great spread of revolutionary concepts for beginners and an awesome supplement for folks more versed in self care and self help practices. I loved its practical criticisms of the current self care movement and the emphasis on the importance of cultivating boundaries and values in order to truly practice real self care to create real impact in your life and relationships. The exercises can be a tad overwhelming (especially the compass one) but overall I think it provides great guidance on how to build a life that you're happy with rather than a life others tell you that you'll be happy with.
