Real Self-Care: A Transformative Program for Redefining Wellness by Pooja Lakshmin
3.25
I liked this book and learned some things from it. I recommend it to anyone working on self care. This book emphasizes the fact each individual is in a system and is not alone. Systems fail us. At the same time, caring for ourselves can help transform the systems slowly over time. It’s not presented as the one solution for all systemic issues, but as part of it. Maybe like a sea change.

I learned a lot about drug history and research from this book, which I didn’t expect. The writing was enjoyable and funny.
