Brought to you by Penguin.

Self-care has become a staple in women's lives. From juice cleanses to yoga workshops to luxury bamboo sheets, we are sold breezy fixes in pastel-coloured packages, and then made to feel at fault when they don't work, like there is something wrong with us. But we are not broken: the game is rigged against us. And if we set aside those activities that don't serve us, we can all reconnect with ourselves and become agents of change in our lives.

In Real Self-Care, psychiatrist and women's mental health specialist Dr Pooja Lakshmin will help you understand what a real and sustainable practice of caring for yourself looks like. Using case studies, clinical research and actionable strategies to deal with common problems, this audiobook will help you set boundaries and move past guilt, treat yourself with compassion, live a life aligned with your values and assert your power. The result - having ownership over your life - is nothing less than a personal and social revolution.

Because real self-care is not a noun - it's a verb. And while it may not be as easy as buying that crystal-infused water bottle, the rewards are infinite.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"A compassionate and powerful approach to true wellbeing. Real Self-Care is a helpful and timely book, and one that every modern woman needs." (Julia Samuel)

"A bracingly honest, galvanizing and necessarily provocative look at what 'self-care' looks at - through a political and feminist lens. Expect to fold down every other page." (Pandora Sykes)

"Invaluable. For anyone mothering, working, simply trying to be their 'best self', this book will offer clarity and a new way forward." (Katherine Ormerod)

I’m putting some of Lakshmin’s advice into practice relating to shame and also agency and have small and strong differences in my emotional landscape as a result. Some of her metaphors I return to in the moment (the faulty check engine light!) and it guides me well. I’ll certainly reread this again during challenging times.

Very Helpful Perspective Shift

Self care as a mindset shift rather than specific acts. Really interesting to consider how self care has been used as another stick to beat yourself with when you are not achieving.

Really interesting concept

A refreshing change from the usual individualistic "wellness" solutions to systemic problems. This book draws inspiration from diverse sources such as Audre Lorde and Martha Beck. I gained numerous helpful insights from the book. Many of the case studies weren't that relatable for me, as they were based on women struggling to balance the conflicting demands of children vs a corporate career. I also wished the narrator paused a bit more to let the information sink in before moving on to the next point/paragraph. Nevertheless, I'm glad I listened to this book and I feel it can help many women who have been trying and failing to manage their trauma and exhaustion with superficial wellness solutions.
