Real Self-Care

Reviews

A gentle yet direct invitation for us to consider the things that will really help us to be well. This is a practical and helpful guide for anyone who has done all the things the listicles have outlined and is still feeling overrun and worn out. Pooja provides a real path forward paved with compassion and encouragement. In Real Self-Care, Pooja explores what it really means to take care of ourselves and provides a revolutionary self-care framework that is honest, compassionate, and completely actionable. A compassionate and powerful approach to true wellbeing. Real Self-Care is a helpful and timely book, and one that every modern woman needs. 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. Invaluable. For anyone mothering, working, simply trying to be their 'best self', this book will offer clarity and a new way forward. This isn't just another self-help book. It gives us a clear-eyed look at the way social systems drain our energy, and a concrete set of principles to rely on as we declare independence from these systems. Pooja is just the kind of wise, compassionate, experienced advisor who can help us claim health and happiness for the long term, despite the near-impossible demands that face us all. Real Self-Care is a much-needed sanctuary for the minds and hearts of its readers. Real Self Care is a revelation. Pooja takes us through a journey of unlearning and rediscovery to tackle burnout, make ourselves whole again and step into our power in a world that is often stacked against us. Expand reviews
