REAL SELF-CARE - POOJA LAKSHMIN KARTONIERT (TB)

'A bracingly honest  galvanising and necessarily provocative look at "self-care" through a
political and feminist lens' Pandora Sykes    'This isn't just another self-help book. 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' Martha Beck    'A helpful and timely
book that every woman needs' Julia Samuel   What does self-care really mean? From puppy yoga to
gua shas  we are promised pastel-coloured 'quick fixes' to long-term social problems that cause
burnout and stress. But the truth is you can't meditate your way out of a 40-hour work week
with no childcare. So when these promises prove empty  we are made to feel like failures within
a system that is failing us.  Now  psychiatrist Dr. Pooja Lakshmin offers a sustainable
practice for real self-care. Based on her clinical and personal experience  Dr Lakshmin's
revolutionary framework reimagines self-care as an ongoing  internal process that involves
making difficult decisions in line with your values  putting boundaries in place  treating
yourself with compassion and asserting your power. Practising it has the power to change your
relationships  your workplace  and our broken systems. Her work serves as a wake-up call 
reminding us that wellbeing is not a product to buy  but a way to be.  It is time to let go of
the illusions of wellness and start practising real self-care. Because the result - having
ownership over your life - is nothing less than a personal and social revolution.
