Maggiori informazioni sul libro
From board-certified psychiatrist and women's mental health specialist Pooja Lakshmin, MD, comes a critical examination of the wellness industry and practical strategies for genuine self-care. The term self-care has become ubiquitous, covering everything from juice cleanses to yoga classes, often presented as a solution to women's issues. However, Dr. Lakshmin argues that this cultural embrace of self-care is often superficial and manipulative. The prevailing narrative suggests that fixing our problems can be as simple as purchasing a planner or attending a meditation class, but this approach distracts us with external comparisons and unrealistic standards. True self-care is a deeper, internal journey that requires effort and difficult choices. This work distinguishes between superficial and authentic self-care, challenging readers to reconsider what real self-care entails. Through case studies, clinical research, and empathy, Lakshmin offers actionable strategies for meaningful change. She guides readers in setting boundaries, overcoming guilt, practicing self-compassion, and reclaiming their power. By redefining self-care, she empowers individuals to engage in a more profound and sustainable practice that fosters true well-being.
