Maggiori informazioni sul libro
From women's mental health specialist and New York Times contributor Pooja Lakshmin, MD, comes a critical examination of the wellness industry and a transformative program for genuine self-care that aims to empower and uplift. The term self-care has become ubiquitous, representing a wide range of lifestyle choices and products—from juice cleanses to yoga workshops. However, Dr. Lakshmin argues that this cultural embrace of self-care is often superficial and can be manipulative. True self-care isn't about purchasing items or attending classes; it requires introspection and alignment with our values. The superficial practices often lead to comparisons and a pursuit of perfection, while also perpetuating an oppressive social system that fails women and minorities. In contrast, authentic self-care is an internal journey that can transform relationships, workplaces, and societal structures. Through case studies, clinical research, and her approachable style, Lakshmin outlines a step-by-step program for sustainable change. The book offers actionable strategies for women to establish boundaries, overcome guilt, practice self-compassion, and reclaim their power. Ultimately, this journey leads to personal ownership and the potential for a broader social revolution.
