Immediately Practical, Long Term Usable
Published by Ella , 8 months ago
Relatable, nerdy, and approachable. This book is obviously grounded in both research and real coaching experience. I have already started sharing resources from the book with friends on a regular basis.
Restores hope and gives practical ways to move through life's struggles.
Published by Carol , 10 months ago
This book has given me inspiration to authentically care for myself and not in a pop culture, Instagram way that actually makes you have to do more.
I feel happier and know how to help myself feel what my body has already been trying to tell me. I suggest this for anyone who deals with helping regulate other people's emotions. Teachers, moms and wives.
Ramble against the patriarchy
Published by Emilia , 2 years ago
First part of the book has some decent tips for stress management but the rest is a bit of a venting session on the patriarchy and Disney movies, a failed opportunity to actually educate people on the growing burnout epidemic. Dont waste your time and money
