Real Self-Care: A Transformative Program for Redefining Wellness (Crystals, Cleanses and Bubble Baths Not Included)


The term self-care is a common phrase in our culture often associated with Yoga retreats, meditation, spa packages and luxury products. And while all of these examples may allowe for some form of relaxation, they’re likely not providing the level of self-care that we actually need. That’s because the way self-care has been sold to us is external facing, keeping us in competition with one another and encouraging us to tap into resources that may be unavailable.


Real Self-Care: A Transformative Program for Redefining Wellness (Crystals, Cleanses and Bubble Baths Not Included) examines this phenomenon and suggests that we’ve been going about it all wrong. Author Pooja Lakshmin, MD, offers a new definition of self-care that is an internal, self-reflective process which encourages us to set boundaries and identify our values. Dr. Lakshmin introduces four key principles to building authentic, lasting self-care and coaches her readers on a journey away from perfectionism, and into “good enough,” thus redefining wellness along the way.


Join us as we dissect Real Self-Care and reclaim our power in a five-week book club led by interns Jessie and Beth.


"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."

—Martha Beck, New York Times bestselling author of The Way of Integrity
