For the last twenty years I've dedicated my personal and professional life to the importance of self-care by teaching from my own experience, writes Cheryl Richardson. In the past, I've sacrificed my health and my relationships for work, given to others at the expense of my own needs, and watched my dreams slip through the cracks of a busy life. As a result, I've learned a lot about what it takes to put an end to the madness. . . . From years of personal experience, as well as coaching great men and women, I've come to understand that selfishness leads to selflessness. When we care deeply for ourselves, we naturally begin to care for others - our families, our friends, our greater global community, and the environment - in a healthier and more effective way. We tell the truth. We make choices from love instead of guilt and obligation. And we soon realize that we're all connected and that our individual actions affect a greater whole.
This updated edition of Cheryl's best-selling handbook The Art of Extreme Self-Care brings her message home to readers in a fresh and compelling way. Her practical, action-oriented program outlines 12 strategies to transform your life one month at a time, each one challenging you to alter one behavior that's blocking your path. Chapters include End the Legacy of Deprivation, Take Your Hands off the Wheel, The Absolute No List, and Does That Anger Taste Good? (Hint: it really doesn't.)
