Description

Real Self-Care: A Transformative Program for Redefining Wellness By Pooja Lakshmin, MD A long-overdue reckoning with the contradictions of the wellness industry, this book offers a paradigm-shifting program for practicing real self-care. The author argues that the cultural emphasis on self-care is incomplete and often manipulative, focusing instead on superficial practices that keep us looking outward rather than inward. Dr. Lakshmin's approach seeks to empower individuals by recognizing the role of oppressive social systems in perpetuating women's problems. She provides a clear-eyed look at the way these systems drain our energy and offers concrete principles for independence from them. This book is not about quick fixes or luxury products, but about transforming your relationship with yourself. For anyone who has felt that self-care practices have failed to deliver lasting change, this book may be just what you need.
