The Art of Extreme Self-Care: Transform Your Life One Month at a Time

This is one of the few books I'd probably give a 3.5 star to but plan to read again. The reason...it is just simple and fast but it is something a person needs to be reminded of. The info is basic and standard so it may not be revolutionary but I like it because it is short. You can read/skim it quickly and remind yourself of all the things you should be doing to keep life in balance.
I hope to pick it up about 2 times a year and adjust my life again :)

This instructional book can be read straight through, but then the author recommends that you take one chapter at a time (not necessarily in the order they appear in the book) and try to apply its principles to your own life for a month. It demonstrates with examples, some drawn for the author's own life and some from her students and correspondents, how by appearing to put the interests of other people first we can in fact damage them by taking away their responsibilities and self-reliance. Well and interestingly written, though one or two of the American references might have been explained for English readers.

It's a short book, so there aren't a lot of specifics, and a lot of the specifics that are there don't apply to me at all. (I'd love to be able to offload some of my responsibilities onto my wife. Gotta find me one of those.) But - some of what was there was useful, nonetheless.

Really helpful book on self-care strategies, with a lot of further resources. Will be using this for the next little while.

I always find something useful to help me on my path to becoming me and not a reflection of the others who tried to make into a "mini" them. This book is no different.
