Take a moment to pause... Breathe... And ask yourself, what does self-care mean to you?

Empowering, illuminating and written with authenticity and honesty throughout-this is a manual for everyone and will help you look after yourself on your path towards happiness and wellbeing.
An activity-based journal exploring self-care in all its forms. This book delves into the why and the how of self-care, examining why it is so foundational to our wellbeing and how we can implement it in our daily lives, drawing on a diverse range of approaches.

Unpeel the layers in Hell Yeah Self-Care! to understand self-care in all aspects of your life. -- Naomi Ortiz, Author of Sustaining Spirit: Self-Care for Social Justice With tenderness and expertise, Alex Iantaffi and Meg-John Barker have written a powerful book for those of us who are on a path of healing and are distrustful of the mainstream disease model of mental health. Highly recommended. -- Sascha Altman DuBrul, co-founder of The Icarus Project
