Too often, we settle for the notion that self-care means giving ourselves treats and rewards for good behavior. But it's so much more than that. Welcome to the self-care revolution! 

A day of indulgence at a spa—or at home on the couch—might help us unwind and feel temporarily renewed, but is that all there is to self-care? With this follow-up to her groundbreaking first book, Tracey Cleantis changes the dialogue about taking care of ourselves and demonstrates why real self-care is more than just routine self-indulgence. Feelings of lasting satisfaction, fulfillment, and joy are all influenced by your self-care mind-set.

An Invitation to Self-Care uncovers seven principles for care that are rooted in self-empowerment and self-knowledge. Through personal stories and observations, exercises and quizzes, and interviews with experts and everyday people, you are invited to consider self-care across your relationships, finances, spiritual and professional life—and more. Tracey's approach to care helps us realize that by accepting who we are, what we need, and how those needs evolve over time, we create space for self-care's transformational magic in our lives. This book is an invitation to explore how an authentic self-care practice is the secret to the life you've always wanted.
