The Clever Self Care Guide

Life can be full of challenges rocking our boat so strongly that we risk drowning in a sea of stress and mental ill-health. That’s why self-care is such a vital skill. Dr Nadine Hamilton has spent over 17 years in her speciality psychology practice helping professionals and businesses get on top of stress and psychological fatigue to avoid burnout, depression and self-harm. Her 2019 international best-seller Coping With Stress and Burnout as a Veterinarian targeted a profession with a suicide rate almost four times higher than the general population. Now, after two years of social, personal, and financial impacts from a global pandemic, she has found herself working with her clients (and herself) more and more on self-care — how to use self-understanding and practical psychological tools to attain and maintain better mental wellbeing. Time then, to release a new book to help anyone who is finding life at work and home a tough ask at times. Nadine gives us a clever guide to self-care covering topics such as setting boundaries, dealing with stress and anxiety, self-esteem, coping with grief, resilience, compassion fatigue, mentally healthy workplaces, and the imperative to build more hope and optimism into our daily lives.

This book provides easy, effective, strategies to help you prioritise self care, put yourself first, and manage stress more effectively. Written by best-selling author and renowned Psychologist Dr Nadine Hamilton, the book provides an insight into the different types and effects of stress on our minds and bodies, and is packed with helpful and effective strategies you can use to try and manage stress more effectively. Dr Nadine continues on from her prior two books - the bestseller "Coping with Stress and Burnout as a Veterinarian" and "The Clever Self Care Guide" in this gorgeous little resource designed to help you get on top of stress and live a life you love!

“Taking care of yourself is not meant to be stressful. [This book] gives practical tips for implementing self-care in our busy lives.” —Allure Some days you need a pick-me-up, some days you need a life preserver. As Anna Borges explains, for most of us, self-care is a wide spectrum of decisions and actions that soothe and fortify us against all the shit we deal with. You may already practice some form of self-care, whether it’s taking an extra-long shower after a stressful day, splurging on a fancy dinner, or choosing Netflix over that friend-of-a-friend’s birthday party. But when life gets so overwhelming that you want to stay in bed, some more radical care is crucial to maintain your sanity. The More or Less Definitive Guide to Self-Care is here to help you exist in the world. Borges gathers over 200 tips, activities, and stories (from experts and everyday people alike) into an A-to-Z list—from asking for help to catching some Zzz’s. Make any day a little more OK with new skills in your self-care toolkit—and energy to show up for yourself. A Foreword INDIES Gold Winner “This self-help guide made me feel seen.” —Real Simple “A compendium [about] how to move through the world with a little more kindness for yourself.” —Bustle “Give [this to] your Type A friend who runs herself ragged.” —Los Angeles Times
