The Extremely Busy Woman's Guide to Self-Care: Do Less, Achieve More, and Live the Life You Want by Suzanne Falter

3.0

This is a self care book written to guide women who are workers, mothers, wives, and overworked human beings to take care of themselves. The author comes from a unique standpoint because she’d recently lost her daughter Teal, who passed away but lived a short yet meaningful and carefree life that inspired the author to make this book. There are a lot of cute and admirable nuggets of wisdom from both Teal and the author on how to take care of and preserve your mental, physical, and emotional peace by learning how to say “no”, creating a work-life balance, and building self care habits into your everyday schedule with workbook exercises to guide you. Unfortunately the copy of the book I have doesn’t have the workbook piece and so much of the advice while helpful just didn’t or doesn’t seem tangible in the moment. I will check out her podcast and see if that’s worth looking into, but for a more tangible, actionable self care book I would look elsewhere.
