Book SynopsisNational Bestseller featured by Good Morning America, NPR''s Code Switch, The New York Times, and The GuardianRealistic and trustworthy -- InStyleThis isn’t just another self-help book. It gives us a clear-eyed look at the way social systems drain our energy, and a concrete set of principles to rely on as we declare independence from these systems. —Martha Beck, New York Times bestselling author of The Way of IntegrityThis book is for anyone who’s ever removed a ''relaxing'' sheet mask only to realize it hasn’t transformed you so much as your trash can.” —Jessica DeFino, The UnpublishableFrom women’s mental health specialist and New York Times contributor Pooja Lakshmin, MD, comes a long-overdue reckoning with the contradictions of the wellness industry and a paradigm-shifting program for practicing real self-care that will empower, uplift, and maybe even start a revolution.You may have noticed that it’s nearly impossible to go even a couple days without coming across the term self-care. A word that encompasses any number of lifestyle choices and products—from juice cleanses to yoga workshops to luxury bamboo sheets—self-care has exploded in our collective consciousness as a panacea for practically all of women’s problems. Board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Pooja Lakshmin finds this cultural embrace of self-care incomplete at best and manipulative at worst. Fixing your troubles isn’t simple as buying a new day planner or signing up for a meditation class. These faux self-care practices keep us looking outward—comparing ourselves with others or striving for a certain type of perfection. Even worse, they exonerate an oppressive social system that has betrayed women and minorities.Real self-care, in contrast, is an internal, self-reflective process that involves making difficult decisions in line with our values, and when we practice it, we shift our relationships, our workplaces, and even our broken systems.In Real Self-Care, Lakshmin helps readers understand what a real practice of caring for yourself could—and does—look like. Using case studies from her practice, clinical research, and the down-to-earth style that she''s become known for, Lakshmin provides a step-by-step program for real and sustainable change and solace. Packed with actionable strategies to deal with common problems, Real Self-Care is a complete roadmap for women to set boundaries and move past guilt, treat themselves with compassion, get closer to themselves, and assert their power. The result—having ownership over one’s own life— is nothing less than a personal and social revolution.Trade Review"Instead of pushing us to strive – or suggesting a cleanse – Lakshmin provides tools for boundary setting and treating yourself with compassion." -- NPR’s Books We Love for 2023"In her practical guide to self-care, psychiatrist Pooja Lakshmin points out that so many elements of life are out of our control — which makes her arguments so much more realistic and trustworthy. Regular massages and manicures are incredible, but if you’re wondering why you still feel so stressed and rushed despite indulging in soothing activities, Lakshmin has the answer." -- InStyle"Lakshmin’s Real Self-Care is a self-help book that aims to offer self-care tips that go beyond telling individual people to buy more expensive face creams, and instead help readers both live within the systemic outrages of capitalism and find ways of changing the system." -- Vox “This book is for anyone who’s ever removed a 'relaxing' sheet mask only to realize it hasn’t transformed you so much as your trash can.” --Jessica DeFino, The Unpublishable“I see parents—moms in particular—struggling with the weight of expectations, feelings of failure, and the sense of never measuring up. In Real Self-Care Pooja explores what it really means to take care of ourselves and provides a revolutionary self-care framework that is honest, compassionate, and completely actionable.” --Dr. Becky Kennedy, clinical psychologist, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Good Inside, and CEO and founder of Good Inside“Real Self Care is a revelation! Pooja takes us through a journey of unlearning and rediscovery to tackle burnout, make ourselves whole again, and step into our power in a world that is often stacked against us.“--Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play“Pooja's Real Self-Care is a gentle yet direct invitation for us to consider the things that will really help us to be well. She does a masterful job of exposing the life hacks and shortcuts that may seem helpful in the short term while encouraging us to interrogate and change the systems and beliefs that actually contribute to us feeling burned out and overwhelmed. This is a practical and helpful guide for anyone who has done all the things the listicles have outlined and is still feeling overrun and worn out. Pooja provides a real path forward paved with compassion and encouragement.” --Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, Licensed Psychologist & Founder of Therapy for Black Girls"This isn’t just another self-help book. It gives us a clear-eyed look at the way social systems drain our energy, and a concrete set of principles to rely on as we declare independence from these systems. Pooja is just the kind of wise, compassionate, experienced advisor who can help us claim health and happiness for the long term, despite the near-impossible demands that face us all. Real Self-Care is a much-needed sanctuary for the minds and hearts of its readers." --Martha Beck, New York Times bestselling author of The Way of Integrity"I always say that the first step of any negotiation is to convince yourself. Real Self Care *is* that first step in indelible book form. Through her lucid, wise, hilariously honest advice, Pooja Lakshmin will transform your thinking about what it means to feel worthy, precious, and powerful. To protect your time, to burn bright, not burn out. I know she'll do that for you because she's done it for me." --Lauren Smith Brody, author and founder of The Fifth Trimester, co-founder Chamber of Mothers"A thought-provoking and essential addition to health and wellness literature, Real Self-Care is an inspirational guide to self-love and healing.” --She Reads"In her heart­felt and empathetic REAL SELF-CARE, she shares how she moved beyond shame and regret to a hap­pier, more true-to-herself life, something she believes readers can do, too."--BookPage"Pooja is the voice of an entire generation of people who have been left out and even harmed by the superficial "wellness" game."--Kaz J. Nelson, MD, DFAPA, Associate Professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, University of Minnesota Medical School "With Real Self-Care Pooja Lakshmin invites readers to engage in the deep inner work that is the foundation for a stable and fulfilling life. She shows that, without this work, surface-level 'faux self-care' practices will only ever be a BandAid fix, while our lives continue to become increasingly unmanageable—making this a comforting and necessary book in times of individual and collective upheaval." - Ruby Warrington, author of Sober Curious and Women Without Kids“A bracingly honest, galvanizing and necessarily provocative look at what ‘self-care’ looks at – through a political and feminist lens. Expect to fold down every other page.” --Pandora Sykes “Invaluable. For anyone mothering, working, simply trying to be their ‘best self’, this book will offer clarity and a new way forward.” --Katherine Ormerod, author of Why Social Media is Ruining Your Life

Book Synopsis‘Without Simon Waterson’s help and guidance, I literally wouldn’t have made it through fifteen years of playing James Bond ... It’s been an honour working with him.’ Daniel Craig_________________________‘Working with Simon is the nearest you get to actually being a superhero, in the sense you are at your absolute peak of physical health. That makes you feel incredibly robust in these challenging times.’ Benedict Cumberbatch_________________________Drawing on his vast experience as the elite trainer who transformed Daniel Craig’s physique for five James Bond films, along with countless other actors for blockbuster roles, Simon Waterson reveals how to enhance your energy, sleep and confidence with his intelligent approach to fitness.A former marine, and now the film industry’s most in-demand fitness trainer, Simon Waterson’s client list reads like a who’s who of A-list actors. He has transformed Daniel Craig into the formidable James Bond for five blockbuster films, shaped Chris Evans into superhero Captain America, trained Chris Pratt for Guardians of the Galaxy and prepared actors such as Thandiwe Newton and John Boyega for the most recent Star Wars films. During a time where people are understanding fitness and nutrition in a completely new way – eschewing quick fixes and yo-yo diets in favour of long term solutions – Simon shares his practical and highly accessible approach to reimagining your body and transforming your fitness. Simon encourages you to focus on training, recovery and nutrition to build on your performance, rather than aesthetic. This is a training manual for any age and any fitness level, packed with expert advice and achievable goals that will motivate you to reboot your body.Trade ReviewHe’s the kind of trainer that is a true partner, one who not only sets the appointment and counts the reps, but does the workout with you, motivating and challenging you, and engaging in the kind of conversations that leave you laughing and chatting for an hour after your session. -- Chris PrattSimon has a very strong philosophy, that aesthetic is a by-product of performance. This always made sense to me ... All the information he gives you is easy to understand and sustainable and it allowed me to reach my goals and each time surpass them. He gave me the confidence physically to carry off these roles. He’s also a great human and I love working with him. -- Luke EvansSimon is extremely rigorous and diligent: always prepared and punctual. He is unfailingly respectful, careful and kind. He knows when to work hard: he knows when to push a little further; to encourage you out of your comfort zone. He taught me so much. -- Tom HiddlestonSimon, working with you has always been a great pleasure. Not only are you the best trainer but you are also the funniest. You always make me laugh so much and, for the abs, there is nothing better! -- Léa SeydouxIf you had told me I’d be in the best shape of my life at forty-one, I would have said you were crazy. Simon was able to achieve that by not only changing my workout regimen, but by changing my entire mental approach to the whole process. From diet and cardio to heavy lifts and recovery treatments, Simon takes great care to push your body in incremental steps rather than vicious shifts in weight or appearance. -- John KrasinskiResults come not just from working hard, but from working smart. With Simon’s help, I’ve been able to sustain the highest level of health and fitness through several action movie franchises without injury or misery. I am one of countless others within the entertainment industry who trust him completely. It’s thrilling that Simon’s proven strategies will now be available to all. -- Bryce Dallas Howard

Once we find within ourselves what we've been searching for, we won't have to bother looking "out there."We can't own that which is great within ourselves unless we learn to recognize it in others.Peace comes with total inner surrender to what is.By continuously letting go, it is possible to stay in that state of freedom. Feelings come and go, and eventually you realize that you are not your feelings, but that the real "you" is merely witnessing them.

Book SynopsisA holistic approach for healing trauma stored in the gut. A healthy gut is fundamental to a healthy life. Embedded within our digestive ­system is the enteric nervous system, our “second brain,” which serves to protect us from the external world of adversity, including not only viruses and bacteria, but also traumatic events. As Nikki Kenward, CST-D, MCSS, explains, past challenges and traumas, whether emotional or physical, are held in the enteric nervous system in many ways, including fascial tension, cellular changes, and unhelpful “default settings.” Exploring in depth what she calls “the Post-Traumatic Gut,” Kenward describes the anatomy and physiology of the enteric nervous system, including the polyvagal system, and the many ways that our emotional history and current emotional state can impact our digestive system. Sharing recent research, she describes the science behind the emotional gut and how to apply it to chronic digestive issues like IBS and Crohn’s disease as well as mental health issues such as anorexia, bulimia, anxiety, and depression. She explains how and why the digestive gut absorbs emotions and what you can do to heal its functions by addressing psychosomatic stressors, rather than just nutrition. Presenting case studies from her 25 years in clinical practice as well as her own healing journey, she reveals the synchronicity between digestive/metabolic functions and psychological/perceptual insight and how allowing the cells to “speak” through bodywork such as CranioSacral Therapy and SomatoEmotional Release Therapy can help renew the microbiome of the second brain, release intergenerational trauma and illness, and restore one’s psychospiritual life. Sharing visualization exercises and a hands-on process of listening to the gut layer by layer, the author helps readers unwind stagnant cellular patterns, discover the dynamic intelligence in every cell, and transform Post-Traumatic Gut into Post-Traumatic growth.Trade Review“In recent years, our awareness of the importance of the gut—its structures and the mysteries it contains—has been raised by the arrival of numerous texts on the subject. Most are really useful for reference purposes and for a greater sense of the map and features of the territory within us. Knowledge is useful, but to accelerate our understanding of these mysteries, it is important to have a resource that takes us into the reality rather than simply the theory. Nikki’s personal story takes us into that lived reality. It helps to bring the anatomy of the gut to life and, more importantly, to gain some understanding of its relationship to our deepest levels of health and well-being. There are also valuable insights into the potentially long-lasting effects of PTSD and its link to the function of our gut. This book provokes questions and encourages us to look further into this dynamic and fast-evolving area of research and study.” * Margaret Anne Gill, MBA, CST-D, MCSS, coauthor of The Inner Power of Stillness *“Overcoming Chronic Digestive Conditions is a brilliant read. It’s engaging, insightful, educational, and accessible. I would highly recommend it to anyone grappling with their own gut challenges or working in a therapeutic capacity treating those with gut-related health issues. Nikki brings to life through her own experiences how gut health problems are linked to our emotional and physical health, both now and earlier in our lives. The book helps us understand the vicious cycle of cause and effect: how challenges in our emotional and physical health have a knock-on effect on our gut health and how, in turn, the resultant gut challenges further negatively impact us emotionally and physically. I found the practical guidance and strategies immensely powerful as well as the new scientific research. And for those providing hands-on therapy, it will expand their capacity to treat patients, not just with gut disorders but also those with PTSD and neurodegenerative illness, such as Alzheimer’s and Dementia. This book never promises to deliver the silver bullet but instead offers a new lens through which to view this complex and fascinating subject.” * Linda Marsh, International Coaching Federation accredited and director at Gravitas MM, Ltd. *“This book arose out of Nikki’s personal journey toward recovery from PTSD following a diving accident. Along the way, her journey took her into an exploration of her own ‘gut feeling.’ Her personal journey has become a professional focus. Nikki is using her gathered knowledge to help her own patients as well as educate colleagues and students of many hands-on treatment modalities about this rapidly changing and exciting new area of medical science—the gut/ brain connection.” * Fiona Gilbraith, CST-D, qualified member of the CranioSacral Society *Table of ContentsForeword by Eric Moya, RMT, CST-D, MS/Mfct Acknowledgments Preface About Upledger CranioSacral Therapy 1 Why Are We Here? 2 Our Life in Our Body 3 Searching for Stories in the Second Brain 4 Finding Compassion for Your Gut’s History 5 Container for Shame 6 SomatoEmotional Release and Safety 7 The Black Hole 8 Still Frozen?
