The Art of Extreme Self-Care

Transform your life one month at a time

Cheryl Richardson’s books are often quite alike. Her advice is usually similar in every book that I’ve read of hers, from Take Time for Your Life to Life Makeovers (which was probably my favorite). They all can be helpful if you’ve never read any of her books before or if you are brand new to coaching and self-help, but generally there’s not a whole lot of new concepts.

Mindful Monkey, Happy Panda

A book about mindfulness for children? Yes, please.

As we continue our journey toward being more mindful and embracing our emotions in healthy ways rather than pushing them away, my daughter and I are reading many more books about this practice.

I go through at least two pairs a year, not counting the pairs I knit to give away to people.

Anh’s Anger

This treasure of a book will help your child take care of his anger.

Anger isn’t something wrong, or something bad, as we often think it is. It is our responses to anger, on the other hand, that can be inappropriate or hurtful.
