About this listen

From an expert on simplicity and minimalism, a collection of 30 practices to overcome chronic overwhelm, cultivate self-compassion, and find permission to do less–perfect for listeners of Rest is Resistance and Wintering.

Being Gentle is about being grounded in self-compassion and a fierce commitment to less—becoming the Gentle You isn’t about taking the easy road. Organized into three parts—Rest, Less, and Rise—Courtney Carver's Gentle provides simple challenges and practices that will help listeners radically and gently shift their pace, headspace, and heart.

Becoming the Gentle You is a practice of real self-care that, over time, will soothe your nervous system and strengthen your relationships.

Gentle is the “don’t do it all” self-help book that promotes less stress and more joy by standing in your light and honoring the person you are.

Critic reviews

"If you want to live more intentionally and feel liberated in your life, Gentle can help guide you there. This is a beautiful call in for us all."—Alexandra Elle, New York Times Bestselling Author of How We Heal
"Gentle will shift your assumptions about what it takes to live a ‘successful’ life. Rejecting the old rules of hustle culture, this book is an invitation into real self-care that goes way beyond face masks and bubble baths. The simple practices laid out in each chapter are the permission slip we all need to stop measuring ourselves by our accomplishments, instead trusting ourselves and embracing a rhythm that frees us to actually enjoy our lives.”—Camille Styles, Editor-in-Chief of camillestyles.com
"Courtney's honest and relatable storytelling, combined with practical steps and heartfelt wisdom, makes Gentle a must-read for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the demands of modern life. Her message of prioritizing rest, letting go of unnecessary burdens, and rising with renewed purpose is not only empowering but also incredibly achievable. This book is a treasure for those looking to reclaim their time, energy, and peace.”—Dawn Madsen, The Minimal Mom
