Publisher's summary

The go-to guide for self-care - an A to Z, mental health-centric handbook from asking for help to catching some zzz’s.

Self-care is everywhere - but sound bites on this trendy subject tend to focus more on face masks and bubble baths than on its key objective: mental health. Now, top health writer Anna Borges is here to fix that in The More or Less Definitive Guide to Self-Care.

Formerly at BuzzFeed, Borges helped popularize the self-care movement in the first place, and her book distills the “self-care internet” into an A to Z list with over two hundred entries - from soul-searching prompts to simple pick-me-ups. Listeners can tailor their own routines by choosing among Borges’s strategies, which cover four distinctive realms of self-care: physical, mental, social, and spiritual.

Drawing on real-world experience (her own and others’) as well as expert advice, Borges empowers listeners to take charge of their well-being. This guide is a one-stop shop for mind, body, and soul.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Very Engaging Book

I lived it because they broke complex subjects into solvable steps and I walked away feeling inspired to tackle difficult task. I've might have avoided items in the past, where I feel encouraged to challenge them now.

A great book!

I am so happy I opted to listen. I must admit, I was a nervous giving this book any of my time, seeing that, “time is of the essence”. I needed a pick me up between credits, and this was it!

A wonderful book, simplifying all other self help books. It is easy to listen and gives you a lot of simple and direct information. I highly recommend!

Good, but...

There’s a disconnect between format and medium. The book is set up encyclopedically. While the information is good and the narration well done, the nature of the set-up means jumping from one topic to another disconnectedly, and the audio medium makes “see also” references pretty pointless. I gave up and ordered a copy of the printed book.

understanding, real, and inclusive

some of this might be things you've already heard but at the same time sometimes you need reminded. others are ideas ive maybe sensed but never had verbalized and understood. covers a range of issues and also addresses privilege, the reality of mental illness, and the fact that sometimes we know what to do we just can't muster the strength to do it.

The first book I wanted to purchase a physical cop

I really enjoyed this book. It's a list but reads as a book very well. I actually want to go buy a physical copy now, too. Funny since I picked it bc it was free!

Great easy and realistic resource

I would recommend this to anyone looking for an easy, realistic, and uncomplicated resource for managing anxiety and stress. It's a quick guide however not a replacement foe actual therapy or medical care.
