The Self-Care Mindset

"This is a generous and profound book, a book worth sharing. It will stick with you for years to come." - Seth Godin, Author, The Practice

The world has changed, our lives have changed, and in recent years, our work has changed. Despite the disruption, our relationship and understanding of self-care have remained the same as we still see it as something fluffy or a perfect list of habits that we "do" alone outside of work to recover. But what if self-care wasn't something we "do"? What if self-care is a mindset that allows us to achieve peak performance, engagement, and growth without burning out and sacrificing our health and joy?

In The Self-Care Mindset, celebrated well-being and mindset expert Jeanette Bronée delivers an actionable and groundbreaking approach that challenges us to rethink self-care at work so we no longer have to choose between being healthy and being successful. With Jeanette's inclusive approach to self-care, you will receive the tools to protect and unlock our most important resource: our humanity. You'll learn how to better manage stress, break free from living in survival mode, and navigate FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) so you can harness change and grow by reclaiming agency and recovering what you care about.

You'll also:

• Discover proven frameworks and useful tools, like "Power Pausing," the "C.A.R.E. Framework," and "AAA"
• Find ways to move beyond the outdated concept of "work-life balance" to one of "work-life quality"
• Learn to build an ecosystem of relationships with yourself, with others, and with work itself.

Inclusion. Well-being. Care. This is the future of work. A future where well-being is the foundation for peak performance, engagement, and a culture where people belong and work better together by cultivating connection, communication, and collaboration.

A can't-miss resource for busy professionals and business leaders everywhere, The Self-Care Mindset will find its way into the hands of managers, executives, board members, and anyone else who struggles to be busy and find fulfillment and happiness in their working lives at the same time.
