Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
One of the greatest challenges women face is learning how to nurture themselves. The tendency, of course, is for women to put themselves last on the list-- taking care of everyone and everything else before they tend to their own emotional, physical or spiritual needs, according to author Alice D. Domar, Ph.D. Yet, ironically, when women put themselves last on the list, they find themselves stressed out, depleted of energy and unable to give their family members or jobs the full attention they need. As the director of the Mind/Body Centre for Women's Health at Harvard Medical School, Domar has developed a comprehensive, year-long programme to help women learn the crucial art of self-nurturing.

The book is divided into a year of seasonal themes, starting with winter, that represents a time of "primal self-care". Domar offers specific meditation and relaxation exercises as well as essays that help women contemplate their role in the family. In spring-time, Domar emphasises physical strengthening and healing through exercises, yoga and creating a more positive body image. Ultimately, Domar leads women into a discussion of spiritual strengthening--how to bring the soul into the workplace and why it's essential that women commit to a connection with God or one's unique spirituality. Fortunately, Domar has been teaching this path for years, which means her advice is tried and tested (she's somewhat famous for treating stress-reduction techniques to chronically infertile women and helping the vast majority to conceive). Her approach is inviting, funny, and (best of all) practical for women of all walks of life. --Gail Hudson --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Synopsis
Collects humorous and inspiring stories, easy-to-follow exercises, and meditations that enable readers to shift from personally destructive behaviors to self-nurturing ones. Reprint.

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific opportunity to examine your life constructively., 29 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This book takes the work of the authors about the mind/body connection in earlier books to the next level, by giving the reader a structured framework to examine their whole life. It tackles that often invisible question, of how is it that so many women put other people's needs first, and why just taking time out to do something that makes you feel good is okay for men but is seen as selfish if it's a woman.

Described as a year-long stress management course, the exercises in it are designed to help you to gain insight into your feelings about all aspects of your life, starting with your parents, working through self-image, friendships, parenting, career - everything!

For me personally, this book has enabled me to make connections that I would never have thought possible. I have been able to come to terms with many things in my childhood that I thought were irreconcilable, and I cannot thank Alice enough for that, it has made a huge difference to me already.

Any book with Alice Domar as co-author leaves the reader with an enormous feeling of empowerment, and this book is no exception. I can thoroughly recommend it for any woman who wakes up one day and wonders where she's gone!
