Self-Care for the Real World

Join the gentle revolution and bring self-care into your life with this beautiful and essential guide

Unusually practical, non-patronising and authentic. Think Marie Kondo for the mind, if you will, or the Hemsleys for the soul

The book, which is clean and minimalist in its design, is broken down into easily absorbed, instructive heads . . . [it's] unpatronising, friendly yet not overfamiliar . . . a thoughtful street map to self-care that will also look beautiful on your shelf.

How to upgrade your mornings, by Kate Moss and Sienna Miller’s wellness gurus.

This little gem totally hits the sweet spot between gorgeous (but not oppressively girly) design, some neat psychological tricks and a handful of refreshing recipes and meal ideas

As beautiful to look at as it is practical, it is a compendium of inspiration and tips on how to incorporate self-care into contemporary life

The book is written with so much love. I feel like Nadia and Katia are holding my hand through it, but not judging me in any way

I want to give this book to everyone I know!

A manual for everyone about real health from the inside out.

Self-Care for the Real World is as insightful and inspiring as its authors.

I’ve always valued Nadia’s advice as a teacher and a friend, and eating Katia’s delicious food - this book is the perfect combination of both.

Do yourself a kindness, and buy this book.

Taking loving care of yourself is the greatest gift... I love this book for teaching more ways how.

Wellness pioneers Nadia Narain and Katia Narain Phillips have spent decades helping others to feel their best. But it took them a bit longer to learn to care for themselves. Here they share the small, achievable steps they picked up on a lifetime’s journey towards self-care, and how you can apply them to your life, wherever you are. 
 
Right now, you may be deep in the waves of life, being tossed around. Learning self-care is like building your own life boat, plank by plank. Once you’ve got your boat, you’ll still be rocked by the same waves, but you’ll have a feeling of safety, and a stability that means you can pick other people up on your way.

A glimmer often feels like a little moment of magic, but it’s actually a physical response that is rooted in your body’s nervous system, with the power to improve your mood, mental health and overall well-being. A glimmer is the opposite of a trigger - instead of putting your system on high alert, it reassures you that all is safe and well. 
 
Glimmers are a beautiful invitation to the present moment, inviting us to be more aware of ourselves, our environment and the connections we share with those around us. They offer cues of safety and ease to the nervous system, which help us build resilience to better navigate life's ups and downs. 
 
In Glimmers, sisters Nadia and Katia, authors of the international bestseller Self-Care for the Real World, bring together practices inspired by their training and experiences of nervous system healing. Their gentle guidance will help you tune into the glimmers that are all around you, every day.
