THE TOP TEN BESTSELLER: A BEAUTIFUL AND ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO BRINGING SELF-CARE INTO YOUR LIFE.

'Unusually practical, non-patronising and authentic. Think Marie Kondo for the mind' Sunday Times

'A thoughtful street map to self-care that will also look beautiful on your shelf.' Independent

'Sane, smart and deeply wise.' Sienna Miller

'I want to give this book to everyone I know!' Kate Moss

'Do yourself a kindness, and buy this book.' Jools Oliver

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.

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