Self-Nurture : Learning to Care for Youself as Effectively as You Care forEveryone Else

Summary: Should have been a magazine article
Review: Dr. Alice Domar's book on Self-Nurturing is a must-read for both men and women! To say that this book is simply a woman's book and has no application to men is like saying we really don't want to understand the lives and experiences of over 50% of our population. Self care is what stress management and Mind/Body Medicine are all about, and this book sheds light and understanding on these important issues. Recommend this book to women AND men everywhere! . . .

Summary: A great system for nurturing ourselves
Review: I have both the book and the audio tapes, and I use them both often. I was one of those serious workaholics who ruined my health with long work days, lots of business travel, bad nutrition, no exercise and no downtime. Alice Domar offers simple solutions for nurturing your body, mind and soul back to a state of balance. We can all hustle and bustle ourselves into an early grave, or we can take a few minutes each day to relax and enjoy life. This books shows you how to relax into it - and by it I mean your life, your job, your relationship, losing weight - everything that we take so seriously in life. Once you start honoring yourself with self love, soul nurturing and quiet time for yourself, you will find that the world around you will change. You will no longer feel obligated to rush through life to get to the next task or appointment. While everything in this book and the audio tape set may not work for you, I am sure there are a few suggestions that will make a difference in your life. Ms. Domar is not trying to offer miracles in your life. She is just trying to make sure you take the initiative to have a long, healthy and happy life.

Summary: another woman's comfort book
Review: Just found out that an audio version, "talking book" will be available for this book in Spring of 2000. Will be excellent listening for commuters. I believe this book and tape will help many people as it has helped me.

Summary: Outstanding!
Review: This is an amazing book. Lots of women that I know (myself included) have trouble taking time for themselves, yet they put in incredible amounts of time helping their female friends. This book helps you deal with that problem. I was also lucky enough to hear Alice Domar when she was on National Public Radio a few weeks ago. I found the interview fascinating. Dr. Domar talked about how you need to take time for yourself; so many of us feel guilty when we give ourselves time to relax. She has helped me realize that doing nice things for yourself is something that women need to do more of, and that we shouldn't feel guilty for doing it. I HIGHLY recommend this book to any woman.
