"Written by minimalism expert and celebrated author Courtney Carver, Gentle is the "don't do it all" self-help book you need to live with less stress and more ease, less overwhelm and more joy by uncovering the Gentle You. Grounded in self-compassion and a fierce commitment to less, becoming the Gentle You isn't about taking the easy road. It's a practice of real self-care that, over time, will soothe your nervous system and strengthen your relationships. Organized into three parts-Rest, Less, and Rise-30 challenges and simple practices will help readers radically and (yes) gently shift their pace, headspace, and heart. It's time to find strength in your softness, fierceness in your flexibility, and to finally rise-not by pushing through but by connecting with the Gentle You, standing in your light and honoring the person you are"-- Provided by publisher
