Cultivate inner peace

Beyond simple surface-level relaxation, it delves into crucial, science-backed topics like nervous system regulation and emotional intelligence, ensuring you are healing the root cause of stress and burnout. For anyone who has struggled to find a sustainable self-care practice, you'll like this book. It provides the inspiration and actionable steps needed to cultivate inner peace and emotional resilience.

Surprisingly Refreshing and Realistic

What I loved most is how down-to-earth and judgment-free it felt. This wasn’t about bubble baths and luxury, it’s about boundaries, mindset shifts, and learning to pause before you hit empty. I work in healthcare and often neglect my own wellbeing, but this gave me permission and tools to actually do something about it. Even 5-minute practices made a difference. I’ve started doing small morning rituals and taking guilt-free breaks, which I used to feel bad about. It feels like someone reminding you that you matter, without the fluff.

My new stress buster bible

Okay, I'll admit it – "self-care" used to feel like another chore on my endless to-do list, and the guilt was real. But this audiobook? It’s been a revelation! It's absolutely packed with ideas, some so simple I wondered why I hadn't thought of them, and others that are inspiring me to try new things. I've already started incorporating a few, and I genuinely feel a little lighter, a little more in control.

Love the self assessment!

I tend to do a poor job of caring for myself. I tend to unintentionally push myself towards burnout and try to fit as much as I possibly can in any given day. In this book, there are hundreds of awesome tips and tricks to help establish peace, calm, and a sense of fulfillment and control in not really a lot of time a day. That’s a big one! Being able to do small things throughout the day that don’t take a lot of time that actually bring peace? Yeah, I’m pretty sure this book is going to stick out of my back pocket metaphorically speaking… super useful listen, love the narration, and I definitely would’ve bought this with my own money. Received this as a gift, but it’s certainly worth a purchase.

Making Some Positive Life Changes

I found this audio very helpful for making some positive changes in my life. I can absolutely use this info for being more intentional about self-care in my daily routines. I love the emphasis on caring for myself without guilt or being overwhelmed by a lot of “shoulds”. It seems like this audiobook was created just for me.

What’s really fantastic is the self-assessment quiz to identify what needs attention. Yay! A clear starting point! Now everything can fall into place so I’m no longer in survival mode because now I have the direction I was looking for to create an intentional lifestyle.

Narrated by Jimmy Alli, the audiobook delivers the material clearly, making the ideas easy to take in. His tone supports the book perfectly. Also, the included PDF is a great resource, as it contains the quiz, checklists, and journal prompts that transform the audiobook into the valuable guidance I'm using. Together, the narration and the companion materials make this a usable resource for anyone serious about self-care.

Incredibly Comprehensive

I haven’t ever read or listened to a self-care book that is as comprehensive as this one. It addresses self-care in multiple areas: physical, mental, emotional, intellectual, financial, spiritual, professional, recreational, environmental, and social self-care.

The author provides multiple self-assessments that will increase awareness of how well you are doing in any of those areas. She offers journal prompts, affirmations, and in-depth background information for each area. The information is complex, but her explanations are easy to comprehend.

By the time I finished listening to this book, I had a much more in-depth understanding of all the possibilities for self-care. It was really eye-opening.

So many simple self care ideas

The Ultimate Self-Care Handbook is a great resource for anyone whether over scheduled or on the verge of burnout. The ideas are valuable in that they are practical, easy to implement, and realistic for daily life. I really like the listen as I can do it anywhere and with the included PDF, it's easy to reference later. (I did enjoy the narrator's voice as well.) This book offers self help ideas for every situation, wherever you are in life. A good resource to re-balance my life.

More than bubble baths and candles

This isn’t the usual “treat yourself” list. Some suggestions are practical, some oddly specific, but a lot of them made me stop and rethink what rest actually looks like. It’s helpful when your brain feels too full to decide

Self-Care UNLOCKED
