The book sounds interesting. Although I don't agree with the view of boundaries (the yes/no/negotiate) sounds like more work than necessary (and more stress-inducing) where there are clear-cut areas in your life that need solid boundaries (e.g. crazymakers!) in order for you to feel better.

I appreciated this alot having been, and sometimes am again, a person with a strong inner dictator whose attempts at even the commodified self-care retreats, products, etc never lasted in their effects. So yes, yes, yes, to self-compassion and its deeper meaning. I appreciated all the principles and their internal focus, not to just reach for the outer "magic bullet" or commodity or societal value, especially as a woman and especially in the US, but to be with oneself and how one thinks and feels and act from that place, that feels like real self care.
