A Book that Loves You / An Adventure in Self-Compassion

An illustrated hardcover from Irene Smit and Astrid van der Hulst, the editors of Flow, filled with short essays, sayings, and small hands-on surprises.

The book is built around the idea of being kinder to yourself, especially when life is in transition and you're tempted to be your own harshest critic. It moves through daily rituals, accepting setbacks, enjoying your own company, and easing up on an overfull schedule, and it tucks in a sticker puzzle, a pullout "My Own User Manual" map, and a DIY paper flower along the way.

Keep it on your nightstand and open it to any page whenever you need to be reminded that you're allowed to go easy on yourself.
