Publisher's Synopsis
Welcome to your pocketbook guide to start the path of living your most fulfilling life! SELF-ISH is the new SELFLESS is a modern self care book centered on the thought "we cannot be our best for others if we are not our best for ourselves. What was once considered a societal negative- toned word, selfish, has since been renewed with this author's remarkable perspective of breaking down the word into two distinct parts: self and -ish. Self is one's connection to their thoughts, feelings and sensations. While -ish simply means being, or connected to. When we put these words together [self-ish] there's a whole new meaning to the word self-ish. A positive, encouraging embrace to give yourself permission to put yourself first. Without all the guilt.
