Do I Feel Better Yet?: Questionable Attempts at Self-Care and Existing in General - Thryft
Do I Feel Better Yet?: Questionable Attempts at Self-Care and Existing in General - Thryft

Laugh-out-loud exploration of questionable self-care trends.

This book is for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by the constant flood of self-help advice. Madeleine Trebenski takes a humorous and honest approach as she delves into the world of popular self-care practices, exposing the absurdity and unattainable promises they make. Through witty essays, she offers readers a sense of camaraderie, making them feel less alone in their search for genuine well-being. So if you're tired of the endless suggestions and looking for a good laugh, this book is for you. It's a refreshing reminder that self-care doesn't always come in a fancy package but rather through genuine connection and self-acceptance.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

If you've ever dared to express dissatisfaction with the state of your life, you've inevitably received a variety of helpful "Have you tried meditation? Exercise? A cult? An exercise cult?" In Do I Feel Better Yet? , Madeleine Trebenski explores more than 45 so-called solutions suggested to her in the name of self-care. In a playful and at times sardonic chronicle of the elusive promises of multistep skin-care routines, gratitude journaling, scented candles, and more, Trebenski perfectly captures what it's like to live in a time when homemade kombucha and weighted blankets are said to single-handedly solve all our problems. These essays will make you laugh, make you feel less alone, and maybe make you feel better—even if just for a little while.
