SELF CARE IS CHURCH FOR NON-BELIEVERS

A little (but life-changing) book.

Self-care is church for non-believers

From the creators of the podcast Happiness for Cynics comes a little, life changing, book of happiness.

Self-Care is Church For Non-Believers explains how a decline in church attendance and an increase in overall scepticism mean that many of us no longer prioritise self-care activities.

Yet, we need to prioritise strong self-care habits more than ever. Around the world, we’re seeing a rise in loneliness, anxiety, stress and depression it’s a Change Storm!

Quite simply, we have to do a better job of looking after ourselves, and self-care activities like being social, service to others, and practicing gratitude are proven to help.

As the Dalai Lama said, “I believe the very purpose of our life is to seek happiness. Whether one believes in religion or not, whether one believes in that religion or this religion, we are all seeking something better in life. So, I think, the very motion of our life is towards happiness…”

If you’ve stumbled across our book Self-Care is Church For Non-Believers, you’re looking for more… more time, more satisfaction, more contentment. Or maybe you’re looking for less… less stress, less pressure, less noise, less anxiety.

Let’s be clear. This is not a book about religion, but this is a life changing book. In their funny, and light-hearted way, let Marie and Pete break down some misconceptions, discuss the science, and show you the path to a happier and more fulfilling life.
