Gentle: Rest More, Stress Less, and Live the Life You Actually Want
Gentle: Rest More, Stress Less, and Live the Life You Actually Want | Courtney Carver
5 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
From an expert on simplicity and minimalism, a collection of 30 practices to overcome chronic overwhelm, cultivate self-compassion, and find permission to do less-perfect for readers of Rest is Resistance and Wintering. Being Gentle is about being grounded in self-compassion and a fierce commitment to less--becoming the Gentle You isn't about taking the easy road. Organized into three parts--Rest, Less, and Rise--Courtney Carver's Gentle provides simple challenges and practices that will help readers radically and gently shift their pace, headspace, and heart. Becoming the Gentle You is a practice of real self-care that, over time, will soothe your nervous system and strengthen your relationships. Gentle is the "don't do it all" self-help book that promotes less stress and more joy by standing in your light and honoring the person you are.

Very insightful and encouraged me to be more mindful of my self care, burnout, and resting.

Enjoying the cuddles with the puppy while catching up on some gentle reading. The thunder scares him but this book is also overdue to the library.

I‘m definitely not a self help reader but this didn‘t feel like that. It felt beautiful and relaxing. I‘m also not one to reread books but I will definitely be doing so with this. Highest praise coming from me.

Actually read quite a lot this month, even with work dominating my days. "Gentle" was my favorite read this month. I just find that a very timely read. I also added "The Will of the Many" as a wild card. That is not my type of genre normally, but I really got into it and will be reading the next in the series that comes our later this month. #ReadingBracket2025 @CSeydel

This week-long vacation is all about slowing down, resting, and being gentle with myself. What better way to do that then by reading this book and hanging out with my fur babies, Dresden and Raith.
