Your go-to guide to love. Wherever you are on the relationship spectrum—married, dating, or single—there is always more to be learned about love. Each day brings a new opportunity to share in love, but if we don’t know how to best experience it, we aren’t making the most of this powerful emotion. “Love Doctor” and relationship expert Daphne Rose Kingma is here to help readers learn to love more passionately in their daily lives.

A warm and welcoming voice. Kingma doesn’t just know her stuff, she knows how to teach her stuff. In addition to her books selling prolifically over the world, she has been a frequent guest on Oprah. This national bestseller book for couples and individuals alike is full of Kingma’s trademark witty and poetic writing. Her words invite us to explore what we know about love and challenge us to push our definition and scope of love further.

Kingma reminds us that we are created for connection. To have a passionate marriage or a faithful relationship, we must work to understand how to experience love each day as fully as possible.

Make It a Priority to Indulge in Practices of Self-Care

I want you to close your eyes now and think about your ideal day. Focus on the sensations of this imagined blissful day. What are you doing? Where are you? How are you feeling? Now, open your eyes. How can you recreate that magic today?

Sometimes it can feel like we are sputtering out on fumes, being puppeted by invisible strings, or trudging through the mud of the mundane, so much so that we can start missing ourselves. What do you miss about yourself? Maybe it’s how you used to smile, react with a cool head, or enjoy your own company. We have so many responsibilities and roles to fill during the day, but when is it time to just be ourselves? Gain solace in the midst of chaos by reconnecting with yourself.

Discover what works for you. Self-care isn’t something that’s traditionally taught in schools, so from a young age, you were probably confused about how to care for your emotional well-being. Not to mention, when you become an adult, there’s not a guide on how to practice self-care either. In the past few years, there has been an explosion in the self-care movement, but with so much information out there, finding a place to start can be daunting for some. Here’s some good news: you can start right now with this book!

Self-care isn’t a formula, equation, or list, but rather a personal and ever-changing practice.

Embrace the joy of being you. The Joy of Self-Care: 250 DIY De-Stressors and Inspired Ideas for Comfort and Calm provides space for rest, catharsis, and healing. Put value back into your cultivation of joy and see how you transform.
