In this unique book, psychotherapist David Richo offers fifty-two promises we can make to ourselves that will help us navigate the ups and downs of daily living in a wise, compassionate, and psychologically healthy way. Taken together these commitments, along with the author's brief reflections on them, offer guidance on how to: * develop genuine kindness toward yourself and others * find freedom from fear * maintain healthy boundaries in relationships * develop greater honesty and awareness Designed for daily or weekly inspiration and contemplation, Everyday Commitments also features practical exercises--including journaling, contemplation, and guided meditations--to foster inward growth and lasting positive change.
