"52 Weeks is possibly the most important book I've ever read! It is a wake-up call, and I feel completely awakened." --Bif Naked, recording artist & author "A practical guide to safeguarding the precious resource that is you. Essential reading for caregivers, activists and other caring humans." --Ann Douglas, author of Navigating the Messy Middle: A Fiercely Honest and Wildly Encouraging Guide for Midlife Women "At long last, here is the guide to self-care and self-healing that healers, activists, and social changemakers have been waiting for. Unpretentious, insightful, and deeply aware of the systemic conditions that influence well-being, psychotherapist and author Farzana Doctor offers down-to-earth advice about personal growth, burnout recovery, and relationship health alongside highly relatable anecdotes from her personal experience. Self-help skeptics and wellness aficionados alike will find grounded, practical wisdom in this succinct, yet powerful workbook divided into a series of profoundly helpful themes and exercises. 52 Weeks to a Sweeter Life for Caregivers, Activists and Helping Professionals should be required reading for anyone who wants to change the world --because as the author reminds us, changing the world requires practicing care for ourselves." --Kai Cheng Thom, MSW, MSc, Certified Professional Life Coach and author of Falling Back in Love With Being Human "In a world that often disempowers us, 52 Weeks offers a spirited and seamless approach to both self-care and community care which is both refreshing and radical.

Step by step Farzana shows us how to reclaim care and our power." --Cathy Crowe, long-time street nurse and social justice/housing advocate.
