Summary

Self-care. What does that even mean? I called the expert: Cheryl Richardson. She's written several New York Times bestsellers and I owe her credit for helping me cultivate new thinking whenever I needed it. When I was most scared, I'd call Cheryl. And she'd say, "Your best thinking got you here, (to the worst situation of your life, to your complete bottom), so you probably need the thinking of somebody else." She's always been right.    Show Notes: "Waking Up in Winter: In Search of What Really Matters at Midlife" by Cheryl Richardson "The Art of Extreme Self Care: Transform Your Life One Month at a Time" by Cheryl Richardson "Take Time for Your Life: A Personal Coach's 7-Step Program for Creating the Life You Want" by Cheryl Richardson "Life Makeovers: 52 Practical & Inspiring Ways to Improve Your Life One Week at a Time" by Cheryl Richardson "Choose Yourself" by James Altucher "The Power of No" by James Altucher Hay House Publishing - Cheryl's first publisher "You Can Heal Your Life" by Louise Hay Launchpad Venture Group - where Cheryl does her angel investing "Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples" by Harville Hendrix "The Secret of the Ages" by Robert Collier   I write about all my podcasts!
