"Invites readers to examine their habits and practices in order to better prioritize themselves and their happiness. With an understanding of the difficulties that educators face in prioritizing themselves, [the author] provides readers with the skills necessary to shift their thinking and turn self-care into an ongoing, lifelong practice. As such, this book takes readers through the thirty-six weeks of the school year, divided across four sections or seasons--the season of sacrifice, disillusionment, finding balance, and finishing strong. Each of the thirty-six weeks of the school year focuses on a single self-care method, placed there to help the reader best prioritize themselves in that time of the year. Moreover, the book takes these strategies a step further and encourages readers to utilize these tools more generally as a means of bettering their life outside of school. Through this book, readers will find strategies and tools that they will find indispensable in their journey towards becoming their best selves"--Provided by publisher.

As the model for Jack Crawford in The Silence of the Lambs, Douglas has confronted, interviewed, and studied scores of serial killers and assassins, including Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, and Ed Gein, who dressed himself in his victims' peeled skin. Using his uncanny ability to become both predator and prey, Douglas examines each crime scene, reliving both the killer's and the victim's actions in his mind, creating their profiles, describing their habits, and predicting their next moves."--Page [4] of cover.
