self-help techniques

"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.

David Heatley had an unquestionably troubled and eccentric childhood: father a sexually repressed alcoholic, mother an overworked compulsive overeater.Then David's parents enter the world of 12-step programs and find a sense of support and community. It seems to help. David, meanwhile, grows up struggling with his own troublesome sexual urges and seeking some way to make sense of it all. Eventually he starts attending meetings too. Alcoholics Anonymous. Narcotics Anonymous. Overeaters Anonymous. Debtors Anonymous. Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous. More and more meetings. Meetings for issues he doesn't have. With stark, sharply drawn art and unflinching honesty, Heatley explores the strange and touching relationships he develops, and the truths about himself and his family he is forced to confront while "working" an ever-increasing number of programs. The result is a complicated, unsettling, and hilarious journey--of far more than 12 steps.
