We often see social media influencers posting about bubble baths, the perfect tea, or the best skin care routine. \n\nBut a new book argues that self-care isn’t simply about focusing on ourselves. Rather, it’s a crucial part of how we show up for other people. And losing sight of that can lead to guilt or strained relationships with loved ones.   \n\nAuthor Jordan Quaglia is a professor of psychology at Naropa University in Boulder and he wrote From Self-Care to We-Care: The New Science of Mindful Boundaries and Caring from an Undivided Heart. \n\nJordan spoke with In the NoCo’s Brad Turner about the book and how he hopes it nudges readers away from the more selfish or even materialistic versions of self-care. \n\nJordan Quaglia will speak about his book at the Boulder Bookstore on May 29 at 6:30 p.m.  \nSign up for the In The NoCo newsletter: Visit KUNC.org\nQuestions?
