<p>“What a treasure trove of scientifically informed self-care strategies! It’s clear that this wonderful text is written by someone well versed in the challenges of being a professional educator. Prof Narelle Lemon provides practical, tried and tested strategies that are "non-negotiables" for anyone working in education or other helping professions.”</p><p><b>Dr Suzy Green</b>, <i>D Psych (Clin) MAPS, Founder and CEO The Positivity Institute, Sydney, Australia</i></p><p>“As a time famished high school teacher who moonlights as a teacher educator, I rushed to print out the manuscripts 9 chapters. I can’t wait to curl up with the bound edition once sealed. So much love poured into the text - a GREAT reference! I hope to engage my high school students in some of the reflective practices. I especially love Dr. Lemon’s candid approach to what felt like a fireside chat with a best friend!”</p><p><b>Dr Linda Noble</b>, <i>Ph.D., Adjunct Assistant Professor, School of Education, Brooklyn College, City University of New York, USA</i></p><p>“Informed by positive psychology, "The How of Self-Care for Teachers: Building your Toolbox for Wellbeing" offers educators research-based strategies to reset and reinvigorate individual | collective wellbeing. The book is a gentle, timely, reminder that habits of self-care require our constant attention and cultivation in micro moments as well as sustained practice.”</p><p><b>Dr Malgorzata Powietrzynska</b>, <i>Adjunct Assistant Professor, School of Education, Brooklyn College, City University of New York, USA</i></p><p>“Be gentle on yourself is such a powerful message that resonates with me as a longtime NZ educator. Being everything to everybody is challenging. Looking back I realise how stress is insidious in that you don’t realise how much you’ve been subconsciously absorbing it, often by putting self-care to the side. Narelle draws on her own experiences in an unflinching and proactive manner to encourage us all to take care of our own wellbeing. A must read for potential educators in preparation courses as well as those in the field. This is a generous book which will keep on giving to us all.”</p><p><b>Associate Professor Joanna Higgins</b>, <i>Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand</i></p>
