Description

We live in a world that glorifies and glamorizes whoever has the most money and whoever shines the most brightly. However, is being a top dog synonymous with happiness? The evidence suggests no. If so, the richest among us would be immune to humiliation, grief, depression, and anxiousness. These emotions are significant parts of the human condition regardless of age, economic status, religion, or background. Sometimes, the higher we climb that corporate ladder, the more we fear the potential fall. When we are on the bottom rung, we can appreciate the ground below, which houses our roots. How does one go from being an aerospace engineer to the limited physical mobility of a nine-month year baby without falling into a deep depression? Sometimes it takes a lifestyle change. Janine was motivated to write this book after her father survived a 100-foot hang gliding fall in 1984 and while she served as his primary caregiver until he died in 2021 at the age of 90. She credits the gentle philosophy they enjoyed together for his uplifted mood while recovering. The author is a huge proponent of gentle holistic and hospice care for everyone to replace the harsh treatment many of us typically receive in the "real" world. This book is inspired by the author's father, who used the self-care tips found inside this book throughout his recovery after a traumatic brain injury that left him physically disabled, but if you, the reader, are uplifted by its gentle philosophy, the author believes the pain the family endured will have been worth the struggle.
