      Czego możemy nauczyć się dzięki byciu rodzicem i samoakceptacji? Jaką moc mają dobre słowa kierowane do samego siebie? Autorka bestsellerowej serii dla dzieci „Ja. Uważność i emocje”, specjalistka od jogi i uważności, tym razem wraca z poruszającą i wzmacniającą książką dla dorosłych czytelników i czytelniczek. Przez dziesięciolecia Susan Verde zmagała się ze swoim wewnętrznym krytykiem, głosem, który mówił jej, że nie jest wystarczająca. Joga, medytacja i praktyki uważności stały się jej sposobem na wyciszenie tego głosu. Jednak kiedy została mamą, wewnętrzny krytyk stał się głośniejszy niż kiedykolwiek. Macierzyństwo okazało się ostatecznym sprawdzianem jej praktyki. Z humorem, sercem i rozbrajającą wrażliwością Verde dzieli się historiami ze swojego życia jako matki, córki, człowieka i osoby uzależnionej od kawy. Ujawnia swoje błędy i największe chwile radości – od wspierania jednego ze swoich dzieci w walce o zdrowie psychiczne przez utratę ojca i odnowienie więzi z matką do ogromnej dumy, ale i bólu, związanego z przygotowaniami do wysłania trójki nastolatków na studia i zmierzenia się z pustym gniazdem. W książkę Jedno miłe słowo autorka wplata mantry wspierające rozmowę ze sobą z czułością i łagodnością. Uczy nas – i siebie - słuchać głosu, który mówi nam, że jesteśmy wystarczający. I tego, jak sprawić, aby słowa pełne miłości stały się naszą historią.

      "For readers of Anne Lamott and Glennon Doyle, comes an original essay collection from #1 New York Times bestselling author and mindfulness expert Susan Verde. Say One Kind Thing emphasizes the power of positive self-talk and the lessons we learn from motherhood and gaining self-acceptance. Susan Verde knows the power of positive self-talk. For decades, Verde has struggled with her inner critic, a voice inside telling her that she was not enough. Yoga, meditation, and mindfulness practices became her way of challenging and quieting this voice. However, the moment she became a parent, the voice became louder than ever. How would she manage to parent three little ones when she could not speak to herself with compassion, kindness, and love? Motherhood would prove to be the ultimate test of her practice. With humor, heart, and disarming vulnerability, Verde shares stories from her life as a parent, a person, and a coffee addict on a journey toward self-acceptance. She reveals her missteps and her greatest moments of joy-from supporting one of her children through a mental health struggle, and another through gender affirmation; to losing her father and reconnecting with her mother; to the immense pain and pride of preparing to send her three teenagers off to college and facing an empty nest. Woven throughout the book are mantras reminding readers to speak to themselves with compassion, with the ultimate goal of living, loving, and parenting from a place of freedom and authenticity. Verde's message is that we must all be the authors of our own inner dictionaries, filling them with words of self-love. We must listen to the voice that is telling us that we are worthy. And we must let these words become our story"-- Provided by publisher

      Embrace individuality and being your authentic self in this companion to New York Times bestsellers I Am Human and I Am Love! Sometimes I stand out in a crowd. Sometimes I am not seen at all, and I feel alone. I start to ask myself, why can't I blend in? Fit the mold? But when I stop and look, I see nothing in this world is exactly the same. Sometimes we hide who we really are to conform to the way we think we are supposed to be in the world. Sometimes we compare ourselves to others and feel we don't fit in. But when we realize we are something to be celebrated, and we proudly live out loud as our true selves, we can make our unique mark on the world--and share our joy! From the New York Times bestselling team behind the I Am series comes a bighearted celebration of individuality, of being comfortable in our own skin, respecting others for who they are, living authentically, and loving ourselves. For anyone who's ever felt like too much or not enough, I Am Me is an affirming reminder that difference is what makes life beautiful--and that each of us matters, just as we are.
