$9 Therapy: Semi-Capitalist Solutions to Your Emotional Problems
Book Feature - $9 Therapy: Semi-Capitalist Solutions to Your Emotional Problems by Nick Greene and Megan Reid
HBL Note: Rebuilding after a fire is incredibly stressful. So this book could not have come at a better time. $9 Therapy: Semi-Capitalist Solutions to Your Emotional Problems is a witty guide to treating yourself to small luxuries without breaking the bank. One of my favorites is drinking wine out of a nice glass. Immediately following our house fire, we moved into a hotel for about three weeks until our insurance could find us a more long-term solution. One of the first things we did was go out and buy wine glasses, because we knew we didn’t want to drink wine out of water glasses for the next three weeks. It was a little something we could do to make a horrible situation a little bit better. Scroll down to read more about $9 Therapy.
From the publisher:
$9 Therapy proves that it’s possible to take self-care seriously without taking yourself too seriously.
Self-professed lifestyle gurus Nick Greene and Megan Reid know that sometimes it takes as little as spending nine dollars on an act of self-care to turn your day around. While working their first, low-paying jobs out of school, Nick and Meg learned to spend wisely—and fabulously—and firmly came to believe in the radical potential of simple pleasures. In $9 Therapy, they use their hard-won wisdom to show how small, inexpensive treats can elevate your adulting game: whether it’s mindfully repotting a plant to finally drinking from a decent wine glass (even if you can afford only one), to recipes you’ll actually want to cook, to design tips to make even the tiniest spaces look like Instagram-bait.
With enthusiasm and sass, (and featuring 30 colorful illustrations), $9 Therapy brings together the lifehacks and mini-upgrades that encourage you to make your life a little bit easier, a little bit less stressful, a little bit better, a little more loving toward yourself and the humans around you.
