    About this audiobook

    ABC’s chief medical correspondent helps you ring in the New Year right with a resolution that’s actually doable: a year-long plan to improve your emotional and physical health—from giving up alcohol to doing a digital detox, but each for only one month.

    Dr. Jennifer Ashton is at the top of her field as an ob-gyn and news correspondent. But even at the top there’s still room to improve, and with The Self-Care Solution, she upends her life one month at a time, using her own experiences to help you improve your health and enhance your life.

    Dr. Ashton becomes both researcher and subject as she focuses on twelve separate challenges. Beginning with a new area of focus each month, she guides you through the struggles she faces, the benefits she experiences, and the science behind why each month’s challenge—giving up alcohol, doing more push-ups, adopting an earlier bedtime, limiting technology—can lead to better health.

    Month by month, Dr. Ashton tackles a different area of wellness with the hope that the lessons she learns and the improved health she experiences will motivate her (and you) to make each change permanent. Throughout, she offers easy-to-comprehend health information about the particular challenge to help you understand its benefits and to stick with it. Whether it’s adding cardio or learning how to meditate, Dr. Ashton makes these daily lifestyle choices and changes feel possible—and shows how beneficial a mindful lifestyle can be.

    Inspiring, practical, and informative, The Self-Care Solution teaches you how to recalibrate your life to enjoy a better, healthier year, one month at a time. Featuring guidance from top experts, entertaining case studies, easy-to-follow advice and tips, and Dr. Ashton’s observations and insights, this audiobook can help you achieve a better life balance and a more active and healthy lifestyle.

      Two stars probably sounds harsh, but while I enjoyed the idea of monthly challenges to help me take better care of myself and implemented many of them through the last year, it just wasn’t a book that I enjoyed reading. I would rush through reading each challenge, which was more like a blog post, and found myself skimming most of the time. The sections were full of so much repetition and unnecessary expansion on really simple ideas. I feel like this book would have better for me personally at half it’s length. Not that 20-30 pages is difficult to read each month, but I don’t think it should have felt like such a chore to get to the core and benefits of each challenge.

      I listened to this book on audio. I was not too familiar with Dr. Ashton as I am not a main stream news junkie and she is the go to doc for ABC News. I probably had seen her maybe on David Muirs' nightly. She basically lays out here a monthly focus on a particular health topic or issue which she resolved to address in her own life. From drinking to humor quite a few subjects are covered and she put together a strategy to change her behavior for the entire month. This was useful information to consider and apply in our own lives and improvements would certainly carry big benefits. I was surprised at how undisciplined the good doctor was in her own life. I would have thought a medical person would have things pretty much in control. Not so in many of these applications for her. So I guess another lesson learned is that doctors are just people too.
