About this Event
Jordan Quaglia will speak about and sign his new book, From Self-Care to We-Care: The New Science of Mindful Boundaries and Caring from an Undivided Heart, on Thursday, May 29th at 6:30pm, at Boulder Bookstore. He will be in conversation with Clarissa Cigrand for this special event.
About the Book:
Too many of us are familiar with the burnout that can come from overextending ourselves for others. Self-care is often promoted as the solution to this imbalance, but there are growing concerns that an overemphasis on self-care is exacerbating interpersonal challenges, fraying the fabric of our communities, and diminishing our responsiveness to broader social issues. In a world where time can feel increasingly scarce, we find ourselves in a dilemma: should we prioritize ourselves or others? Yet as psychologist and compassion scientist Jordan Quaglia demonstrates, this choice is based on a false dichotomy. The emerging science and practice of we-care reframes the very concept of care as a social force that includes both self and other.
Through personal stories, guided inquiries, practical social exercises, and insights from cutting-edge neuroscience, Quaglia offers a framework and toolset designed to help you find a more balanced way to express your innate sense of compassion. This holistic approach sparks transformative changes across your health, relationships, and workâuplifting yourself and others while supporting a stronger, more connected society for us all.
