"What a treasure trove of scientifically informed self-care strategies! It's clear that this wonderful text is written by someone well versed in the challenges of being a professional educator. Prof Narelle Lemon provides practical, tried and tested strategies that are "non-negotiables" for anyone working in education or other helping professions."

"As a time famished high school teacher who moonlights as a teacher educator, I rushed to print out the manuscripts 9 chapters. I can't wait to curl up with the bound edition once sealed. So much love poured into the text - a GREAT reference! I hope to engage my high school students in some of the reflective practices. I especially love Dr. Lemon's candid approach to what felt like a fireside chat with a best friend!"

"Informed by positive psychology, "The How of Self-Care for Teachers: Building your Toolbox for Wellbeing" offers educators research-based strategies to reset and reinvigorate individual | collective wellbeing. The book is a gentle, timely, reminder that habits of self-care require our constant attention and cultivation in micro moments as well as sustained practice."

Dr Malgorzata Powietrzynska, Adjunct Assistant Professor, School of Education, Brooklyn College, City University of New York, USA

"Be gentle on yourself is such a powerful message that resonates with me as a longtime NZ educator. Being everything to everybody is challenging. Looking back I realise how stress is insidious in that you don't realise how much you've been subconsciously absorbing it, often by putting self-care to the side. Narelle draws on her own experiences in an unflinching and proactive manner to encourage us all to take care of our own wellbeing. A must read for potential educators in preparation courses as well as those in the field. This is a generous book which will keep on giving to us all."
