Shelly Tygielski explores the profound benefits of self-care for mind, body, and spirit, revealing its potential to inspire collective action. In her blend of memoir, manifesto, and practical advice, Tygielski traces her journey from traditional upbringing to corporate America, where managing a chronic health issue led her to realize that true wellness involves community connection. Despite unexpected roles as a meditator, activist, and teacher, Tygielski asserts that personal transformation can catalyze broader societal change. Her book, Sit Down to Rise Up, invites readers to embrace self-care not just for individual growth but as a path to meaningful collective impact.
