Self Help Book - ONE MINUTE FO MYSELF, Author Spencer Johnson MD

While published in 1985, the message of self care is a timeless one. In our modern age we tend to think of this concept in terms of the analogy of an individual travelling in an airplane flight and oxygen masks begin to drop. The point being made is to be sure and get your own apparatus on first - so that you can be in a position to assist someone else. This slim volume is like a tonic for those who neglect themselves and forget their own importance. While not mentioned directly in this book, I love the modern quotation "Be yourself, everyone else is taken." So true. Each of us is a unique individual and we need to consider this fact and learn to nurture ourselves so as to be in a place where we have life fuel to enjoy being who we are and enough inner fuel to share with others around us. So often when people depart this world, their friends and family declare that the deceased was the kind of person who lit up a room just by being in it. What a lovely sense of purpose to aspire to!
