This was one of my best reads of 2023—not that I read that many books since it turned out to be a challenging year. Primarily oriented at care workers, but a useful read for people who find themselves being a caretaker friend as well.

Many things I appreciated about this book. The thoughtful perspective on being present and deliberate to handle exposure to suffering. The diagrams on the inside covers. The funny illustrations bringing humor to a tough topic. The profiles giving first-person examples of the principles. The “try this” suggestions. Highly recommend if you are near people who are suffering and find yourself struggling or distancing.
