Über diesen Titel
A personal, positive and essential audiobook for the many carers among us.
We are all likely - at some point in our lives - to face the prospect of caring for another, whether it's a parent, child or partner. It is estimated that there are seven million people in the UK caring for loved ones. And yet these are the unpaid, unsung people whose number is rising all the time.
In Tender: The Imperfect Art of Caring, Penny Wincer combines her own experiences as a carer with the experiences of others to offer real and transformative tools and insights for navigating a situation that many of us are either facing or will face at some time.
Penny Wincer has twice been a carer: first to her mother and now as a single parent to her autistic son. Tender shows how looking after oneself is a fundamental part of caring for another and describes the qualities that we can look to cultivate in ourselves through what may otherwise feel to be an exhausting task.
Weaving her lived experience with research into resilience, perfectionism and self-compassion, Penny combines the stories of other carers alongside those who receive support - offering an often surprising and hopeful perspective.

Kritikerstimmen
"As someone who was cared for by a family member during five years of physical and mental illness, neither me nor my mother had any idea of what a complex experience CARING really is. Penny's brilliant book is an invaluable tool for any invisible carers or anyone who wants to learn how to better support their loved ones. Penny is a true angel on this earth and we ALL have many, many things to learn from her beautiful, wise, charming, thoughtful words." (Scarlett Curtis, Sunday Times best-selling author)
"Profoundly important" (Clover Stroud)
