COMING BACK TO YOURSELF: A guide to reclaiming your energy, your boundaries, and your life Paperback – March 11, 2026

You didn't lose yourself all at once. It happened gradually — one extra yes, one skipped meal, one more night lying awake with everyone else's problems running through your head. You became the reliable one, the strong one, the one who doesn't need much. And somewhere along the way, you disappeared from your own life.Coming Back to Yourself is a calm, evidence-based guide for anyone who has quietly lost themselves in the demands of daily life — the people-pleasers, the chronic overgivers, the ones who say yes before checking in with themselves.Across twenty grounded chapters, Lorenz Parisot explores why we abandon ourselves through burnout, guilt about rest, blurred boundaries, and compulsive helping — and offers a practical, compassionate way back. You'll discover why stress isn't the real problem (your reaction to it is), how sleep reveals the boundaries you actually keep, what it takes to say no without guilt or explanation, and how to redesign your daily life so you can show up for others without disappearing in the process.Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and deeply relatable stories, this book reframes self-care not as indulgence but as the foundation for everything else: steadier relationships, clearer thinking, and a life that actually feels like yours.This is not a book that shouts at you to try harder. It is a quiet, honest conversation — like sitting with a trusted friend who sees what you've been carrying and gently says: you are allowed to put some of it down. Read more
