You Are Not Selfish

" You Are Not Selfish". This book is a healing manifesto. You Are Not Selfish is a compassionate, clear-eyed manifesto for every woman who has been taught that love, worth, or goodness must be earned through self-denial. Meant to speak to all women but especially to Black women, whose strength has too often been praised while their exhaustion has been ignored.With the insight of a licensed clinical social worker and the intimacy of a sister-friend, Ameshia Arthur invites you to question the roles you've been handed and reclaim the life you actually want. This book holds space for grief, rage, softness, clarity, and joy as you unlearn the lies of self-sacrifice and remember your right to care for yourself.Through a blend of storytelling, cultural critique, and therapeutic wisdom, You Are Not Selfish is not another guide to doing more or fixing yourself. It's an invitation to stop performing peace, stop explaining your boundaries, and stop waiting for permission to live aligned, whole, and free.This is not a self-help book that asks you to fix yourself. It's a self-trust book that helps you remember: you were never broken.
