Jennifer Louden, author of The Woman’s Comfort Book, should be the poster girl for our “Sleep Better, Live Better” campaign—if only the Internet had posters. Jennifer sums up her world philosophy in a Twitter-approved 44 characters by saying:

“Self-love + world-love = will make you whole.”

So succinct and totally to-the-point, we think this easy equation is great. Jen’s less concise version of her outlook, on the other hand…is also great. Jen writes on her web site’s “Who I Am” page:

“Ever feel restless – even though your life is so so busy? Ever feel that, with the talents and the compassion you have, you could be doing more for the world? Ever wish you could find a better way to both slow down and ramp up, so your life is both one that you savor and one that better serves the world? Then you have come to the perfect place. I’m so curious about the sweet spot where our longing to be happy meets our desire to make a difference I’m devoting a year to exploring it.”

Jen invites you to explore along with her, to discover your passions and yourself in order to—you guessed it—live better.

Words to Live By

In her best-selling book, The Woman’s Comfort Book, Jennifer offers encouragement and advice on how to derive peace and pleasure from daily rituals by focusing on self-care and self-kindness.

Her suggestions range from the routine (herbal baths, journaling) to the whimsical (blow bubbles when stuck in traffic), each tackling different areas of a woman’s busy busy life. When you are asked to do it all, Jennifer seems to ponder, how do you fit it all in? Why, by taking care of yourself first.
