| Abstract: | The article focuses on the book *Self-Care in Social Work* by Cox and Steiner, which addresses the importance of self-care for social workers to prevent and recover from burnout. The book is structured into three parts covering understanding stress and cultural competence, personal self-care strategies, and organizational approaches including supervision and workplace wellness. It emphasizes reflective exercises, cultural humility through contributions from diverse communities, and practical tools applicable across career stages. While the book assumes a certain level of professional knowledge that may challenge some readers, it is recommended as a valuable resource for social workers, educators, and supervisors seeking to integrate self-care into professional practice.
