About this listen

Kristin Neff, PhD is a professor in human development whose 10 years of research forms the basis of her timely and highly listenable book. Self Compassion offers a powerful solution for combating the current malaise of depression, anxiety and self criticism that comes with living in a pressured and competitive culture.

Through tried and tested exercises, listeners learn the three core components that will help replace negative and destructive measures of self worth and success with a kinder and nonjudgmental approach in order to bring about profound life change and deeper happiness.

Self Compassion recognises that we all have weaknesses and limitations, but in accepting this we can discover new ways to achieve improved self confidence and contentment and reach our highest potential. Simply, easily and compassionately.

Kristin Neff's expert and practical advice offers a completely new set of personal development tools that will benefit everyone.

loved it

I loved this book and already want to listen to it again! I learned a lot about self compassion and ways to be more self compassionate. I enjoyed hearing about the different research studies as well as personal experiences and stories of friends experiences. I highly recommend!

The practice of self compassion

This is a well thought out science based approach to self compassion. I find this an excellent book on the subject and have enjoyed listening to it and the practices it encourages you to do. I wish there was a link to the practices so I could see it written. But apart from that it’s awesome

Honest, helpful and no BS book

The past 3 years of my life I have been reading a lot of so-called self-help books that are on the market. I came into this completely new style with a bag full of sarcasm, more with the purpose of convincing myself that a lot of self-help books are total BS. And a lot of them are. But few of them are not. And this is one of the good ones.
What amazed me is the bravery of the author of putting her vulnerable self out there for the world to see. Personal stories that make most of us frown upon and judge. This level of honesty and vulnerability makes me want to listen and find out more.
The book opened my eyes even more into the depths of who I am (who we are as humans), took me on a journey I was not ready to take and came out of it with pockets of knowledge.
I even followed some of the exercises given in the book (which I rarely to nearly never do).

Self-compassion is indeed the answer to a lot of frustrations, desperations, blockages, sadnesses…it’s constant work and constant self-improvement, and it requires constant showing up.
I especially recommend this book to people going through depression, anxiety, people who have constant feelings of inadequacy, low self-esteem, but also to selfish and narcissistic personalities.

Worth your time

This challenged some of my beliefs and practice. Supporting self appreciation and compassion - supports our wider community way of being too.

Really good

I recommend reading it. Her recommendations are good and the stories are inspiring. Especially liked her own insights about her autistic son.
