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.

Neff is relatable and her personal stories really allow the reader to exhale and admit some of their own patterns. I often would replay a section and am convinced that self compassion must be developed purposefully over self esteem.

This book came at a very needed time for me. I was burned out, feeling incredibly anxious and rather depressed despite my life actually improving by all accounts. Feelings of shame and inadequacy had become more common than any other emotion. I’d read many other books that also helped but this book provided the missing process of actually taking the time to care for myself and accept, love and support myself as I would do and have done for others I love. I feel I’m on a new path now, one that will lead to greater happiness and fulfillment without feelings of superiority or grandeur, just things as they are but with so much more acceptance and appreciation.
Thanks so much for writing this book, it has helped me immeasurably ❤️

One of the best books I have read in years. Kristin has a talent of intervening her personal story, the examples of scientific research and the words of spiritual wisdom (both Zen Buddhism and Christianity) into a single narrative. She does it in a very organic way, encouraging the audience to listen and to engage. Wonderful book! Love it.
