Publisher's Summary
A six-session training course for transforming your relationship with yourself.
Why does it feel so natural to be compassionate and kind to those we care about - yet so hard to treat ourselves the same way? "Our culture teaches us to use self-criticism for motivation and to build self-esteem by constantly measuring ourselves against everyone else," says Dr. Kristin Neff. "We need to re-learn the essential skill of being genuinely nurturing and supportive toward ourselves." With Self-Compassion Step by Step, this groundbreaking researcher reveals the clinically proven power of self-kindness, with practical training for cultivating an enduring and unshakable sense of your fundamental human worthiness.
Over the past decade, an overwhelming body of research has shown self-compassion to be a master key to good psychological and physical health. Whether you wish to reduce stress, develop healthy habits for exercise or diet, unlock your creativity, or even deal with serious conditions such as depression or addiction, a strong sense of self-compassion is an essential ingredient for success. Best of all, self-compassion is a skill that can be learned. Through six sessions of teaching, Dr. Neff offers guided meditations, experiential practices, and on-the-spot techniques to help you build a strong foundation of self-compassion in your daily life.
"We often become our own worst critic because we believe it's necessary to keep ourselves motivated," says Dr. Neff, "but in fact the research shows that healthy self-compassion increases our inner drive, our resilience to setbacks, and our ability to excel at work and in every aspect of life."
With Self-Compassion Step by Step, she presents a powerful training course that is both accessible and profoundly transformative - a practical approach for creating a life of greater happiness, fulfillment, and love.

Fantastic book, lovely to hear author reading.
Loved hearing Kristen talk in a calm and gentle tone about self-compassion. It was wonderful to hear her talking about her work and her life.
The content was easy to understand and the practices reinforced the theory. I had many moments of joy and resonance, as well as sadness when working through these practices. Highly recommended.

Great Author - Limited content
Kristin Neff is an amazing researcher/ storyteller and I've bought her hard copy book for both myself and my family.
although I like how Kristin tells a story, I didn't feel there was enough substance in this audio book. I was not expecting the majority of the book to be meditations which I could not do (I listen when working or commuting).
I didn't finish the book due to lack of content.
I would love if Kristin records her other books and maybe gives clear chapters for the meditations or excersises.

Mouth noises!
Very poor production. You can hear the author moving her lips getting ready to speak during the silent parts of the exercises. Not at all conducive to beginner mediation. This would be so easy to edit out.
Content is great so I'm going to try to persist.

This book is truly a valuable tool in learning a practice of self compassion. Neff’s voice is soothing and enjoyable. The entire book became a meditation, with support from Neff’s personal stories, writing exercises and challenged by my own mind. I feel like I have found an essential practice and Neff delivers it so beautifully.

So nice
I’ve been working with a psychologist and decided to go through this book in support of trying to connect more and feel more and not be so numb. This was really wonderful. The hands-on-heart practice was so warming and uplifting. I would highly recommend this series of 6 sessions. You really do have to do everything she says. Every action and every phrase means something. I journaled while listening and have some good notes to review and build from.
Just one word of warning if you have issues with squishy mouth-noises. This sort of thing usually makes me quite aggressive and turned off. I chose to treat this audiobook like a combined ASMR spoken word and somehow it made the experience all the more human. Kristin has a nice, caring voice and is good to listen to.

Take time to be present with this book
I personally found it difficult to listen at first because it is a book that needs the reader to be present ie not one I would listen to while driving . The practical exercises are useful. The information is solid.
