Synopsis :

Kristin Neff, Ph.D., says that it’s time to “stop beating yourself up and leave insecurity behind.” Self-Compassion: Stop Beating Yourself Up and Leave Insecurity Behind offers expert advice on how to limit self-criticism and offset its negative effects, enabling you to achieve your highest potential and a more contented, fulfilled life through the power of self-compassion.

More and more, psychologists are turning away from an emphasis on self-esteem and moving toward self-compassion in the treatment of their patients—and Dr. Neff’s extraordinary book offers exercises and action plans for dealing with every emotionally debilitating struggle, be it parenting, weight loss, or any of the numerous trials of everyday living.  

Based on her groundbreaking research, Dr. Neff presents a guide to navigating life’s challenges and fostering emotional resilience:

• An Alternative to Self-Esteem: Discover why moving from self-esteem to self-compassion is the key to counteracting the negative effects of self-criticism and leaving insecurity behind.
• Mindfulness Practices: Learn simple exercises and action plans for dealing with emotionally debilitating struggles, from parenting and weight loss to the numerous trials of everyday living.
• The Power of Self-Kindness: Understand how to stop beating yourself up and actively comfort yourself in moments of pain, fostering positive mind-states like happiness and optimism.
• Tools for Personal Growth: Build the confidence needed to achieve your highest potential by embracing the full human experience, difficult as it is, and finally letting go of unrealistic expectations.
