From the Back Cover
The relentless pursuit of high self-esteem has become a virtual religion. Our ultracompetitive culture tells us we need to be constantly above average to feel good about ourselves, but there is always someone more attractive, successful, or intelligent than we are. And even when we do manage to grab hold of high self-esteem for a brief moment, we can't seem to keep it. Our sense of self-worth goes up and down like a Ping-Pong ball, rising and falling in lockstep with our latest success or failure.Fortunately, there is an alternative to self-esteem that many experts believe is a better and more effective path to happiness: self-compassion. The research of Dr. Kristin Neff and other leading psychologists indicates that people who are compassionate toward their failings and imperfections experience greater well-being than those who repeatedly judge themselves. This book powerfully demonstrates why it's so important to be self-compassionate and give yourself the same caring support you'd give to a good friend.Using solid empirical research, personal stories, practical exercises, and humor, Dr. Neff—the world's foremost expert on self-compassion—explains how to heal destructive emotional patterns so that you can be healthier, happier, and more effective.

I began reading Self-Compassion two days ago and I am astonished. Astounded. I cannot believe that in all my years of extensive, detailed therapy not one of my excellent therapists ever recommended these exercises.I am Bipolar with Histrionic tendencies and have struggled all my life with my self-image and an eating disorder. Guilt has always been my default emotion. Shame. All the things that one stuffs down with food. Or alcohol. Or shopping. Or any reckless, impulsive behavior meant to stuff feelings down so we DON'T FEEL them. And when I don't feel my feelings, I PUNISH myself. This has been going on all my life.This book is changing my entire outlook, without confusing me or SCARING me to death. This is because it is so straightforward and common sense. I feel Empowered. And almost Brave.This does not read as a medical/scientific text and I tend to be highly skeptical about these sorts of books. However, with this book I find few, if any, intellectual objections to the manner in which it is written or in how the studies and source material are not cited until the "notes" at the end. (This seems to be increasingly common and I often find it hard to stick with a book when the author is not forthcoming with sources within the text itself.)But in this case, I am not bothered the lack of in-text acknowledgement of source material because there's really not anything to OBJECT TO or call into question within the text. All of the advice is sound. I've not read anything (so far) that is harmful or suspect.The exercises are so simple and the advice will set your brain to sparking, esp. if you have a spiritual bent as do I.I am eager to work my way through the rest of the book and am pacing myself so that I don't do too much at once. I will check back in when I am finished.Buy this book and see if it helps you as much as it is helping me.
At age 66 and just retired, I was not sure I could learn much from a book that would truly impact my life. Happily, I was wrong. Kristen Neff has presented a clear and compelling description of self-compassion. It affirms much of my life experience up to now. From her book, I have learned new ways of thinking and being. I am hereby resetting my sails and, with renewed enthusiasm, setting off into the future, and the final chapters in my life. I am more open to what is, grateful for my strengths, able to savor life's pleasures a little more. I see myself connected with all other humans facing challenges that inevitably come along the way. I imagine I will return to this book many times to tap back into Neff's simple, fundamentally compassionate and encouraging words.
This book had a very transformative effect on my life. Although I had trouble with my anxiety, as an analytical overthinking kind of person, I needed a very valid reason to convince myself out of my suffering and anxiety. This book along with a therapist has replaced so much of my suffering with both Joy and compassion.It made such a difference on me that I gave a talk to 85 young adults on the subject to help them see what I saw from this book. Thanks Kristen.Hook em! (UT 07)
I am an avid reader of self-help and spiritual books. I have read nearly all of the popular and best-sellers. Authors include: John Bradshaw, Scot Peck, Marianne Williamson, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Tony Robbins--- to name a few. I am definitely one who is searching and of ALL the hundreds of books I have read, lectures and sermons I have taken in, NONE have touched on the subject of self compassion the way Neff did. What stuck me the most was how she boldly illustrates how the self-esteem movement has failed and why. I think that many of the other authors and gurus still use the language of self esteem and thus their messages of compassion was shrouded, which is why I believe that this book is a MUST READ for anyone who is trapped in the vicious cycle of self-hatred, self-loathing, self-criticism and anything else that we do to ourselves that is less than kind. I am actually taking the time to do the exercises in the book with a journal and my life has CHANGED. This book produced results!!! I am not one to write a review unless it is something like really amazing, and I hope for the day when I can meet Neff in person and honor her for her contribution to my spiritual healing and journey. You will not be disappointed.
This book has helped me so much! The author gives jaw dropping honest examples that any one else would have sugar coated. I could relate to her on sooooo many levels it was crazy. As a perfectionist and extreme self criticizer this book opened my eyes to the benefits of being kind to myself. What I love most about this book is that it did not feel like a "self-help" book but it definitely has helped me tremendously. I found myself easily practicing some of the aspects of this book and it genuinely helping me. One of the best reads of the year for me!
