Self-Compassion

The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself

De: Kristin Neff

Narrado por: Xe Sands

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.

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.

Yes!!!

I can surely say, that this book changed my self image and self perception forever. I really liked that it provide strict borders between self compassion and miserablness/ dwelings; self appreciation between high ego self esteem. I liked this book so much, it really shows how to love and appreciate the most valuable person in you life, without ego ettachment and blowing your self esteem high to fall it down.. Extremly recommend for everyone, especially those who feel problems with cofidence, low self esteem and low level of self appreciation.
PS: I was really amazed by the story about your son, Kristin, I even cried (I do this extremly rarely) and thank you so much, for this book.

Something to come back to.

I really love this book. I'm looking forward to coming back listen to again pick up. I got a lot out of it the first time!

Excellent book

Very transformative book. Enjoyed listening to it and learned a lot about compassion. Highly recommend it.

Life Changing Experience

One of wonderful book on self help ever written which transforms your life for better. I have accepted myself as I am after reading this book and my days are not the same. My heart is filled with so much compassion and joy and I have started loving the challenges thrown at me.

Every American should read this book

I love how Neff goes into the reasons for and rewards of self-compassion. Western culture has a limited awareness for this concept and I'm no exception. Applying some of the practices in the book have helped me tremendously with my quality of life in just a few weeks.

Great book, mumbly reader?

I really enjoyed this book and definitely an to reread it at need some day. I think this book provides a valuable alternative to the school of self esteem and I find self compassion has been much more helpful for connecting to my feelings, acknowledging my humanity, and being kind to myself and others.
While the reader feels very sympathetic in her vocal qualities and tone to the mission of the book, I struggled a lot with adjusting my volume to hear her. I almost gave up on the book as a result. I found I really had to blast her to hear her at all because her voice was kinda mumbly somehow.

Perfect for everyone!

The voice was very nice to listen to. It was easy to listen for hours straight. The subject and chapters could keep my interest for a long time.

Helpful book with good exercises

I liked the book a lot. Very helpful.
The reading voice sounds bit robotic and reminds me to the snapped show narrator.

very good book

The book was a great intro to self-compassion. It opens up doors to learning the basics. I would like to read more and learn how self compassionate people deal with toxic relationships or difficult people.

Great insight

Loved this research based and personal story read by Kristen Neff. The narrator does a great job as well.
