Kristin Neff, PhD, is a professor in human development whose 10 years of research form the basis of her timely and highly readable 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 and audio downloads, readers learn the three core components that will help replace negative and destructive measures of self-worth and success with a kinder and non-judgemental approach, in order to bring about profound life change and deeper happiness.

Self-Compassion recognises that we all have weaknesses and limitations, but by accepting this, we can discover new ways to achieve improved self-confidence, 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.
