Synopsis:
The Compassionate Mind is the culmination of a lifetime of highly respected clinical and research work by a leading authority on psychology and depression, who has been influenced by Buddhist teachings on compassion.
Gilbert is the founder of the Compassionate Mind Foundation, which encourages the scientific understanding and application of compassion. Here, he outlines the latest findings about the value of compassion and how it works, and takes readers through basic mind training exercises to enhance the capacity for, and use of, compassion. He describes studies demonstrating that developing kindness and compassion for self and others can help in calming us down: as a mother's care and love soothes a baby's distress, so we can learn to calm our own distressing emotions and actually increase feelings of contentment and well-being.
"As one of Britain's most insightful psychologists Gilbert illuminates the power of compassion in our lives.
"Paul Gilbert is one of the most brilliant scientists studying compassion today. In this wonderful book, his makes his theories very accessible and down-to-earth." Prof.Kristin Neff.
"A timely book for a time when competiveness, materialism and narcissism have failed us. This book provides timeless wisdom that you can use every day. It will make a wonderful gift for someone you care for - especially, if you give it to yourself." Robert L.Leahy. |
