Synopsis:
When we are anxious, sad, angry, or lonely we often hear a self-critical voice telling us to buck up and not feel sorry for ourself and ruin everything. What would happen if, instead of fighting difficult emotions, we accepted them? Over his decades of experience as a therapist and mindfulness meditation practitioner, Dr.Germer has learned a paradoxical lesson: we all want to avoid pain, but letting it in - and responding compassionately to our own imperfections, without judgment or self-blame - are essential steps on the path to healing. This wise and eloquent book illuminates the power of self-compassion and offers creative, scientifically grounded strategies for putting it into action. Learn how to master the techniques for living more fully in the present moment - especially when hard-to-bear emotions arise - and for being kind to yourself when you need it the most.
"Self-compassion is the ground of all emotional healing, and Dr Germer has produced an invaluable guide. Written with great clarity, psychological wisdom, and warmth, this book will serve anyone seeking practical and powerful tools that free the heart." Tara Brach.
"In this important book, Christopher Germer illuminates the myriad synergies between mindfulness and compassion. He offers skillful and effective ways of making sure that we are inviting ourselves to bathe in and benefit from the kind heart of awareness itself, and from the actions that follow from such a radical and sane embrace." Jon Kabat-Zinn.
"Loving-kindness and compassion are the basis for wise, powerful, sometimes gentle, and sometimes fierce actions that can really make a difference - in our own lives and those of others. In the following pages you will find a scientific review, an educational manual, and a practical step-by-step guide to developing greater loving-kindness and self-compassion every day." Sharon Salzberg.
"A moment of self-compassion can change your entire day. A string of such moments can change the course of your life." Christopher Germer. |
