About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A follow-up from the best-selling Self-Compassion, this book shows why it is more urgent than ever that women acknowledge their areas of suffering, celebrate their inner voice and challenge the male-orientated status quo.

The book will draw on Kristin Neff's own life story, as well as the stories of other women, to show how listeners can harness self-compassion and gain the strength, clarity and courage needed to be resilient and stand up for themselves in our male-dominated society.

She'll explore core issues such as gender differences, why women aren't more compassionate to themselves and what women do for love. With expert research, concrete tools and easy-to-follow mindfulness practices, this book will empower women to let go of self-criticism, draw boundaries and become fierce.

Kristen Neff you Beautiful incredible soul and Vitally important Research Scientist. Thank you for sharing what you notice, what you research and your truly valuable knowledge. Very much love, peace and gratitude. I highly recommend ( to all genders not just women.) X

One of the most important books I have ever read

This book has so much wisdom in it. If you have trouble asserting boundaries, if you have guilt from looking after your own needs, if you berate yourself for your shortcomings, have a listen.

The narration is intelligent, warm and my only criticism is that it’s a touch slow - the only time I’ve ever listened on a faster speed! - but five stars nonetheless.

Essential listening

Building on her previous work this includes interesting information on gender discrimination research and her own experiences.

An excellent book for women

As a therapist, I see so much lack of self compasion with clients. This book, has given me so much insight, not only to help others, but giving myself that self compassion that I sorely lacked.

It's a beautiful book and so well written that I was genuinely moved by the writing at times, and was disappointed when it came to the end.

Highly recommend for all

Very helpful and beautiful book

Self-compassion, both in its gentle and fierce form, is essential learning material for many of us today. A beautiful book and a must-read I highly recommend, especially to those who find it hard to take up their space, stand their ground, and who are kinder to others than to themselves.

Excellent book, very relevant.

This audiobook has given me so much. We all need to show ourselves self compassion and this book will help you to achieve it. I’ve recommended it to so many friends, and they are loving it too. I will listen to this again and again because there are so many lessons to take from this book. I might have to buy it in paperback and get some post it notes.

Essential reading for all women

I consider myself a veteran of the genre and this is the most comprehensively useful book on self development I have ever encountered. It speaks to humanity and life at every level. Worthy work indeed.

The last word in self help

Such a disappointment after the first brilliant book on self compassion. I chose this as my next read believing it was for women. It’s not. It’s full of woke nonsense proclaiming that men can be women. Such a shame when her first book was so good. If you are a man identifying as a woman then this book is for you. For actual women, you are best avoiding this book.

Terrible

Written for women and not my cup of tea. Too woke for a Neanderthal like me.

Avoid if male
