About this listen

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

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

I loved this book and already want to listen to it again! I learned a lot about self compassion and ways to be more self compassionate. I enjoyed hearing about the different research studies as well as personal experiences and stories of friends experiences. I highly recommend!

I loved this book and the excercies in it. I decided to listen 2 times. 1 for just absorbing the the information, the other more of a study and making the excercies. I would definitely listen again when needed. She has a soothing voice, however my ADHD brain had to listen on 1,25 speed. Otherwise nothing bad.

Highly recommend!

This is a well thought out science based approach to self compassion. I find this an excellent book on the subject and have enjoyed listening to it and the practices it encourages you to do. I wish there was a link to the practices so I could see it written. But apart from that it’s awesome

Beautiful. Helpful. Highly recommend. Need more words to complete review word requirement – which is a strange rule. Done!

This book was recommended by a friend when I was facing one of the most serious emotional crises of my life and I was close to a breakdown.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this book (audiobook version, with its wonderful narrator) pulled me back from the brink and has set me firmly on the path to recovery, in conjunction with good friends.

For as long as I can remember, I have been my own harshest critic. Not only has this book made me realise that this was what I have been doing, and the harm this has caused not just to myself, but also to those around me, but it also provides real and powerful tools for turning this around.

I devoured the book in the space of less than a week, but already I feel so much better, so much more positive.

I’m extremely cautious about calling any self-help book “life changing”, but in this instance, the epithet is fully deserved. I cannot recommend this book highly enough – and now I have the paperback too for more leisurely consideration and doing the numerous exercises it contains.

Thank you, Kristin and Katherine.

An astonishing and life-changing book

This is a really important subject and I like that Kristin writes with authenticity and her own experiences which brings to life the principles she writes about. She also brings in evidence and research to highlight what works. I highly recommend this book.

Very useful and enjoyable book.

This challenged some of my beliefs and practice. Supporting self appreciation and compassion - supports our wider community way of being too.

Worth your time

I recommend reading it. Her recommendations are good and the stories are inspiring. Especially liked her own insights about her autistic son.

Really good
