Meghan: This book was recommended by a friend. The book explores elements of self compassion and how to incorporate those healthy behaviours into your life. I would recommend it to anyone who has a tendency to beat themselves up for their shortcomings.

HelenHelen: I’m half way through this book and I’ve highlighted so many pieces of wisdom & learning that I’ll be returning to again & again as part of my healing journey! For me personally, the timing of this book is key - I’m working with a therapist regarding childhood trauma & doing other growth work. This book alongside that is perfect for my healing journey. I would recommend this book to anyone who is their own worst critic and is open to being kinder to themselves and accepting to be human is to be flawed. Thank you Kristen Neff.

Lindsey H.: This book is absolutely incredible. It is not a fast read solely because it has so much depth. I appreciate the suggestions for practices that Neff provides. I often use this in sessions with client, utilize the practices for myself, and highly recommend it for others.

OsamUK77: イギリスのセルフコンパッションに比べると、使えるものはなんでも使おう、というアプローチが散見されます。いちばん響くのは、輝かしいキャリアのネフ先生も、子どもの頃からさまざまに苦労してきたのだなということでした。苦しむあなたは孤独じゃない、というセルフコンパッションのエッセンスともシンクロします。

Stuart Barth: This is a gem of a book and one I desperately needed to read. I am so grateful to Dr. Neff for having the courage to be as honest and vulnerable as she was in order to live and then write about her own self compassion so it could be shared with others.

In my efforts to be the best I could be in so many areas of my life, I drove myself to attempt perfection mercilessly. A lot of that was inherited from my father and made worse by a demanding and unempathetic marriage partner.

Just in the first being kind to myself exercise, I began to experience the freedom and power of self compassion. It enabled me to see and accept that we all share many of the same experiences, make the same mistakes and even feel the same way about ourselves, which is why we need self compassion to begin with. I was no longer an island of failure, but a normal person, making normal mistakes and having normal feelings. Having worked with an excellent therapist for the last five years, I was able to add to my work on being present and mindful in and through the reality of what is.

The final chapter of Self Appreciation was the icing on the cake! Learning not only to accept myself when things...
