Guilford Publications The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook: A Proven Way to Accept Yourself, Build Inner Strength, and Thrive

Description

Are you kinder to others than you are to yourself? More than a thousand research studies show the benefits of being a supportive friend to yourself, especially in times of need. This science-based workbook offers a step-by-step approach to breaking free of harsh self-judgments and impossible standards in order to cultivate emotional well-being. In a convenient large-size format, the book is based on the authors' groundbreaking eight-week Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) program, which has helped tens of thousands of people worldwide. It is packed with guided meditations (with audio downloads); informal practices to do anytime, anywhere; exercises; and vivid stories of people using the techniques to address relationship stress, weight and body image issues, health concerns, anxiety, and other common problems. The seeds of self-compassion already lie within you--learn how you can uncover this powerful inner resource and transform your life. See also Teaching the Mindful Self-Compassion Program, by Christopher Germer and Kristin Neff, a thorough overview of conducting MSC (for professionals), and The Mindful Path to Self-Compassion, by Christopher Germer, which delves into mindful self-compassion and shares moving stories of how it can change lives. Review: Misleading delivery time and condition of the book is not perfect - Waited for more than three weeks for the book, way beyond the estimated arrival time when I ordered the book. Luckily that I am not in a hurry to get the book. The cover of the book is 1-2 mm shorter than the content, looks like a defective item. Probably that's why it's slightly cheaper than the rests. Would appreciate if I'm aware about what I'm getting and paying for. Read the intro chapter and it's engaging. Looking forward to complete the book. Review: Amazing - Every word in there is so useful!
