I recently finished this book and it will go down as one of the most important reads of my life. Dr. Neff takes on the senselessness of the self-critical mind many of us deal with on a regular basis. She does this through rational thought, specific examples, and offers incredible resources and exercises to help develop a sense of self compassion.
If you have or are currently dealing with anxiety, negative thoughts, intrusive thoughts, body pain, a critical view of self, perfectionism, stress, or are simply in a hard time of life, this book will be an incredible resource.
