One of the easiest ways is to ask, "What would I say to a close friend I cared about in this situation?" - and then take those words to heart for ourselves.

The simple act of putting your hands gently over your heart and taking a moment to sigh shouldn't be underestimated.

Meh. I could have done without the personal anecdotes and the examples, many of which are incredibly dated and jarring. Not high on my list of recommendations, if only because there is less emphasis on evidence-based practices and more generalized recommendations the basis of which is varied but therefore inconsistent.

Read this for book club. The concept of Self-Compassion is lovely, the research is fascinating, but the practice is SO HARD.

I always joke that I wish I could eat books and have the stories live inside me, but this book is truly one I want to enter into every cell and fiber and corner of my being. I have always been so hard on myself, and now is no exception. This book is so wonderful. It has research, practical activities, and the author's own story woven through to present a convincing case for the absolute necessity of self-compassion for every person in this world. I want to live and breathe this book and use the power of love (not fear) to change my habits and work towards treating myself with the same kindness and mudita that I give freely to others.
