Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself by Kristin Neff
4.0
Good. useful. Many important ideas and good points and exercises. Many things I had already thought (that were very helpful to my growth) were in this book. Good thoughts about self esteem/ego and comparison also. I don't like that she thinks it possible to "over feel" your feelings and exaggerate your pain. personally, that's a bad vibe. also very surprised and upset by HEAVY ABLEISM SPECIFIC TO AUTISM. if you sign up to have a child you sign up to have a disabled child ok. and its borderline hilarious that one of her first thoughts was that autistics can't get PhDs. It would be funny if it wasn't horrible. I reccomend reading this and skiping all of the sections containing her personal experience as they only made the book worse in my opinion. This review is remaining unedited.
