The Compassionate Mind by Paul A. Gilbert

2.0

Had to give up. I was very interested in the content of this book and wanted to learn more about developing a compassionate mind. The author was recommended to me and I have the utmost respect for his credentials, knowledge and experience. However, I found the book a slog. It was very repetitive and I found it really hard to not out the specific points and theories that were trying to be addressed. Having felt like I had been at it for ages I found I was only half way through the book. When I start skimming and flicking through pages I know it’s probably time to give up. Maybe at some point I will come back and finish but for now, putting this book aside, is the most compassionate thing I can do for myself.
