Publisher's Summary

There’s no denying that life can be difficult. Simply being human means experiencing emotional and physical pain. None of us escapes dealing with pain, failure, and setbacks, but learning how to practice mindful self-compassion can be life-changing. It comes from the understanding that every human being suffers, that we all want to be happy, and that this commonality connects us with everyone else.

Over the last decade, there has been an international explosion of research on mindfulness. Contemplative practices are being integrated with science and psychology. Researchers are sharing information on the power of inner-directed compassion and its beneficial effects on mental well-being, growth, motivation, relationships, and physical health.

Join expert Laurie Cameron to discover tools - including meditations, exercises, journaling, and in-the-moment practices - that will help you evoke mindfulness and empathy in your everyday life in a way that it becomes your natural response - your new set of habits. As you adopt these practices, you’ll start to see a shift in how you work with stressful life events, as well as how you connect with the shared human experience of loss, challenge, and disappointment.

Not a book but a course

Not what I expected but I was engaged in what she was suggesting. Not a book but a self help course

Incredibly helpful

This felt like having a personal coach to support me in managing a chronic illness. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

These lessons are great

The story from which the lessons are derived leave a lot to be desired. She needed mindfulness because she missed her vacation flight ...

Unrelatable

People's individual struggles are hard for them. And I totally get that every problem can feel big when it's yours. But the author started by saying how much she travels internationally and then talks about having to miss this long African safari trip as a harrowing experience. And I'm sure it was for her and would be for any of us. It's just....I don't expect the huge hard thing of having to miss one of many 5 star trips, or the "smaller worries" of not having fruit for breakfast this morning and missing her workout are going to resonate with the general audience. I DNFed pretty quickly.
