Dr. Neff, leading a world expert in the topic of self -suffering, explains how to correct destructive emotional patterns in order to be healthier, happier and more effective.
In our culture, the exactingness for ourselves is encouraged. We strive to be better, more attractive, stronger than those around us, make a lot of efforts for this, but in fact there is always someone more intelligent, successful, attractive than you. And when this is found, the internal critic wakes up, self -esteem falls, and with it a feeling of happiness and satisfaction is dull.
However, there is an alternative to self -esteem - self -suffering. According to the results of the study by Dr. Christine Neff, people who are sympathetic to themselves and their shortcomings are happier than those who are inclined to condemn themselves. In addition, self -suffering gives us a sense of safety and self -esteem, which is very important, especially in those days when self -esteem falls. Self -suffering implies three components (awareness, kindness to oneself and perception of oneself as part of the community).
From the book you will learn why it is important to compass yourself (and not just love yourself!) And to support yourself the same way you would support a good friend. The book has practical exercises and stories, thanks to which you will learn how to be truly kind to yourself
