"When His Holiness the Dalai Lama proclaimed that 'my religion is kindness,' he wasn't kidding. In this important book, Christopher Germer illuminates the myriad synergies between mindfulness and compassion.

Synopsis
Illuminates the nature of self-compassion and offers steps for incorporating it into daily life. This book is suitable for readers new to mindfulness or those who want to take their practice to the next level., The psychological benefits of mindfulness are well established. Yet for people who struggle with difficult emotions like anxiety, guilt, anger, loneliness, sadness, or low self-esteem, mindfulness practices can be enhanced by adding a simple yet powerful ingredient: self-compassion. Without it, we all too often respond to emotional suffering with self-criticism, shame, or defensiveness -- tough-to-break habits that only make suffering worse. This wise, eloquent, and practical book illuminates the nature of self-compassion and offers easy-to-follow, scientifically grounded steps for incorporating it into daily life. Vivid examples and innovative exercises and techniques make this an ideal resource for readers new to mindfulness or those who want to take their practice to the next level., "Buck up." "Stop feeling sorry for yourself." "Don't ruin everything." When you are anxious, sad, angry, or lonely, do you hear this self-critical voice? What would happen if, instead of fighting difficult emotions, we accepted them? Over his decades of experience as a therapist and mindfulness meditation practitioner, Dr. Christopher Germer has learned a paradoxical lesson: We all want to avoid pain, but letting it in--and responding compassionately to our own imperfections, without judgment or self-blame--are essential steps on the path to healing. This wise and eloquent book illuminates the power of self-compassion and offers creative, scientifically grounded strategies for putting it into action. Free audio downloads of the meditation exercises are available at the author's website: www.chrisgermer.com. See also The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook, by Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer, which provides step-by-step guidance for building mindful self-compassion skills and applying them to specific life challenges, and Teaching the Mindful Self-Compassion Program, by Christopher Germer and Kristin Neff (for professionals).

- 0***d (62)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufHaven't seen this one in ages. I remember the 90's indie craze very well. There are some tender moments to be found in this drama with comedic and down-to-Earth feel to it, like the scene were William Hurt breaks down after spotting his late wife in a series of stills that captures one single spot in Brooklyn, or Harvey Kietel giving a monologue on how he ended up with the camera to do his "life's work." The end credits is an exact representation of what went into the viewer's mind.

- 0***d (62)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufHaven't seen this one in ages. I remember the 90's indie craze very well. There are some tender moments to be found in this drama with comedic and down-to-Earth feel to it, like the scene were William Hurt breaks down after spotting his late wife in a series of stills that captures one single spot in Brooklyn, or Harvey Kietel giving a monologue on how he ended up with the camera to do his "life's work." The end credits is an exact representation of what went into the viewer's mind.
