Coming into this guide for practicing self-compassion I largely examined it from a professional perspective as I come from a therapeutic background. This book acts as a guide that we may use to practice self-compassion using techniques that anyone can learn. This text draws on resources from a variety of therapeutic techniques including meditation, mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment therapy. If you are unfamiliar with these resources that is okay as the author explains the impact of these resources if practiced daily. All she asks is that you provide a notebook where you may write down your thoughts and use them to recount what you provided. Thus providing yourself proof that you are practicing what it asks and are internalizing it yourself. I shall recommend this in my personal and professional capacity. Overall I give this book five out of five stars on good reads.

   This is a nice workbook to help teach us how to better care for ourselves. There are meditative steps to help focus & calm the mind, plus work to do to help you get in touch with your feelings & as a result find more compassion for others. I enjoyed learning a few things such as, journaling helps to increase ones ability to learn. I used to journal everyday, but life, getting busier & busier, to the point of being drained (I run my own eco-farm & it's exhausting) with no time for things like jou This is a nice workbook to help teach us how to better care for ourselves.

I enjoyed learning a few things such as, journaling helps to increase ones ability to learn. I used to journal everyday, but life, getting busier & busier, to the point of being drained (I run my own eco-farm & it's exhausting) with no time for things like journaling. Now I am putting forth more effort in setting aside some time to simply journal & reflect. I have not accomplished this daily (perhaps I will in the winter when I'm a little less busy) but the fact that I'm doing it at all, is a huge step forward. Other points in the book are that offering forgiveness doesn't mean you are weak. You don't even have to tell a person you forgive them. You can let it go within yourself. You don't even have to speak to the person ever again. You simply have to let yourself move on. This book is meant to be gone over step by step with your own notebook as you take however much time is necessary to complete each task. These tasks are designed to get us to better understand, accept, & recognize our own emotions & reactions. This book is divided up into sections: Compassion for Your Feelings- Self-compassion & your emotions, self-compassion & your body, your self-compassion plan Compassion for Your Thoughts- Thoughts vs. reality, getting unstuck from thoughts, your self-compassion plan Compassion for Your Actions- The inner critic & your actions, moving beyond the inner critic, your self-compassion plan The Compassionate Life- Practicing compassion for others, the road ahead The hardest part about this book is taking out the time needed to complete the various tasks. It's nice to know that we can be both compassionate & strong. Overall, this is a wonderful book for anyone wanting improve their mental health for life.

This falls in the genre of personal growth and self help. Are you nice to yourself? Take a few minutes to think about this. Inside the pages of this book you will find techniques and strategies that we can learn to start showing ourselves a little bit of compassion. What you will discover is how to have compassion for your feelings, thoughts, your actions and how to have a compassionate life and how to treat others the same way. But how will one accomplish this? As with any self help book there are loads of questions to think on and for this particular book breathing exercises to do. The questions are deep and there is no quick answer to these if you want to get to the goal of being nice to yourself. One must be honest through this process to get to the core of why you are not being nice versus being nice to yourself. I did enjoy the book. With the way the world is now it is so easy to forget to be nice to one’s self. The book is pretty straight forward. I received this book for free from Callisto Publishing in exchange for an honest review

   Simple and clear with table examples and prompts to ask yourself questions. I liked this for myself or for any human, but I also really liked this as educator. It’s a great way to familiarize educators with this concept, practice on their own, and be more fluent with the concept of self compassion so that they can model it and foster it within the classroom. I’ve seen some great educators model how they struggle with something and are compassionate with themselves and it resonated with students Simple and clear with table examples and prompts to ask yourself questions.

I’ve seen some great educators model how they struggle with something and are compassionate with themselves and it resonated with students and with me as an observer, and it sets the tone for the classroom. I like that this doesn’t have a ton of fluff. It is grounded in breathing exercises so that’s something to note when considering talking about it with students etc. (Some of my students hear the word ‘mindfulness’ and check out). Anyways, glad it exists and thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review! Always here for reminders / tips on how we can all be nicer to ourselves!

   It was ok. I read this book in hopes for new ideas and Information. But most of the things mentioned in this book, is available for free on different blogs. Still though. For someone who hasn’t researched the basics, this book might be really helpful

    I wish I had ordered a real copy of this book instead of an e-book. I definitely would be gotten more out of it if I could've held it in my lap and journaled through the exercises.

    It's more of a work book than a reading. A large portion of the content are exercises; and I think the main point is doing them, rather than just reading the book.
