Publishers Description: Buck up. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Dont 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. Youll master practical techniques for living more fully in the present moment -- especially when hard-to-bear emotions arise -- and for being kind to yourself when you need it the most.
