Overview
When was the last time you beat yourself up over a small mistake you made? It's still hard not to get angry at yourself for even the smallest missteps. We all set standards for ourselves that are too high, fall short, and just get more frustrated that we 'can't do anything right.'
But what makes us behave this way? And is there a way to overcome it? Dr. Kristin Neff answers these questions and more in Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself. Through developing your ability to treat yourself with kindness and gentleness, you'll be able to move through the world with love and fulfillment.
