The Mindful Path to Self-Compassion


The Mindful Path to Self-Compassion: Freeing Yourself from Destructive Thoughts and Emotions
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. Practical examples and innovative exercises and techniques make this an ideal resource for readers who are new to mindfulness or want to bring an important new dimension to their meditation practice.

  1. I actually own this book, if I had to choose one buddhist orientated self-help book to begin with, this would be it.
    The title is long and wordy, but the book makes many excellent points and addressed many questions that rise.

  2. Hey, thanks for the book, looks really interesting. Just wondering, is this mindul path equals the vipassana way?
    Cheers!
