"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
