Our ultracompetitive culture tells us we need to be constantly
above average to feel good about ourselves, but there always seems
to be someone more attractive, successful, or intelligent than we
are. The relentless pursuit of high self-esteem has become a
virtual religion--and a tyrannical one at that. Fortunately, there
is an alternative that many experts believe is a better and more
effective path to happiness: self-compassion. People who are
compassionate toward their failings and imperfections experience
greater well-being than those who repeatedly judge themselves.
In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Kristin Neff, the world's
foremost expert on self-compassion, will show you how to let go of
debilitating self-criticism and finally learn to be kind to
yourself, demonstrating how to heal destructive emotional patterns
so that you can be healthier, happier, and more effective.
Engaging, highly readable, and eminently accessible, this book has
the power to change your life.

often-psychological struggle. To make matters worse, you are often
own worst critic. The Self-Compassion Workbook for Teens offers
valuable tools based in mindfulness and self-compassion to help you
overcome self-judgment and self-criticism, cultivate compassion
toward yourself and others, and embrace who you really are. As a
teen, you're going through major changes-both physically and
mentally. These changes can have a dramatic effect on how you
perceive, understand, and interpret the world around you, leaving
you feeling stressed and anxious. Additionally, you may also find
yourself comparing yourself to others-whether its friends,
classmates, or celebrities and models. And all of this comparison
can leave you feeling like you just aren't enough. So, how can you
move past feelings of stress and insecurity and start living the
life you really want? Written by psychologist Karen Bluth and based
on practices adapted from Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer's
Mindful Self-Compassion program, this workbook offers fun and
tactile exercises grounded in mindfulness and self-compassion to
help you cope more effectively with the ongoing challenges of
day-to-day life. You'll learn how to be present with difficult
emotions, and respond to these emotions with greater kindness and
self-care. By practicing these activities and meditations, you'll
learn specific tools to help you navigate the emotional ups and
downs of the teen years with greater ease. Life is imperfect-and so
are we. But if you're ready to move past self-criticism and
self-judgment and embrace your unique self, this compassionate
guide will light the way.
