About this listen

There’s no denying that life can be difficult. Simply being human means experiencing emotional and physical pain. None of us escapes dealing with pain, failure, and setbacks, but learning how to practice mindful self-compassion can be life-changing. It comes from the understanding that every human being suffers, that we all want to be happy, and that this commonality connects us with everyone else.

Over the last decade, there has been an international explosion of research on mindfulness. Contemplative practices are being integrated with science and psychology. Researchers are sharing information on the power of inner-directed compassion and its beneficial effects on mental well-being, growth, motivation, relationships, and physical health.

Join expert Laurie Cameron to discover tools - including meditations, exercises, journaling, and in-the-moment practices - that will help you evoke mindfulness and empathy in your everyday life in a way that it becomes your natural response - your new set of habits. As you adopt these practices, you’ll start to see a shift in how you work with stressful life events, as well as how you connect with the shared human experience of loss, challenge, and disappointment.

An excellent starting point for people wanting to embrace a gentler approach towards themselves, this audiobook repeats key principles with practical exercises until they are reinforced and helps you to build a solid foundation to put these practices into use in your everyday life. It utilises a number of CBT principles and is a valuable resource for anyone working on mindfulness and self-compassion as tools to alleviate mental distress. I would highly recommend this audiobook and will definitely be revisiting its principles and actitivies as I work on my personal growth further.

The later guided meditations asked us to focus on a person. A little bit unfortunate as i'm trying to use self-compassion to avoid focussing on a person. These had the exact opposite effect on me. I had to stop listening. More abstract guided meditations would work a lot better IMHO.

The general ideas put forward are sound but using a failed holiday trip as her principle stressor is a bit lame. I suspect most of us have got far more serious problems that need masking.

Guided meditations don't work for me

Listening is only 10% of what's needed. Use it or lose it. Great listen.

Practice, practice, and more practice!

this is not the book to go to if you have real life problems. Its not a bad book, but it only really addresses first works problems, not the big stuff most of us struggle with. The first example is of a holiday she isn't able to go on, the second example from her life she talks about going to a monastic retreat. These are NOT relatable to the average person. Only the wealthy. If you are not wealthy, don't bother with this
