Today’s book: Self-Compassion by Kristin Neff—a research-backed guide to overcoming self-criticism, building resilience, and treating yourself with the kindness you deserve.
Here’s your 1-minute summary:
- Self-compassion isn’t weakness—it’s strength. Being kind to yourself builds resilience and helps you bounce back faster.
- Treat yourself like a friend. You wouldn’t harshly judge a loved one—so why do it to yourself?
- Acknowledge your struggles, but don’t over-identify with them. Accepting pain without letting it define you creates space for growth.
- You’re not alone in your suffering. Struggles are part of the human experience—remembering this reduces shame and isolation.
- Replace self-judgment with self-kindness. Shift your inner dialogue from criticism to encouragement—it makes a huge difference.
You’re doing better than you think. How can you practice self-compassion today?
