"Research studies show the benefits of being a supportive friend to yourself, especially in times of need. This workbook has plenty of meditations and exercises-- and plenty of blank space for your notes and responses-- to help you discover the seeds of self-compassion already withing you. Neff and Germer offer a step-by-step approach to help you break free of harsh self-judgments and impossible standards."--From publisher.

Germer, Christopher K.
