Publisher Description
"I'm tired of feeling stressed out every day." "I can't stand having so little impact, despite caring so much and working so hard." "I just don't have anything left to give." Over years of developing and teaching their renowned Mindful Self-Compassion program, Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer have found MSC to be uniquely helpful for people struggling with the soul-draining depletion of burnout--from health care professionals, teachers, and caregivers, to tapped-out business owners and employees. Each chapter in this engaging book offers an empathic story of someone stretched to their limits and an easily digestible bite of self-compassion that culminates in a simple anti-burnout tool based on MSC practices. Learn quick and powerful ways to recharge your batteries, de-stress, and, above all, be kind to yourself--so you can be there for others.

It has everything we have come to love about the Mindful Self-Compassion program but with more wisdom and way of looking at each practice that makes you think about your experience of burnout in a new way. It gives you language for feelings of burnout you never understood you had. The practices are gentle enough to help you make space for your feelings with compassion while being fierce enough to make you want embrace the practices. Not to feel better but because you are suffering. It gives you an understanding that you were okay as you are to begin with but here is how love yourself even more.

All while showing us we are not alone and we all are part of this human experience. There is an ocean of compassion to go around and engulf us all. This book teaches us to be compassionate and then turn that compassion inward.
