La búsqueda incansable de una autoestima sana se ha convertido en una religión tiránica. Nuestra cultura ultracompetitiva nos indica que tenemos que estar por encima de la media para sentirnos bien con nosotros mismos, pero siempre hay alguien más atractivo, más brillante o más inteligente. Y aunque logremos una gran autoestima durante un tiempo, parece que no somos capaces de mantenerla a largo plazo. El sentido de nuestra propia valía sube y baja como una pelota de ping-pong en función de nuestros éxitos o fracasos.Por suerte, existe una alternativa a la autoestima y muchos expertos consideran que representa un camino mejor y más eficaz hacia la felicidad: la compasión hacia uno mismo. La investigación llevada a cabo por Kristin Neff y otros importantes psicólogos indica que las personas que se muestran compasivas con sus fracasos y sus imperfecciones disfrutan de un mayor bienestar que aquellas que se juzgan a sí mismas continuamente. Este libro demuestra de manera contundente por qué es tan importante la autocompasión y te ofrece el mismo apoyo afectuoso que tú brindarías a un buen amigo.Ameno, fácil de leer y totalmente accesible, este libro tiene el poder de cambiar tu vida.

The author of Self-Compassion follows up her groundbreaking book with new ideas that expand our notion of self-kindness and its capacity to transform our lives, showing women how to balance tender self-acceptance with fierce action to claim their power and change the world.Kristin Neff changed how we talk about self-care with her enormously popular first book, Self-Compassion. Now, ten years and many studies later, she expands her body of work to explore a brand-new take on self-compassion. Although kindness and self-acceptance allow us to be with ourselves as we are, in all our glorious imperfection, the desire to alleviate suffering at the heart of this mindset isn't always gentle, sometimes it's fierce. We must also act courageously in order to protect ourselves from harm and injustice, say no to others so we can meet our own needs, and motivate necessary change in ourselves and society. Gender roles demand that women be soft and nurturing, not angry or powerful. But like yin and yang, the energies of fierce and tender self-compassion must be balanced for wholeness and wellbeing. Drawing on a wealth of research, her personal life story and empirically supported practices, Neff demonstrates how women can use fierce and tender self-compassion to succeed in the workplace, engage in caregiving without burning out, be authentic in relationships, and end the silence around sexual harassment and abuse. Most women intuitively recognize fierceness as part of their true nature, but have been discouraged from developing it. Women must reclaim their power in order to create a healthier society and find lasting happiness. In this wise, caring, and enlightening book, Neff shows women how to reclaim balance within themselves, so they can help restore balance in the world.

Gentle and Fierce―Two Sides of Self-Compassion That We All Need NowA vast body of research shows that the skill of self-compassion can deeply calm and heal us. But there's also a fierce "momma bear" side of self-compassion. And all of us―especially women―need it more than ever.In the face of a threatening or unjust situation, have you ever kept silent because you didn't want to rock the boat or make things worse? And then, did you "Next time, how can I become stronger and more effective?"That's the purpose of The Yin and Yang of Self-Compassion . Kristin Neff, PhD, created this inspiring audio program to help you understand and build the two complementary aspects of this crucial The receptive Yin side self-compassion ―how to soothe and comfort yourself when you're in pain and rest in loving, connected presence when alone or with those you care about.The active Yang side self-compassion ―how to see the truth of a situation with courage, protect yourself, and stand strong with others in the face of hostility or harm.In the years since Kristin Neff and her colleagues first identified the trait of self-compassion, we’ve learned that being kind to ourselves does not weaken us. In fact, just the opposite is it makes us more confident, grounded, and resilient amid crisis.Through fascinating research, stories from Kristin's own experiences as a mother and scientist, and key guided practices, you'll learn how to cultivate the full spectrum of self-compassion―to support yourself and others when it matters the most.
