- Summary:
- Are you ready to transform your mind and emotions? Would you like to discover greater self-confidence, well-being, and true happiness? Mindfulness is a powerful skill that can help you live with increased clarity and awareness-but mindfulness alone is not enough to completely change the way your brain works. Compassion is an extremely potent motivational force and, when combined with mindfulness practices, can help you create real, lasting change in your life. Mindful Compassion presents a unique blending of evolutionary and Buddhist psychology to help you end self-criticism, heal emotional pain, feel worthy and loveable, and be kinder to yourself and others. You'll also learn how traditional mindfulness and compassion can work in harmony to help you overcome everyday stress and troubling emotions. If you are ready to embrace each day with awareness curiosity, and compassion this book can show you the way. Book jacket.
