Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself

Autor Kristin Neff
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 iul 2011

Observăm în Self-Compassion o schimbare radicală de paradigmă: trecerea de la stima de sine bazată pe performanță și comparație socială, la o acceptare blândă a propriei umanități. Kristin Neff nu ne propune o simplă lectură motivațională, ci o metodologie fundamentată pe zece ani de cercetare academică, menită să combată anxietatea și depresia specifice unei culturi hiper-competitive. Stilul său îmbină rigoarea psihologiei vestice cu strategii meditative estice, oferind un instrumentar practic pentru momentele de eșec sau inadecvare.

Remarcăm structura echilibrată a cărții, care explică cele trei componente esențiale ale autocompasiunii: bunătatea față de sine, umanitatea comună și prezența conștientă (mindfulness). Complementar volumului Self-Compassion for Dummies de Steven Hickman, unde accentul cade pe simplificarea conceptelor pentru un public larg, lucrarea lui Neff explorează în profunzime mecanismele psihologice și oferă o bază teoretică solidă. Față de The Mindful Path to Self-Compassion de Steven Frank, care se concentrează pe depășirea fricii de eșec prin acceptare, Self-Compassion pune accent pe transformarea dialogului interior și pe exerciții aplicate, inclusiv resurse audio.

Această carte reprezintă pilonul central al operei autoarei, fiind lucrarea care a pus bazele programului detaliat în Teaching the Mindful Self-Compassion Program. Dacă în ghidurile sale ulterioare Neff se concentrează pe pedagogia predării acestor tehnici, aici găsim esența filozofiei sale și demonstrația puterii pe care o are bunătatea față de propria persoană în procesul de vindecare emoțională.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

The relentless pursuit of high self-esteem has become a virtual religion. Our ultracompetitive culture tells us we need to be constantly above average to feel good about ourselves, but there is always someone more attractive, successful, or intelligent than we are. And even when we do manage to grab hold of high self-esteem for a brief moment, we can't seem to keep it. Our sense of self-worth goes up and down like a Ping-Pong ball, rising and falling in lockstep with our latest success or failure.
Fortunately, there is an alternative to self-esteem that many experts believe is a better and more effective path to happiness: self-compassion. The research of Dr. Kristin Neff and other leading psychologists indicates that people who are compassionate toward their failings and imperfections experience greater well-being than those who repeatedly judge themselves. This book powerfully demonstrates why it's so important to be self-compassionate and give yourself the same caring support you'd give to a good friend.
Using solid empirical research, personal stories, practical exercises, and humor, Dr. Neff—the world's foremost expert on self-compassion—explains how to heal destructive emotional patterns so that you can be healthier, happier, and more effective.
