info_outline“The more compassion you give to yourself, the more you have available for others.” — Kristin Neff
Many of us prioritize compassion for others, but what about compassion for ourselves? This week, hear from a pioneer on mindful self-compassion, Kristin Neff. As a bestselling author, co-founder of the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion, and an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, Neff is at the forefront of self-compassion research.
Over 20 years ago, Neff was part of the first empirical studies on self-compassion. Most recently, Neff’s work focuses on balancing personal self-acceptance with the courage to make the changes needed to live a happy, successful life.
In addition to her numerous academic articles and other writings on self-compassion, Neff is the author of Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive and Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself.
Neff also co-developed Mindful Self-Compassion, a widely-supported training program, with her colleague Dr. Chris Germer. Today, it’s taught worldwide by thousands of instructors.
