I'm positive that the book could be reduced down to about 150ish pages and would still achieve the same goal.

As one of Britain's most insightful psychologists, Gilbert illuminates the power of compassion in our lives . Compassionate to yourself and to others (now more than ever this is needed) and the second part gives you exercises to complete to feel and be more compassionate.Lai kā ar stāstiem un fantāzijām gribētos radīt sev pasauli, kurā zinām, kāpēc esam te, zinām jēgu, mērķi, Paul Gilbert piedāvā, ka tā nav bijusi neviena mūsu izvēle te būt, ka tā nav bijusi neviena mūsu izvēle būt tieši tādiem, kādi esam. It was not an enjoyable book to listen too and now that I have finished it I cannot think of any particular new of exciting insights I gained from it. We think carefully about our values and try to be the ‘best we can be’ but, at the same time, not ruthlessly exploitative.

From the very first hours of our lives right through to the last moments, kindness, gentleness, warmth and compassion are the things that can sustain us and help us bear the setbacks, tragedies and suffering that life will rain down on us. Paul Gilbert has a really passionate view on the need for more compassion in psychological theory and practice. We need to recognize, however, that when we accept ourselves as we are, and life as it is, we may find it easier to find peace and contentment within ourselves. Please also list any non-financial associations or interests (personal, professional, political, institutional, religious or other) that a reasonable reader would want to know about in relation to the submitted work. I haven't finished it 😆 Not because of what my friend has said, I actually love the principle behind this book (in my opinion there isn't enough compassion and self-compassion in the world, we could do better than we do on that subject), but I seriously dislike the actual writing, this book could've and should've been 1/5 of its size.I think Paul Gilbert's book titled compassion focused therapy is better structured and the relevant information is condensed. That for me is a key to compassion – recognizing that we have not been designed, that we all just find ourselves here, not because we (or some other power) chose for us to be here. Praktiška knyga, su daug pratimų pavyzdžių, kaip didinti savo ryšį su savimi, aplinka ir kitais žmonėmis, daugiausia per atjautos ir poreikių patenkinimo prizmę. We have actually known for some time that developing compassion for oneself and others can help us face up to and win through the hardship and find a sense of inner peace.

Gilbert does a good job of presenting the three neurophysiological systems that underly our human motivational networks and how they interact. Life frequently cranks up our inner critic to the maximum, making our shame, guilt or anxiety go into overdrive.Paul Gilbert has created a masterpiece, urging us to harness the power of our minds to shape our brains toward compassion and kindness. As somebody who suffers from severe depression, I know the depressive's harshest critic is themselves. Books comprising myths can thus prevent us from seeing that it is our own greed for nice things that can be, for others, a source of injustice and vengeance.
