Summary: This practical workbook is for anyone with an interest in how compassion can help us understand and try to alleviate suffering. It borrows ideas from Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Buddhist practices. There is good and increasing evidence that cultivating compassion for one's self and others can have a profound impact on our physiological, psychological and social processes. In contrast, concerns with inferiority, shame and self-criticism can have very negative impacts on these processes and are associated with poorer physical and mental health.
