L'autocompassion

All too often, when faced with suffering we react with flight, guilt or resistance, which only serves to accentuate it.   According to Christopher K. the solution is auto-compassion.  It makes us face our problems rather than wanting to reject them, in vain, and be compassionate towards ourselves.  Auto-compassion is an ability that this book proposes to help you develop, thanks to exercises in mindfulness that will teach you to listen to your body, identify your emotions and accept them, connect with others and yourself, and cultivate positive emotions.  Benevolent meditation, known as metta meditation in the Buddhist tradition, and other guided mediation, will also help you to take care of yourself and find the best way of reacting when faced with a difficult situation. 

This book also gives you all the keys to finding the right balance between attention towards yourself and towards others.  It will help you determine and remove the mental obstacles that prevent you from practising auto-compassion.
