Fierce Self-Compassion
How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive
Book • 2021
In this book, Kristin Neff expands on her previous work on self-compassion by introducing the concept of 'fierce self-compassion.
' She argues that while kindness and self-acceptance are crucial, self-compassion also involves acting courageously to protect oneself from harm and injustice.
Neff draws on research, her personal life story, and empirically supported practices to demonstrate how women can use fierce and tender self-compassion to succeed in the workplace, engage in caregiving without burning out, be authentic in relationships, and address issues like sexual harassment and abuse.
The book emphasizes the need for women to reclaim their power and balance within themselves to create a healthier society and find lasting happiness.
