Mindful Self-Compassion for Burnout: Tools To Help You Heal and Recharge When You’re Wrung Out by Stress

Frequent collaborators and cofounders of the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion Neff (educational psychology, Univ. of Texas, Austin) and Germer, a clinical psychologist, have become the go-to sources for all things self-compassion-related in the psychotherapy world, with works designed for both clinicians and general audiences. As in their previous books, this volume emphasizes the correlation between tender self-acceptance and fierce actions, the importance of boundary setting, and the need to address burnout before it leads to negative outcomes in one’s life, work, and relationships. With chapters focused on providing self-compassion tools, this book offers a DIY approach to circumventing burnout, designed to show that self-criticism and perfectionism fail where self-compassion creates entry points for individuals to find—and use—their strengths in purposeful ways.
