The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself with Dr. Kristin Neff

This week Jon and Will take a deep dive into the power of Self-Compassion with best selling author Dr. Kristin Neff, who is currently an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. 

Dr Neff is a pioneer in the field of self-compassion research, conducting the first empirical studies on self-compassion nearly twenty years ago. She has been recognized as one of the most influential researchers in psychology worldwide. Along with her colleague Chris Germer she developed the empirically-supported Mindful Self-Compassion program and co-wrote The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook. Her latest book is: Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive.
