Xe Sands presents this guide to developing compassion for oneself, which is augmented by a self-assessment, exercises, and additional materials available on the Internet. Neff tells of her own journey to greater compassion for herself and includes anecdotes of others to further illustrate her ideas. Narrating smoothly and sincerely, Sands puts forth the author’s message with a lightness that is easy to listen to. Sands sympathetically directs listeners to examine the harshness of self-judgment to deconstruct their negative self-image as a first step to being as compassionate and kind to themselves as they would be to friends or family. Her quiet encouragement advances the message of the author. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
