Narrado por: Christopher Germer PhD

"I'm tired of feeling stressed out every day." "I can't stand having so little impact, despite caring so much and working so hard." "I just don't have anything left to give."

Over years of developing and teaching their renowned Mindful Self-Compassion program, Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer have found MSC to be uniquely helpful for people struggling with the soul-draining depletion of burnout--from health care professionals, teachers, and caregivers, to tapped-out business owners and employees. Narrated by Christopher Germer, each chapter in this engaging book offers an empathic story of someone stretched to their limits and an easily digestible bite of self-compassion that culminates in a simple anti-burnout tool based on MSC practices. Learn quick and powerful ways to recharge your batteries, de-stress, and, above all, be kind to yourself--so you can be there for others.

There is hope for a full recovery from burnout

This is the first resource I’ve read that has left me feeling genuinely hopeful that a full recovery from burnout and the prevention of burnout in the future is possible…and it doesn’t involve stopping working or adding lots of self-care tasks/other that seems unreachable and overwhelming. After reading this book I’m starting to notice some shifts in my thinking that is making a difference and I believe that I’m finally on a path to healing from burnout and also have some tools to prevent it in the future. If you are burned out, I highly recommend reading this book.
