Kristin Neff: Fierce Self-Compassion - Replay

  • Summary

  • I speak with Dr. Kristin Neff, the person perhaps most responsible for researching the effects of self-compassion.

    She is the author of the 2011 bestselling book Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself and her newest book, Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive.

    Kristin and I talk about what she calls fierce self-compassion and how anger can be compassionate, and other questions like:

    • Why are men better at self-compassion than women?
    • What we do find is there’s a small but consistent gender difference that actually favors men.
    • Does the fact that women tend to score lower than men on self-compassion has an impact on the salary gap between men and women.
    • Is there a link between so-called “compulsive caretaking of others” and autoimmune disorders and some kinds of cancer?

    Kristin leads us in a self-compassion meditation, and I ask her about the infectious positivity and compassion of the television series character, Ted Lasso, played by Jason Sudeikis.
