Review:

This banquet of beautiful quotes includes enriching commentary and guided reflections that bring compassion to life. --Tara Brach, Ph.D., author of True Refuge (2012) and Radical Acceptance (2013)

Compassion is a strength that allows us to transform emotional suffering. It is a skill that can be learned, and it can be directed toward oneself. If you allow this book to be a bedside companion for the next year, your life will change in many positive ways. --Christopher Germer, Ph.D., Coeditor of Wisdom and Compassion in Psychotherapy (2012)
