Summary

"Did I sound stupid?" "Should I have sent that email?" "How do I look?" Many of us spend a lot of time feeling self-conscious and comparing ourselves to others. Why do we judge ourselves so relentlessly? Why do we strive so hard to be special or successful, or to avoid feeling rejected? When psychologist and mindfulness expert Dr. Ronald Siegel realized that he, as well as most of his clients, was caught in a cycle of endless self-evaluation, he decided to do something about it. This engaging, empowering guide sheds light on this very human habit—and explains how to break it. Through illuminating stories, exercises, and practical tools, Dr. Siegel invites you to stop obsessing so much about how you measure up. Instead, by accepting the extraordinary gift of being ordinary, you can build stronger connections with others and get more joy out of life.

Loved it.

The best & most affective self help book I’ve ever listened to. We are made, & work best, by taking our minds off ourselves, & caring for the needs of others.
I got the cue for this book in Renee Brown’s ‘The Anatomy of the heart’…. another brilliant book of this ilk.
