About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A follow up from the bestselling Self-Compassion, this book shows why it is more urgent than ever that women acknowledge their areas of suffering, celebrate their inner voice and challenge the male-orientated status quo.

The book will draw on Kristin Neff's own life story as well as the stories of other women to show how readers can harness self-compassion and gain the strength, clarity and courage needed to be resilient and stand up for themselves in our male-dominated society.

She'll explore core issues such as gender differences, why we aren't more compassionate to themselves, and what women do for love. With expert research, concrete tools and easy-to-follow mindfulness practices, this book will empower women to let go of self-criticism, draw boundaries and become fierce.

Kristin Neff empowers women to combat patriarchy by shining a light on the true nature of compassion-both nurturing and fierce
The authoritative guide to self-compassion
Fierce Self-Compassion encourages anyone who identifies as a woman to claim the strength that comes from caring for ourselves
All stars
Most relevant
This book has so much wisdom in it. If you have trouble asserting boundaries, if you have guilt from looking after your own needs, if you berate yourself for your shortcomings, have a listen.

The narration is intelligent, warm and my only criticism is that it’s a touch slow - the only time I’ve ever listened on a faster speed! - but five stars nonetheless.

This audiobook has given me so much. We all need to show ourselves self compassion and this book will help you to achieve it. I’ve recommended it to so many friends, and they are loving it too. I will listen to this again and again because there are so many lessons to take from this book. I might have to buy it in paperback and get some post it notes.
