Book Description

This ground-breaking new book combines the best of Compassion-Focused Therapy with the most effective mindfulness techniques. The result is an extremely effective approach to overcoming everyday emotional and psychological problems and improving one's sense of wellbeing.

From the Back Cover

'A book full of wisdom that will be a wonderful resource for a whole generation.'
Mark Williams, author of Mindfulness
This important book explores how the way our minds evolved can cause us to have difficult emotions and explains how to respond wisely and compassionately to them and to the stresses of our everyday lives.
Research shows that the ability to develop mindful compassion towards oneself and others has a profound impact on our minds, health and happiness, and on those around us.
Paul Gilbert OBE is a clinical psychologist, the author of the internationally bestselling books The Compassionate Mind and Overcoming Depression, and a pioneer in the field of Compassion Focused Therapy.
Choden is a former Buddhist monk and now teaches mindfulness and compassion programmes internationally.

About the Author

PAUL GILBERT is professor of clinical psychology at the University of Derby and, until his retirement from the NHS in 2016, was consultant clinical psychologist at the Derbyshire Health Care Foundation Trust. He has researched evolutionary approaches to psychopathology for over 40 years with a special focus on the roles of mood, shame and self-criticism in various mental health difficulties for which compassion focused therapy was developed. He has written and edited many books on psychology, therapy, and compassion. He was awarded an OBE by the Queen in March 2011 for services to mental health.

Formally a monk for seven years within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, CHODEN completed a three year, three month retreat in 1997 and has been a practicing Buddhist since 1985. Born as Sean McGovern, he is originally from South Africa where he trained as a lawyer and learned meditation under the guidance of Rob Nairn, an internationally renowned Buddhist teacher.

Choden is now involved in developing secular mindfulness and compassion programmes drawing upon the wisdom and methods of the Buddhist tradition, as well as contemporary insights from psychology and neuroscience. He is an honorary fellow of the University of Aberdeen and teaches on their Postgraduate Study Programme in Mindfulness (MSc) that is the first of its kind to include compassion in its curriculum. He lives on the Isle of Arran.

He is an honorary fellow of the University of Aberdeen and teaches on their Postgraduate Study Programme in Mindfulness (MSc) that is the first of its kind to include compassion in its curriculum. He co-wrote a book with Paul Gilbert in 2013, entitled ‘Mindful Compassion’ that explores the interface between Buddhist and Evolutionary approaches to compassion training. He is also the co-author of two upcoming books: ‘Mindfulness Based Living Course’ (due to be published in November 2018) and ‘From Mindfulness to Insight’ (due to be published by Shambhala in April 2019).

A well written and comprehensive yet engaging book. The two authors bring different perspectives and styles. A must read and indeed, reread. Excellent!
The Buddhist and non-Buddhist elements of the book are very thought provoking and illuminating. Give this book a try as it is written by reputable and experienced mindfulness teachers, not authors who have adopted the latest fad which is unfortunately prevalent in popular culture, this is authentic and invaluable guidance.

I always get bogged down by self-help books and thought this would just be like any other one which is boring and doesn't appeal to me and my mental health needs. This book however is amazing in the way it explains why I feel what I feel in very simplistic terms and what I can actually do to change it. Amazing book and would recommend to anyone :)

A guide to Meditation and Living
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 July 2014
Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
I use this book as my guide to meditation and to living. What I love about it is that it doesn't just focus on 'mindfulness' but combines that with 'compassion'. Without the latter, I would find mindfulness in meditating and in living to be too difficult. I also love the information on the brain, how it developed, and how it affects the way we behave. This is a great book, especially for anyone who suffers from anxiety and who wants to find peace and calm.

Great book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 July 2013
Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
This is very rewarding reading about compassion and its value to us for better health. Motivation is a topic which runs through it too. Gilberts style is very positive and encouraging. The book is very detailed and certainly gives food for thought. The values of Buddhism are also drawn upon. Overall one of the best books on this sort of topic I have found.

The first half deserves a million stars.
The second half has some routine mindfulness based exercises that is a bit of repeatition if you are into the subject but still nice.

A really useful book
Reviewed in the United States on 27 November 2014
Verified Purchase
I teach meditation and I recommended to my study group that this would be an excellent text for us to further our study of compassion as one of the skills we use in a meditation practice, especially as it is linked to the second skill of mindfulness and uses many of the focus ( the third skill I teach) techniques as well. The introduction and first chapter sets up the background then the next chapters focus on our brain and how it evolved and what that means to those practicing these skills. I particularly like that compassion is considered not only the recognition and feeling of compassion but also the commitment to action.
Most of us have found the exercises and reflections useful, and sometimes dramatic in practice.
I can recommend this text to those who have not been practicing long as well as long time practitioners. It is an excellent amalgam of science, theory and practical components.

Compassion for the Reader First
Reviewed in the United States on 30 May 2015
Verified Purchase
The focus is compassion in this book and not just for other people. When you study Buddhism, you can sometimes feel you are lacking the character to actually succeed. He makes the point over and over that our reactions are perfectly normal given our evolution and our experiences. But then he goes on to explain how we can change for the better and happier. The meditations are most useful. A good book for the beginner or someone having doubts or needing a gentle pat on the back.
