Kristin Neff is currently an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. She is a pioneer in the field of self-compassion research, conducting the first empirical studies on self-compassion almost twenty years ago. In addition to writing numerous academic articles and book chapters on the topic, she is author of the book Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself. In conjunction with her colleague Dr. Chris Germer, she has developed an empirically supported training program called Mindful Self-Compassion, which is taught by thousands of teachers worldwide. They co-authored the Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook and Teaching the Mindful Self-Compassion Program: A Guide for Professionals. Her newest work focuses on how to balance self-acceptance with the courage to make needed change. In June 2021, she will publish Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive. For more information on self-compassion, including a self-compassion test, research articles, practices, and Dr. Neff's teaching schedule, go to www.self-compassion.org.
I am so grateful to Kristin Neff for doing the research, study, and
teaching that it took to write a book as clear and profound as
Fierce Self-Compassion. It's no small feat to weave
threads from brain science, psychology, gender studies, history,
and spiritual practice into a user-friendly guidebook for women who
want to step boldly into their full selves--fierce and tender, kind
and powerful, compassionate toward themselves and devoted to
healing our world. I recommend this book to everyone.
--Elizabeth Lesser, cofounder of Omega Institute, and

guide for ultimate acceptance and action.--Sharon Salzberg,
