Summary
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 well being. Based on the latest work from Professor Paul Gilbert OBE, best-selling author of The Compassionate Mind, and Buddhist expert Choden.
Professor Gilbert has spent the past 20 years developing a new therapy called Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) which has an gained international following. In recent years, mindfulness is being used increasingly to treat common mental health problems such as depression, stress and stress-related insomnia. In this ground-breaking new audiobook, Professor Gilbert, along with his co-author Choden, 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. Professor Paul Gilbert OBE is world-renowned for his work on depression, shame and self-criticism. He is head of the Mental Health Research Unit, University of Derby. He is the author of the best-selling The Compassionate Mind and Overcoming Depression. Choden: Formally a monk for seven years within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Choden (aka Sean McGovern) completed a three year, three month retreat in 1997 and has been a practicing Buddhist since 1985. He is originally from South Africa where he trained as a lawyer and where he learned meditation under the guidance of Rob Nairn, an internationally renowned Buddhist teacher. He 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.

Highly recommended
If you are interested in mindfulness or the work of Tara Brach I would definitely have a listen to this excellent, accessible book. Before listening to this I struggled to fully grasp the concept of compassion but the authors set it out so clearly here, with lots of examples and exercises that it has really helped me to understand the concept, and in the process myself and my thought patterns. Learning more about compassion has definitely been life changing for me and I would highly recommend this book as part of that journey.

Absolutely fantastic
Would you listen to Mindful Compassion again? Why?
I have listened to Mindful Compassion several times, it is easy to listen to and I felt relaxed & able to apply much of the information to myself.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I have been studying Mindfulness and Meditation but found this book 'clicked' with me and I did feel emotional.
Any additional comments?
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to live life with mindfulness & understand compassion.

Not one for me
On the plus side, the content is well structured and argued. Also the narrator is good just a little pandatic and pedestrian, but clear and cleanly read. So highish rating from me. However I am not a Buddhist and regardless how you spin it, it is a religion which follows a misogynistic path, which if you keep this in mind, none of the teachings can be taken seriously. If the subject had been fully split from Buddhism I would have had more time for the book. Nothing new, and the spin onto psychology is a juxtaposition.
