Outstanding book!

It's so easy to read and follow, even the science, which is very helpful in understanding how all of this works. Instead of it being a woo woo concept it now makes so much sense. The exercises are easy and very helpful too. I particularly like that emotional regulation was touched on as well, as it's a super important skill and mindfulness is crucial to developing it.

I'll read everything Shauna Shapiro writes in future!

3.5 good book, has plenty of nuggets for learning. Glad i borrowed and read this book. Contains a actionable steps such as meditations for almost every item that was mentioned, including compassion, healthy discernment instead of toxic shame etc. Recommended if you are interested in mindfulness applied to the area of self love.
