Product Description

Review
'Anyone who struggles with their inner critic should make sure to read this book. Professor Gilbert writes in a masterly fashion about compassionate mind training - an innovative approach which is likely to grow in importance over the next decade as the evidence for its benefit continues to build.' - David Veale, President British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies 2006-8. <br/><br/> 'Paul Gilbert is one of the most brilliant scientists studying compassion today. In this wonderful book, he makes his theories very accessible and down-to-earth. You feel like you re having a chat in his living-room with a warm cup of tea. I also love his easy-to-follow exercises, which offer concrete ways to help you develop greater compassion in daily life.' - Kristin Neff, Associate Professor of Human Development, University of Texas at Austin. <br/><br/> 'Like so frequently in the past, Paul Gilbert has come forth again with a book about the mind, its unused potential, and how to harness that potential to one s and others benefit. The Compassionate Mind is a roadmap to compassion for the self and towards others. It is a book for those curious enough to explore their hidden potential to attain a special kind of humanness and happiness. A 10 on a scale of 1 to 10.' - Michael McGuire, author Darwinian Psychiatry <br/><br/> 'A useful addition to any nursing library and ... of interest to anyone with a concern for mental health issues'. --Learning Disability Practice

5.0 out of 5 stars FULL OF INSIGHT, 26 May 2009
By Julian Sudre - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I highly recommend this book. Written in a very accessible manner, the approach to psychotherapy, mental desease, such as anxiety, depression is indeed well explained. The author engages the reader on many levels such as how the mind patterns particular reactions and why some people are more prone than others to be stressed or depressive. Gives you a lots of food for thought - very informative - and undeniably helpful when it comes to getting people out of the vicious circles they get themselves into. Happiness is a state of mind and a philosophy that Buddhism relates well to. Paul Gilbert's book is well worth the read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent - as far as it goes..., 4 May 2009
By D. WALKER "David H. Walker" (Gloucester, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Compassionate Mind by Professor Paul Gilbert gave me fresh dimensions on Compassion. I had read Psychology at LSE 50 years ago, and then trained as a Social Worker, Senior Probation Officer and Director of a Counselling Service. I have met hundreds of people who demonstrated great compassion - but never really tried to analyse the components and antecedents of "The Compassionate Mind". It was a facinating journey through this weighty yet readable tome. As a practising Christian who has studied and talked with people brought up following several other faiths, I have found many compassionate attitudes we share.
However I was very sad that the specific and unique compassionate actions and teachings of Jesus Christ are given so little emphasis. Professor Gilbert does emphasize that each faith school produces iconic stand-points which claim special uniqueness - so you would expect me to say that , wouldn't you Professor? Your book was brilliantly written and well argued - and I was extremely glad i bought it and devoured it - even though the skimming over of what I deemed important was provocative - as you intended...! Thank you!
