Cultivate Compassion: Self-Kindness Counts - Hardcover

by Maria James-Shier (Author)

Compassion Counts

What are the secrets to cultivating a compassionate way of being that can make life easier and more enjoyable for ourselves and others?

The Compassion Counts survey set out to explore the best life hacks from caregivers across Canada, Central America, China, the United Kingdom and United States. All around the world, people find ways to make sense of their lives, workplaces and communities. Many of us ask ourselves, "How do I stay strong during times of such unprecedented change and uncertainty?"

We asked 100 caring professionals what they are grateful for and appreciate most in life. How do we recognize when we are running on empty? What lifts us up during tough times? How best to evade overwhelm? Essentially, what strategies can we share, as caring global citizens, to continue to be our best selves during these uncertain times?

In this beautiful, inspiring and evocative book, we are invited to pause and open ourselves to inquiry: What sustains us? How do we remain centred and compassionate during challenging times? This book provides insights to lighten our journey by making small changes, which are possible even when we are just one small part of this complex play.

This collection invites us to recognize the strengths and resources that we already possess, and provides inspiration to integrate a host of new wellness strategies. Whether you decide to read this book from start to finish or simply decide to open a page at random for your daily wellness inspiration, you will be grateful that you did.
