Fierce self-compassion : how women can harness kindness to speak up, claim their power, and thrive / by Neff, Kristin,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Kristin Neff changed how we talk about self-care with her enormously popular first book, Self-Compassion. Now, ten years and many studies later, she expands her body of work to explore a brand-new take on self-compassion. Although kindness and self-acceptance allow us to be with ourselves as we are, in all our glorious imperfection, the desire to alleviate suffering at the heart of this mindset isn't always gentle, sometimes it's fierce. We must also act courageously in order to protect ourselves from harm and injustice, say no to others so we can meet our own needs, and motivate necessary change in ourselves and society. Gender roles demand that women be soft and nurturing, not angry or powerful. But like yin and yang, the energies of fierce and tender self-compassion must be balanced for wholeness and wellbeing. Drawing on a wealth of research, her personal life story and empirically supported practices, Neff demonstrates how women can use fierce and tender self-compassion to succeed in the workplace, engage in caregiving without burning out, be authentic in relationships, and end the silence around sexual harassment and abuse. Most women intuitively recognize fierceness as part of their true nature, but have been discouraged from developing it. Women must reclaim their power in order to create a healthier society and find lasting happiness. In this wise, caring, and enlightening book, Neff shows women how to reclaim balance within themselves, so they can help restore balance in the world.

A bit much / by Jackson, Sarah(Author of A bit much),author.;
"Alice is twenty-four and having a breakdown. She's lost her job, her appetite, her ability to sleep. And now she's worried she's going to lose Mia, her closest friend who's being treated for a serious illness. Alice visits Mia at the hospital (on the days Alice can get herself out of bed), and while they fall into familiar patterns--Alice makes Mia laugh, Mia tells Alice she needs to get laid--they know their friendship is changing, and they know they can't control what will happen in the days ahead. Still focused on Mia, while trying to convince others she's a stable, happy woman, Alice meets her neighbour, James--someone she used to cross the street to avoid. They're interested in each other, but Alice, who is a lethal combination of judgemental and insecure, is hesitant; she has never had luck with dating, and she thinks now is a weird time since Mia needs her. And she figures he probably sucks anyway. Mia encourages Alice to keep moving, to go out, to work, while Mia attempts to hide her loneliness and fear as her body breaks down. But as Alice tries to push herself to do more, including allowing herself to get close to James, she struggles to move forward knowing Mia can't. A Bit Much is an intimate look at female friendships, new relationships, and the disorienting times in which we live. Brilliantly caustic and strangely funny, it introduces Sarah Jackson as a fascinating new voice in Canadian literature."--Provided by publisher.
