The space between self-esteem and self compassion – Kristin Neff TEDx talk

Self-compassion fosters resilience, well-being, and a healthy sense of self-worth. In this TEDx talk Dr Kristin Neff delves into the transformative power of self-compassion. She discusses the distinction between self-esteem and self-compassion, the detrimental effects of self-criticism, and the three core components of self-compassion: kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness. Neff explains how self-compassion activates the mammalian caregiving system, promotes optimal motivation, and has numerous positive effects on mental well-being. Through the use of personal examples and dispelling common misconceptions she advocates for self-compassion as an essential aspect of personal growth and well-being.

DR KRISTIN NEFF is an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. She is a pioneer in the study of self-compassion and is recognised as one of the most influential research psychologists
