We’re kind and understanding rather than harshly self-critical when we fail, make mistakes, or feel inadequate. We give ourselves support and encouragement rather than being cold or judgmental when challenges and difficulties arise in our lives. Research indicates that self-compassion is one of the most powerful sources of coping and resilience we have available, radically improving our mental and physical wellbeing. It motivates us to make changes and reach our goals not because we’re inadequate, but because we care and want to be happy.\n\n[Learn More about self-compassion](https:\/\/self-compassion.org\/what-is-self-compassion\/)\n\n![](https:\/\/self-compassion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Firefly_195a1c6c-52b5-4bba-a91d-ebcd691dd403-e1747952892355-1024x856.webp)\n\n![Kristin Neff](https:\/\/self-compassion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kristin-Neff-with-border-1.webp)\n\nKristin Neff, Ph.D. is a pioneer in the study of self-compassion, being the first one to operationally define and measure the construct more than twenty years ago. She has been recognized as one of the world’s most influential research psychologists. Together with her colleague [Dr. Chris Germer](https:\/\/chrisgermer.com\/), she has created several empirically supported self-compassion training programs and co-founded the [Center for Mindful Self-compassion](https:\/\/centerformsc.org\/). Dr. Neff has written several best-selling books about self-compassion, and is often featured in podcasts and other media advocating for the power of self-compassion to change lives.\n\n- [LEARN MORE ABOUT KRISTIN](https:\/\/self-compassion.org\/about-kristin-neff\/)\n\n[Facebook](https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/selfcompassion)\n\n[Twitter](https:\/\/twitter.com\/self_compassion)\n\n[Instagram](https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/NeffSelfCompassion\/)\n\n## Recent Blog Posts by Dr. Neff\n### [Finding Peace in Chaotic Times](https:\/\/self-compassion.org\/blog\/finding-peace-in-chaotic-times\/)\nIn chaotic times, both outer and inner, peace doesn’t come from controlling circumstances—it comes from self-compassion.

We’re kind and understanding rather than harshly self-critical when we fail, make mistakes, or feel inadequate. We give ourselves support and encouragement rather than being cold or judgmental when challenges and difficulties arise in our lives. Research indicates that self-compassion is one of the most powerful sources of coping and resilience we have available, radically improving our mental and physical wellbeing. It motivates us to make changes and reach our goals not because we’re inadequate, but because we care and want to be happy.\n\n[Learn More about self-compassion](https:\/\/self-compassion.org\/what-is-self-compassion\/)\n\n![](https:\/\/self-compassion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Firefly_195a1c6c-52b5-4bba-a91d-ebcd691dd403-e1747952892355-1024x856.webp)\n\n![Kristin Neff](https:\/\/self-compassion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kristin-Neff-with-border-1.webp)\n\nKristin Neff, Ph.D. is a pioneer in the study of self-compassion, being the first one to operationally define and measure the construct more than twenty years ago.

We’re kind and understanding rather than harshly self-critical when we fail, make mistakes, or feel inadequate. We give ourselves support and encouragement rather than being cold or judgmental when challenges and difficulties arise in our lives. Research indicates that self-compassion is one of the most powerful sources of coping and resilience we have available, radically improving our mental and physical wellbeing. It motivates us to make changes and reach our goals not because we’re inadequate, but because we care and want to be happy.
