Compassion: Caring For Ourselves, Caring For Our World

The Dalai Lama has said that it is only the radical mindstate of compassion that can bring about healing within ourselves, each other and the world. We explore and deepen our understanding of compassion, why it’s so radical, and realize that only by caring for ourselves we’re able to care for our world. We explore a specific practice of compassion that’s simple, sustainable and profound.

Unshakeable Confidence illuminates the cultural conditioning that adversely affects nearly all women—in body, mind, and spirit. Its reframing of codependence, learned helplessness, and relationship addiction as “othering” is groundbreaking. And, most importantly, it gives all of us precise instructions for how to come back home to our essential, healthy, confident selves. Every woman needs to know and practice what’s in these pages.


— Christiane Northrup, MD, New York Times bestselling author of ‘Goddesses Never Age’, ‘Wisdom of Menopause’, and ‘Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom’

Highly recommended for any woman who feels stuck with insecurity.


— Sharon Salzberg, author of ‘Lovingkindness’, and ‘Real Happiness’
