Introducing Kristin Neff and her work on self-compassion:

"Self-compassion is a concept borrowed from Buddhist psychology, and entails self-kindness, feelings of interconnectedness, and mindfulness."

From the Introduction of 'The Compassionate Mind' by Paul Gilbert, founder of the Compassionate Mind Foundation:

"What is extremely exciting is that the last 30 years or so have seen the science of psychology and studies of the human brain begin to put compassion, caring, and pro-social behaviour centre stage in the development of well-being, mental health and our capacity to foster harmonious relationships.."
