This book is an excellent guide to caring for yourself. Nate starts with reasons it is okay to care for yourself as well as other people. He addresses the religious emphasis on only caring for others and gives reason that you can care for other people more efficiently and feel happier doing it when you care for yourself. As a Christian I understand that the second commandment is "Love others as yourself" not "better than, or "instead of" yourself.
Most of the book consists of Nate's novel ideas on how to have self compassion and care for yourself. He takes many of the traditional self help and spiritual practices and adds his own unique ides. Nate is a counselor and he describes the techniques he uses with his own counseling clients. He includes visualization techniques to feel peaceful, handle criticism, and get rid of unwanted thoughts. Additionally he teaches you how to enjoy your alone time. Whether you are driving or eating alone you can enjoy it.
Nate uses unique metaphors to describe his techniques, including "Your inner barometer", "Go to your balcony", and "Slam a steel door". Get thei book to learn what all of this means and learn how to care for yourself as you never have before.

I am an avid reader of all books in the self-help genre. This book really stands apart from the others because of the way the author relates the content back to his own personal experiences. It's filled with practical advice that can be applied to your daily life right away. A quick read - pick it up and read it today!!

Achieving Self-Compassion: Giving Yourself the Gifts of Happiness and Inner Peace is a healing tool. Nate’s work is a generous gift to those looking to love and understand themselves. The birthplace of healing is certainly self-compassion and this topic is explored in this book like no other.
This work is a collection of timeless wisdom meant to speak to the heart and soul of us all.
It was a joy to have had a conversation with Nate Terrell during a podcast interview! His presence reflected his commitment and mission to touch lives and his compassion was shown and felt long after that interview.

Great Book
It was a class requirement to read this in Nate’s Communication Class at Temple, and I found it quite hard to put this book down once I started. Great 12 step strategy to get over life’s hurdles, and it makes a great contemporary companion to Dale Carnegie’s works. Read it in one sitting, and it was well worth the read.
