Thank you for the article, Sarai and for talking about compassion. It is a tough topic to broach in public, thanks for taking the leap! I was introduced to compassion a few years ago, through Karen Armstrong and her book 12 Steps to Compassion. It was a revelation that I could use it as the base of my management style and it has made work so much more enjoyable! Of the 12 steps, I feel like self-compassion is the most difficult to attain. I view it like nirvana, it is my life's goal to work towards it (which, now that I think about it, shows self-compassion!).
Now that I know my inner voice can have character, I hope it will take on personality and entertain me endlessly! I love the idea that debating personal values can be a process of observation, rather than self flagellation!
I haven't read that book, but thanks for adding it to the list! Karen Armstrong is great, I've read some of her work on religion in the past.
It's actually kind of fun to imagine the characters of your inner voices. It seems odd, but from what I've read and learned, it has some correlation to the way our minds actually work (metaphorically, of course).
