  • Paul Gilbert continues to inspire me. Self compassion is hard, so hard and hearing some of the work reframed as wisdom and courage is so helpful.

    Dr Willard was clearly enthused by your down-to-earth approach. I enjoyed hearing your intelligent insights delivered in plain English without unnecessary buzz words. Your deep understanding of human suffering combined with care, confidence and a gentle approach is inspiring.

  • Thank you, Dr. Gilbert for an honest and authentic talk. It made me think about how important (and challenging) it is to cultivate compassion and that we need to keep training ourselves and others in cultivating compassion to make it a better world.
