The concept of the quantified self relates to how people make quantifiable records of themselves in a wide range of activities and emotional reactions. Instead of making a qualitative judgement of oneself, this concept relies on scoring and recording data. So, if you were to judge yourself as feeling healthy and alive after a run or a swim, then this would be a qualitative judgement. However, if you had quantifiable data to back this up, such as counting the number of steps you took or your average heart rate as well as data relating to your release of serotonin, for instance, then this would count as forming part of the quantified self. Since technology has become increasingly miniaturised and able to communicate its data via the internet, the concept of the quantified self has grown in popularity.
An associate professor of educational psychology, Kristin Neff is a leading proponent of the concept of self-compassion. She is regarded as one of the first academics in the world to research the long-term benefits associated with the practice. After gaining her doctorate from the University of California, where she studied moral development, Neff went on to conduct her post-doctoral thesis at the University of Denver where she focussed on self-concept development. While studying, Neff began to take more of an interest in Buddhism, which has shaped many of her insights into psychology. Neff has used meditation techniques throughout her life. Specifically, she espouses the Insight Meditation tradition as one that has worked for her.
