The Science of Compassion

Why is compassion so powerful? Like many forms of spirituality and meditation, compassion practice has been shown by research to enhance your health, psychological well-being, relationships, and sense of purpose. The unique quality of compassion, teaches Dr. Kelly McGonigal, is that its benefits extend to the one who offers it, the one who receives it, and all those who witness compassion in action. With "The Science of Compassion," this respected author blends the latest neuroscience with meditations and practical tools to help listeners build self-compassion, transform empathic distress, overcome compassion fatigue, and cultivate the courage to reach out to others.
