Leverage your biology to support the healing of anxiety, isolation, deep sadness and conflict with this research-tested program for actively practicing compassion.
Lobsang Tenzin Negi is a Tibetan monk turned Emory University professor, who was tasked by the Dalai Lama himself to find new ways of sharing ancient Tibetan wisdom with the modern world. The culmination of this work, a method called Cognitively-Based Compassion Training (CBCT), has been proven to be more effective than mindfulness in reducing anxiety and depression (and just so happens to be the key to a kinder, more collaborative society too).
Guiding us through 8 basic steps, Dr Negi reveals that compassion is a natural instinct, and shows how CBCT can shift our internal wiring to unlock this simple superpower. Each chapter blends traditional Buddhist stories, contemporary anecdotes from across the world, scientific evidence, practical advice, guided meditation and a three-step exercise, to give us a comprehensive and memorable method for improving our lives.
'May this book inspire readers to help lead meaningful lives with peace and joy' The Dalai Lama
Heal anxiety, isolation, deep sadness and conflict with this neuroscience-backed programme for actively practicing compassion.
Imagine becoming the person who instinctively brings kindness into every interaction. One who is remembered for their warmth and generosity. One who lifts up those around them, who remains steady and unshaken, fierce when necessary, yet never reactive or consumed by anger.
We can all be that person who creates a sense of belonging, who connects with others at a deeper level, wherever they go.
Tasked by the Dalai Lama to find new ways of sharing ancient Tibetan wisdom with the modern world, Lobsang Tenzin Negi has been at the forefront of compassion science for over 25 years. Now, guiding us through 8 basic steps, Dr Negi reveals how to bring forth the best parts of ourselves in just 15 minutes a day - training our brain to harness the compassion that evolution has wired into us.
Make compassion a way of life and find stability, connection, belonging and purpose in a changing world.
