This author takes you on a fascinating journey through people's epic struggles to care for themselves while also showing compassion for others. The journey begins in antiquity and travels through both our evolutionary and cultural adventures that make survival and happiness not merely challenging, but remarkably complex as well. This groundbreaking work seeks to propose practical ideas and guidelines at personal and social levels toward both cultivating and elevating compassionate values. Imagination and creativity play central roles in these efforts, while they remain founded on both moral suasion and scientific bedrocks. The insights expressed throughout the book seek to integrate compassion a little more into your life, and in ways that extend to others. The ultimate path to improving the well-being of everyone begins by viewing the world through the lens of compassion. Compassionate values lie at the grassroots of our aspirations for fairness, justice, and ultimately happiness. This is why a grassroots movement focused on compassion will be the decisive force for the change that our modern world so dearly needs. This isn't just a book It's a unique journey into the very crucible of shaping our future into flourishing lives for everyone... inspired by the transcendent power of compassion
