Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Life can be difficult and perplexing, and humans have always sought meaning and happiness. This book will explore ways to approach this quest. We will concentrate on the benefits of developing compassion, with a special focus on self-kindness and self-compassion.

#2 Compassion is beneficial for us, and it has been proven by researchers that when we fantasize and think about compassion, this does interesting things to our brains and bodies.

#3 Many spiritual traditions have seen this life as one of suffering from which we are seeking to escape. We are separated from God and are seeking to return. The soul must learn spiritual lessons through suffering, which is the point of reincarnation.

#4 Compassion is the wellspring of peaceful well-being. It is not just a moral position, but a way of training our brains that affects connections in a very important way.
