Compassion – The Secret to a Better Life! offers a profound reflection on the transformative power of compassion and its essential role in humanity's survival. Drawing on experience with projects at institutions focused on human assistance, the book presents a journey that combines philosophy, neuroscience, the history of religion, and contemporary ethics, demonstrating that compassion is more than a spiritual ideal—it is a practical and urgent necessity in a polarized world.

The book traces a fascinating historical panorama of the religious and philosophical traditions that place compassion at the center of moral life—from Confucius, Buddha, and the sages of the Axial Period, to the teachings of Jesus, Muhammad, and the rabbis of the Talmud. The author demonstrates that all great cultures, at some point, recognized the value of treating others as we would like to be treated. This "golden rule" spans centuries as a common thread among diverse beliefs, revealing that true spirituality arises from a commitment to empathy and mutual respect.

But the book goes beyond theory. The book presents a practical twelve-step program, inspired by personal transformation processes, to cultivate compassion in everyday life. The author argues that we are, in part, prisoners of a "reptilian brain" that fuels selfishness and aggression, but also endowed with an emotional structure—the limbic system—capable of generating empathy, tenderness, and solidarity. Reeducating the mind, therefore, is a revolutionary act: a constant work of self-awareness, discipline, and surrender.

Throughout the book, science and spirituality intersect. The author discusses how neuroscience proves that emotions such as love, gratitude, and kindness strengthen the brain and human well-being, while contemporary culture—driven by competition, consumption, and indifference—stifles these natural impulses. The central message is clear: without compassion, progress becomes hollow and civilization risks self-destruction.

With lucid and inspiring writing, Compassion – The Secret to a Better Life! is an invitation to personal and collective change. It shows that compassion is not a weakness, but a moral strength. It is the bridge between reason and emotion, between faith and action, between self and other. An urgent call for each reader to become a reflection of the world they wish to see—more just, peaceful, and humane.
