[Summary] This podcas is based on "Mindful Compassion" by Paul Gilbert in a collaborative effort with Choden. Gilbert, a clinical psychologist, brings insights from Western psychology and neuroscience to the book, while Choden, a Tibetan Buddhist practitioner, offers ancient practices and wisdom from the Eastern tradition. The book explains that compassion is an evolved and natural human ability, but one that needs to be cultivated in order to overcome the various obstacles that can impede it. The authors suggest that cultivating mindful compassion can have profound benefits for individuals and society as a whole, leading to greater well-being, happiness, and understanding between people.
