In this important & thought-provoking work, Karen Armstrong--one of the most original thinkers on the role of religion in the modern world--provides an impassioned & practical guide to helping us make the world a more compassionate place. The twelve steps she suggests begin with " Learn About Compassion, & close with Love Your Enemies." In between, she takes up self-love, mindfulness, suffering, sympathetic joy, the limits of our knowledge of others, & "concern for everybody." She shares concrete methods to help us cultivate & expand our capacity for compassion, & provides a reading list to encourage us to "hear one another's narratives." Armstrong teaches us that becoming a compassionate human being is a lifelong project & a journey filled with rewards. ...
