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