ENGAGED COMPASSION

This book about Cognitively-Based Compassion Training (CBCT) shows that it is possible to shift our instincts from our usual worry about our own needs and future, to those of others. If we embrace them as equal to or greater than our own, then we fuel individual happiness and manage anxiety, depression, and cope in the face of large-scale suffering.

Lobsang Tenzin Negi is Emory University scholar and creator of CBCT therapy.
