Compassion<br />
Are humans selfish? Is compassion a misguided sentiment? Does true<br />
compassion even exist? Follow Dacher Keltner as he overviews current<br />
research that reveals a biological basis for compassion. Discover how<br />
our brains are attuned to our offspring, the first objects of our compassion.<br />
Delve more deeply into other biological bases for compassion that include<br />
the autonomic nervous system and the hormones that course through our<br />
bloodstreams. Expand your awareness of a particular facial expression of<br />
compassion that is recognized even by children. Review prior research findings<br />
that have raised the universal importance of touch. With all of this research as<br />
a foundation for his premise that we do, indeed, have a compassionate instinct,<br />
Dacher Keltner sets out to connect compassion and altruism and to point to<br />
cultivation training that can guide us toward fostering a more compassionate<br />
world.<br />
