DESCRIPTION
COPY LINK: https://pdf.bookcenterapp.com/yumpu/0197551386 The Art and Science of
Compassion, A Primer offers a succinct, all-in-one introduction to the full gamut of compassion,
from the evolutional, biological, behavioural, and psychological, to the social, philosophical, and
spiritual. Drawing on her diverse background as a clinician, scientist, educator, and chaplain, Dr.
Wong presents a wealth of scientific evidence supporting that compassion is both innate and
trainable. By interleaving personal experiences and reflections, she shares her insights on what it
takes to cultivate compassion to support the art of medicine and caregiving. The training described
in this book draws on both contemplative and scientific disciplines to help clinicians develop
cognitive, attentional, affective, and somatic skills that are critical for the cultivation of compassion.
With striking illustrations for key concepts and concise summaries for each chapter, this book
provides a solid conceptual framework and practical approaches to cultivatecompassion. Advance

scientifically-grounded, this book provides strong physiological, psychological, and ethical reasons
why cultivating compassion is essential&#8213an provides a thoughtful roadmap for promoting
compassion in healthcare and in all of life.&#8221- Ron Epstein, MD, author of Attending:
Medicine, Mindfulness, and Humanity&#8220Dr Agnes Wong, a highly distinguished physician
and exceptional researcher at the University of Toronto, has written an absolutely uplifting
masterpiece about meaning, compassionate care, and the universal journey that all healers must
take to sustain their inner being and nobility of purpose. This book is partly her journey to a deeper
state of being that places compassionate care in its rightful place in the healing art it is also a
fabulous scientific presentation of the practice and impact of compassionate care on patients and
on one's own flourishing as a physician. This is a book that touches the soul and should be read
by every medical student or clinician worldwide as they reflect on what it means to really succeed
in their &#8220whle selves&#8221as healers and human beings.&#8221- Stephen G. Post, PhD,
Director, Center for Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care and Bioethics Professor of Family,
Population and Preventive Medicine, Stony Brook University&quotComassion and empathy are
traits that make us human, and as Dr. Wong shows, these qualities can be developed,
encouraged, and cultivated. In our struggling world, we need this awareness as never before. The
future of our species likely depends on it. This book is an example of how science and spirituality
can come together in a brilliant synthesis.&quot- Larry Dossey, MD, author of One Mind: How Our
Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why It Matters
