Engaged Compassion: Seven Practices to Cultivate Resilience, Connection, and a Joyous Life - Hardcover

by Lobsang Tenzin Negi (Author)

Rooted in modern science and Buddhist meditative tradition, Engaged Compassion presents a seven-step path to lasting wellbeing through CBCT® (Cognitively Based Compassion Training), developed at Emory University's Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Ethics under the guidance of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

In a world where burnout and disconnection have become epidemic, people are searching for a way to care deeply for others without depleting themselves. Engaged Compassion offers a revolutionary approach to human flourishing that goes beyond traditional self-care advice. This isn't about building walls to protect yourself — it's about developing the emotional intelligence and practical skills needed to create more meaningful connections at both individual and societal levels.

Through seven evidence-based steps, readers learn to transform their relationship with suffering — both their own and others' — into a source of resilience rather than exhaustion. Bridging time-tested contemplative methods with insights from cutting-edge psychology, it demonstrates how genuine compassion energizes us when practiced skillfully.

The result? Discovering compassion as the key to making a meaningful difference in the world without sacrificing your own well-being.
