A Fearless Heart: How the Courage to Be Compassionate Can Transform Our Lives by Thupten Jinpa

5.0

This book offers an accessible introduction to compassion as an important value and practice. The value of compassion is convincingly shown by the backing that is provided from Buddhist and Western philosophy, as due to the evidence that is provided from the modern life and social sciences. It is nice to read that the best of two worlds are being brought together with the purpose to improve people's wellbeing.

The exercises in the book are as accessible as the book itself and challenges the reader to apply compassion in daily life. The proof and examples that are offered in the book regarding the positive effects of compassion help to motivate you doing these exercises.

The book is a worthwhile read for anyone who seeks to create a more compassionate world.
