Engaged Compassion by Lobsang Tenzin Negi

‘May this book inspire readers to help lead meaningful lives with peace and joy’ The Dalai Lama

'A practical guide to leading a fulfilled life' Daniel Goleman


Heal anxiety, isolation, deep sadness and conflict with this neuroscience-backed programme for actively practicing compassion.

Imagine becoming the person who instinctively brings kindness into every interaction. One who is remembered for their warmth and generosity. One who lifts up those around them, who remains steady and unshaken, fierce when necessary, yet never reactive or consumed by anger.

We can all be that person who creates a sense of belonging, who connects with others at a deeper level, wherever they go.

Tasked by the Dalai Lama to find new ways of sharing ancient Tibetan wisdom with the modern world, Lobsang Tenzin Negi has been at the forefront of compassion science for over 25 years. Now, guiding us through 7 basic steps, Dr Negi reveals how to bring forth the best parts of ourselves in just 15 minutes a day.

With practices to train our brain to harness the compassion that evolution has wired into us, we learn to:

• focus our attention
• build resilience
• increase our capacity for connection, and
• awaken a sense of appreciation

Make compassion a way of life and find stability, connection, belonging and purpose in a changing world.
