What a lovely little book this is. I felt good just reading it. Right now, there is so much negativity in the world. We all need a reminder of compassion. The author recommends limiting experiences that could affect your compassion. This is as simple as limiting the media input. She also mentions the importance of active listening.

The instructions for the meditations and exercises are easy to follow. I love the Gates of Speech exercise with the THINK mnemonic. She covers so many topics including generosity, ethics, free will, virtues, values and being mindful. This is a beautifully written book and I recommend it to anyone and everyone that wants to add more compassion to their lives.
