What happens on one side of the world has a rippling effect throughout. You can see this with the 2008 financial crisis, and with unrest in the Middle East and the Ukraine. Now more than ever we need a societal shift that increases our global compassion on an individual and a national level.
That’s why the present is an ideal time for Paul Ekman, author and researcher with over 100 published articles, to release his book Moving Toward Global Compassion which hit book stores in March and was published by the Paul Ekman Group.
In Moving Toward Global Compassion Ekman explains the importance of altruism in our increasingly globalized world. Ekman also discusses the different types of global compassion, and how we can increase global compassion—a chapter everyone should read. Ekman has also spent dozens of hours with Dalai Lama and talks substantially about the time he spent with such an influential man.
