Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life Pdf
*Starred Review* It takes courage for a religious historian and writer of Armstrong?s stature to step out from behind the scrim of scholarship and analysis to offer guidelines for a spiritual practice designed to make humanity a kinder and saner species. With the boon of the prestigious TED Prize, Armstrong (The Case for God, 2009) worked with ?leading thinkers from a variety of major faiths? to compose a Charter for Compassion, which calls for the restoration of ?compassion to the heart of religious and moral life? in a ?dangerously polarized? world. Not content with merely stating lofty goals, however, Armstrong, a revered genius of elucidation and synthesis, now tells the full and profound story of altruism throughout human history. She turns to neuroscience and tracks the evolution of our brains and our natural capacity for empathy, and performs her signature mode of beautifully clarifying interpretation in a mind-expanding discussion of the history of the Golden Rule (?Always treat others as you would wish to be treated yourself?), the essence of compassion and the kernel of every religious tradition. Exquisite and affecting explications of Buddhist, Confucian, Judaic, Christian, and Islamic commentary prepare the ground for meditation exercises meant to engender ?open-mindedness? and the cultivation of compassion, making for the most sagacious and far-reaching 12-step program ever. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: A hefty print run is planned for renowned religious thinker Armstrong?s bold approach to teaching the compassionate ethos.
