Everyday lessons in cultivating compassion in your life In recent years, western scientists have gained an important understanding of what Buddhist science has taught us for thousands of years: consciously cultivating compassion has a positive impact on our brains and this improves our sense of wellbeing.

It also offers easy-to-follow guidance on how to develop it in your daily life. Living With an Open Heart is a handbook for daily living. The brief chapters contain discussions, reflections and contemplations for you to digest as you go about your day. You will read personal stories and learn specific techniques for developing compassion in your own life. Each chapter will provide you with the inspiration and tools to cultivate compassion in your own life. Russell Kolts is a clinical psychologist and professor at Eastern Washington University.
