Published on Jun 23, 2015 | 272 Pages
The Dalai Lama and the New York Times bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence present a revelatory and inspiring work that provides a singular vision for transforming the world in practical and positive ways.
“An optimistic and thoughtful primer with practical applications.”—Booklist
For more than half a century, the Dalai Lama has guided us along the path to compassion and taught us how to improve our inner lives. A Force for Good combines his central concepts, empirical evidence that supports them, and true stories of people who are putting his ideas into action—showing how harnessing positive energies and directing them outward has lasting and meaningful effects. Daniel Goleman details the science of compassion and how this singular guiding motivation has the power to:
• break such destructive social forces as corruption, collusion, and bias
• heal the planet
• reverse the tendency toward systemic inequity
• replace violence with dialogue
• counter us-and-them thinking
• create new economic systems that work for everyone
• design schooling that teaches empathy, self-mastery, and ethics
Poignant, motivating, and highly persuasive, A Force for Good shows how every compassion-driven human act—no matter how small—is integral for a more peaceful, harmonious world.
