The THOUGHTS and FEELINGS you carry and the CHOICES you make put you on the level of compassion you are mastering. Each level has its unique belief system and PERCEPTIONS of reality. On a spiritual path each level of wisdom and compassion or vibration needs to be EARNED by the INDIVIDUAL.

The fifteenth anniversary reissue of this groundbreaking book has a new foreword and preface to encourage a new generation in a historically and biblically based approach to welfare. William J. Bennett once called it "the most important book on welfare and social policy in a decade. Period." It influenced the Clinton Administration’s welfare reform and deeply affected then-Governor George W. Bush’s policies in Texas. But with the war on terror, the ideas in The Tragedy of American Compassion have taken a backseat. Because it is based on historical successes and ancient wisdom, howe

From leading psychologist Dr. Kristin Neff comes a step-by-step guide explaining how to be more self-compassionate and achieve your dreams in life The relentless pursuit of high self-esteem has become a virtual religion�and a tyrannical one at that. Our ultracompetitive culture tells us we need to be constantly above average to feel good about ourselves, but there is always someone more attractive, successful, or intelligent than we are. And even when we do manage to grab hold of high self-esteem for a brief moment, we can’t seem to keep it. Our sense of self-worth goes up and down li

Kuan Yin, the Compassionate One or literally "the one who sees and hears the cries of the world," is the principal goddess in the eastern firmament. She is centuries older than the Christian Virgin Mary, but connected with her in that in most illustrations she holds a rosary, suggesting purification of the cycle of birth and death, and a willow branch, a symbol of Buddhist virtues. Kuan Yin’s image can be found wherever there are Chinese or Japanese speaking people in the world�in homes, restaurants, workplaces, small urban temples, Buddhist, Taoist, and Shinto shrines�and the ritual of

Ribbon Culture explores the history, meaning, and sociological implications of the popular practice of ’showing awareness’. The book suggests that we see the rise of awareness campaigns in terms of a growing interest in personal displays of compassion in a cultural climate where empathy has become a by-word for authenticity. Not only this, but Ribbon Culture highlights charities’ use of slick awareness campaigns to ’reach’ their target-audience and explores the repercussions of the transformation of charity into a commercial enterprise.

This is a lively, light approach to a deadly serious subject - our lives. It combines humour, radical wisdom, and new culture spirituality to teach the mechanics and spirit of Non-violent Compassionate Communication to cure ’Niceitis’, a hereditary disease. The author has shown that non-violent communication works wonders, in even the roughest of situations. He’s used it with street gangs in San Diego, combined groups of Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland, Palestinians and Israelis in the Middle East, and among the Croats, Serbs, and Muslims of the Balkans during t
