Back Cover A timely book on compassion and its cultivation The Dalai Lama The Buddhist practice of mindfulness first caught on in the West when we began to understand its many practical benefits. Now Thupten Jinpa, PhD, introduces a practice with even greater life-changing power: compassion.

Yet many of us fear it, believing that if we are too compassionate towards others we will be taken advantage of, and if we are too kind to ourselves we will somehow achieve less. A Fearless Heart is based on the landmark course in Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) that Jinpa helped create at Stanford University School of Medicine. Practical, spiritual, and immediately relevant, it draws on Buddhist and Western psychology to offer a programme of simple daily practices that will help you train your compassion muscle for a greater meaning, connection, and fulfillment. Thupten Jinpa draws on his remarkable background and range of knowledge to offer each one of us a practical toolkit for becoming a better human being Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence A Fearless Heart may prove to be one of the important books of these difficult times Richard Gere Flap A timely book on compassion and its cultivation The Dalai Lama The Buddhist practice of mindfulness first caught on in the West when we began to understand its many practical benefits.

Review A Fearless Heart is a rare book that shows how the meeting of contemplative insights and practices with modern science can lead to offerings that are beneficial for everyone interested in deeper personal spiritual transformation. The book shows how such practices can have a positive impact in our daily lives. I applaud my long-time English translator Thupten Jinpa for writing this timely book on compassion and its cultivationI love Jinpas sense of the practical, of bringing compassion down from the pedestal of high ideals and into the messy reality that is every day human life. A Fearless Heart may prove to be one of the most important books of these difficult timesFirmly grounded in the latest scientific studies, and hugely invitational and convincing in its inspiration, its reasoning, its heartfulness and its guidance in a broad range of powerful practices, A Fearless Heart is the bravest, clearest and most engaging book I know on why we need to cultivate compassion, and on how to bring it more widely and deeply into our lives and into the worldThupten Jinpa speaks from his experience as a monk turned family man, and a top-flight scholar, who draws on his remarkable background and range of knowledge to offer each one of us a practical toolkit for becoming a better human being. A Fearless Heart can help anyone nurture the compassion that lies within every heartBrilliantly clear and heartfelt, a potentially life-changing work offering inspiring training. A Fearless Heart is personally moving, eminently practical and visionary in scopeJinpa shows why compassion is not a given within some yet not possible for others, but rather is a quality of the heart that we can all cultivate and expand. If we do that, out lives transform, our families and relationships transform, and our world transformsPart autobiography, part a training manual for a wholesome life and part a beautiful tapestry woven between ancient Buddhist thought and modern science, this book has something for everyone. At its fundamental core, it makes the case for why compassion is so essential for the modern world and offers detailed helpful advice o how it can be cultivatedAs I read A Fearless Heart, I began picturing the possibilities that await us if we safeguard our childrens natural instinct for kindness. Filled with wise insights, research and anecdotes, Jinpa lays out a path for living with compassion and acceptance, both for others, and for ourselves. An essential guide for anyone committed to creating a loving, peaceful world, but a must-read for parents, whose simple interactions with their children will lead to a quiet revolution toward a compassionate world Long Description [A] timely book on compassion and its cultivation The Dalai Lama The bravest, cleverest and most engaging book I know on why we need to cultivate compassion Jon Kabat-Zinn A practical toolkit for becoming a better human being Daniel Goleman Self-compassion is the overlooked key to achieving our goals.
