Transform Yourself and the World Around You Broken, wounded, violent, damaged, divisive—these are some descriptions given to the current global situation. Our world desperately needs the noble, essential quality of compassion to be activated—and will not heal without it. Depending on how we respond, we can increase or decrease the amount of anguish in the world. Only with compassion at the core of humanity's lived experience will we be able to approach one another with true respect and dwell in peacefulness. Explore Personal and Professional Compassion Compassion is a way of life—an inner posture of how to be with suffering, both our own and others, and a desire to move that attitude into action. Compassion involves an 'inside-out' movement. A radical change unfolds in us when compassion becomes a way of life, a transformation as far-reaching as an acorn growing into a tree, an egg producing a chicken, or a caterpillar metamorphosing into a butterfly. Discover Compassion from: Science Medicine Theology Spirituality Sociology Psychology Reflection A question for reflection follows each day's content. These questions will allow you to spend time with the themes of the book and further your personal transformation. Prayer A brief prayer follows each reflection.

Scripture A scripture verse ends each day and to serve as a reminder to animate a particular aspect of compassion throughout the day. Grow in the Kind of Love that Motivated Jesus' Life This book is not about easy answers; nor does it suggest that we can 'fix' the world's suffering or eliminate it entirely from those closest to us. Rather, Boundless Compassion extends an invitation to grow in the kind of love that motivated Jesus to be a compassionate presence. For those wishing to use this book in a more in-depth and integrated way, there are guides for Individual Study, Group Study, and Circles of Compassion (perfect for use after a retreat or conference).
