Compassion deficit: So many worries about what might be that isn't (Angel City Zen Center)

Standing at The Edge | Joan Halifax

(Talks at Google) This talk is based on Joan Halifax’s book Standing at the Edge: Where Fear and Courage Meet.

Standing... (Joan Halifax, Rebecca Solnit)

The book weaves together scientific research and her own powerful personal experiences as a social activist and humanitarian in prison in New Mexico and high in the Himalayas to show how we can transform our biggest challenges with compassion and wisdom. Halifax’s teachings benefit Google as it takes on big challenges that respect the opportunities before us. Her talk demonstrates how to do this while still maintaining respect for each other through compassion.
