Compassion : Concepts, Research and Applications
Paul Gilbert brings together an international line-up of leading scholars and researchers in the field to provide a state-of-the-art exploration of key areas in compassion research and applications.Compassion can be seen as a core element of prosocial behaviour, and explorations of the concepts and value of compassion have been extended into different aspects of life including physical and psychological therapies, schools, leadership and business. While many animals share abilities to be distress sensitive and caring of others, it is our newly evolved socially intelligent abilities that make us capable of knowingly and deliberately helping others and purposely developing skills and wisdom to do so.This book generates many research questions whilst exploring the similarity and differences of human compassion to non-human caring and looks at how compassion changes the brain and body, affects genetic expression, manifests at a young age and is then cultivated (or not) by the social environment.Compassion: Concepts, Research and Applications will be essential reading for professionals, researchers and scholars interested in compassion and its applications in psychology and psychotherapy.

What is compassion?
Compassion is the ability to understand and empathize with the suffering of others, and to take action to alleviate that suffering. It involves a deep sense of caring and a desire to help others in need, without judgment or expectation of anything in return. Compassion is rooted in kindness, empathy, and a genuine concern for the well-being of others, and it often leads to acts of kindness and support for those who are struggling.
-
Compassion or Love?
Compassion and love are both important emotions, but they serve different purposes. Compassion is the ability to understand and empathize with someone's suffering, and it often leads to acts of kindness and support. Love, on the other hand, is a deep emotional attachment and affection for someone, often leading to a desire for their happiness and well-being. While both are valuable, compassion can be seen as a precursor to love, as it involves understanding and caring for others without necessarily having a personal connection. Ultimately, both compassion and love are essential for creating a caring and supportive community.
-

The Neuroscience of Learning and Development : Enhancing Creativity, Compassion, Critical Thinking, and Peace in Higher Education
Is higher education preparing our students for a world that is increasingly complex and volatile, and in which they will have to contend with uncertainty and ambiguity?Are we addressing the concerns of employers who complain that graduates do not possess the creative, critical thinking, and communication skills needed in the workplace?This book harnesses what we have learned from innovations in teaching, from neuroscience, experiential learning, and studies on mindfulness and personal development to transform how we deliver and create new knowledge, and indeed transform our students, developing their capacities for adaptive boundary spanning.Starting from the premise that our current linear, course-based, educational practices are frequently at odds with how our neurological system facilitates learning and personal development, the authors set out an alternative model that emphasizes a holistic approach to education that integrates mindful inquiry practice with self-authorship and the regulation of emotion as the cornerstones of learning, while demonstrating how these align with the latest discoveries in neuroscience.The book closes by offering practical ideas for implementation, showing how simple refinements in classroom and out-of-classroom experiences can create foundations for students to develop key skills that will enhance adaptive problem solving, creativity, overall wellbeing, innovation, resilience, compassion, and ultimately world peace.Co-published with ACPA – College Student Educators International

Can compassion be inappropriate?
Compassion can be inappropriate in certain situations, such as when it enables harmful behavior or perpetuates a cycle of dependency. For example, giving money to someone with a substance abuse problem may seem compassionate, but it can actually enable their addiction. Additionally, showing compassion to someone who has caused harm without holding them accountable for their actions can be inappropriate. It's important to consider the broader impact of our compassion and ensure that it is truly helpful and supportive in the long run.
-
How does compassion arise?

Compassion is often cultivated through personal experiences of receiving kindness and support, as well as through practicing mindfulness and actively engaging in acts of kindness and generosity towards others. It can also be fostered through education, cultural values, and social norms that emphasize the importance of caring for others.

Can animals feel compassion?
Animals are capable of displaying behaviors that can be interpreted as compassion. For example, there have been instances of animals showing empathy towards others in distress, such as comforting a fellow animal that is injured or in pain.

Can one unlearn compassion?
It is unlikely that one can completely unlearn compassion, as it is a fundamental aspect of human nature. However, external factors such as trauma, negative experiences, or societal influences can suppress or diminish one's ability to express compassion. With self-awareness, introspection, and intentional effort, it is possible to reawaken and nurture one's capacity for compassion. Through practices such as empathy-building, mindfulness, and engaging in acts of kindness, individuals can cultivate and strengthen their compassionate nature.
