One of the most beloved and trusted mindfulness teachers in America offers a lifeline for difficult times: the RAIN meditation, which awakens our courage and heart Tara Brach is an in-the-trenches teacher whose work counters today's ever-increasing onslaught of news, conflict, demands, and anxieties--stresses that leave us rushing around on auto-pilot and cut off from the presence and creativity that give our lives meaning. In this heartfelt and deeply practical book, she offers an antidote: an easy-to-learn four-step meditation that quickly loosens the grip of difficult emotions and limiting beliefs. Each step in the meditation practice (Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture) is brought to life by memorable stories shared by Tara and her students as they deal with feelings of overwhelm, loss, and self-aversion, with painful relationships, and past trauma--and as they discover step-by-step the sources of love, forgiveness, compassion, and deep wisdom alive within all of us.

Leadership is hard. How can you balance compassion for your people with effectiveness in getting the job done? A global pandemic, economic volatility, natural disasters, civil and political unrest. From New York to Barcelona to Hong Kong, it can feel as if the world as we know it is coming apart. Through it all, our human spirit is being tested. Now more than ever, it's imperative for leaders to demonstrate compassion. But in hard times like these, leaders need to make hard decisions—deliver negative feedback, make difficult choices that disappoint people, and in some cases lay people off. How do you do the hard things that come with the responsibility of leadership while remaining a good human being and bringing out the best in others? Most people think we have to make a binary choice between being a good human being and being a tough, effective leader. But this is a false dichotomy. Being human and doing what needs to be done are not mutually exclusive. In truth, doing hard things and making difficult decisions is often the most compassionate thing to do. As founder and CEO of Potential Project, Rasmus Hougaard and his longtime coauthor, Jacqueline Carter, show in this powerful, practical book, you must always balance caring for your people with leadership wisdom and effectiveness. Using data from thousands of leaders, employees, and companies in nearly a hundred countries, the authors find that when leaders bring the right balance of compassion and wisdom to the job, they foster much higher levels of employee engagement, performance, loyalty, and well-being in their people. With rich examples from Netflix, IKEA, Unilever, and many other global companies, as well as practical tools and advice for leaders and managers at any level, Compassionate Leadership is your indispensable guide to doing the hard work of leadership in a human way.

One of the most original thinkers on the role of religion in the modern world—and the bestselling author of such acclaimed books as A History of God, Islam, and Buddha—now gives us a thoughtful, and thought-provoking book that can help us make the world a more compassionate place. Karen Armstrong believes that while compassion is intrinsic in all human beings, each of us needs to work diligently to cultivate and expand our capacity for compassion. Here, she sets out a program that can lead us toward a more compassionate life. The twelve steps Armstrong suggests begin with “Learn About Compassion” and close with “Love Your Enemies.” In between, she takes up “compassion for yourself,” mindfulness, suffering, sympathetic joy, the limits of our knowledge of others, and “concern for everybody.” She suggests concrete ways of enhancing our compassion and putting it into action in our everyday lives, and provides, as well, a reading list to encourage us to “hear one another’s narratives.” Throughout, Armstrong makes clear that a compassionate life is not a matter of only heart or mind but a deliberate and often life-altering commingling of the two.

"This book makes a significant contribution to the need for compassion in the 21st century neoliberal university. Compassion is a process that involves: (i) noticing that suffering is present in an organization; (ii) making meaning of suffering in a way that contributes to a desire to alleviate it; (iii) feeling empathic concern; and (iv) taking action. There is increasing recognition of the crucial role of compassion as a core concern in education, health and social care, and globally to ensure the future sustainability of humankind and the planet. Drawing upon a wide range of interdisciplinary, theoretical and professional perspectives-including social sciences, modern Darwinism, intersectionality, higher education policy, and organization studies-the book addresses the key challenges facing 21st century universities. For example, intersectionality and higher education, staff and student health and well-being, and responding to global challenges such as the coronavirus pandemic. The book is relevant to university leaders, policy makers, educators, researchers, university staff and students aspiring to develop their own understanding of the role of compassion in professional life. It is an important marker of the compassion turn in higher education and what this means for contemporary academic leadership, followership, and pedagogical practice"--

One of the myths in business is that people resist change. Not everybody resists change. And the ones who do, don't resist the change, but the tensions that come with change. As a consequence, the first step is to see in which vibe an individual or team resides. Is that the negative or neutral vibe then change will usually be considered as negative. If it is the positive or inspiring vibe, then change is welcomed as an opportunity. In the positive and inspiring vibe people are also willing to enthusiastically pursue goals and contribute to the purpose of the organization. The reason that tensions by people in the negative or neutral vibe are considered as negative and why they get stuck in those vibes, is that they don't know how to deal with the tensions. They don't have any tools or techniques at their disposal. The key to successfully working together and reaching the goals of (change) projects is first raise the vibe in the day-to-day operations. And only then implement large or small change projects. The book The Compassionate Leader provides you with the right tools: The D.U.E.T. framework includes techniques to solve the different kinds of tension (practical, personal or interpersonal). As a consequence, the vibe of an individual or team rises automatically. A specific approach for leaders and coaches to facilitate others in this process: Compassionate Leadership. The tools, techniques and insights are presented via the practical case of the fictitious company Gizmo Objects Inc. in which the story of manager Catherine shows how step by step the space is created for the inspiring vibe, where results and well-being reinforce each other. The Compassionate Leader is the fourth book of Jan Vermeiren, who received worldwide recognition with his books Let's Connect! and How to REALLY use LinkedIn. With his current company he supports leaders and coaches to become Compassionate Leaders who guide individuals and teams into the inspiring vibe.
