About this listen
In A Case for Compassion: What Happens When We Prioritize People and the Planet, Sara Schairer—a leader in the compassion field—examines five of our most influential systems: education, health care, corrections, law enforcement, and the workplace. Using personal narratives, research, thought-leader interviews, and examples of compassionate institutions, Schairer shows us that compassion can solve many of our society’s most pressing problems.
You’ll read inspiring stories about examples of compassion, including:
- A neurosurgeon who bucks the system in order to take as much time as necessary with each patient.
- A correctional system with a goal of creating good neighbors.
- A police chief who encourages self-compassion, compassion, and mindfulness among his officers.
- A bakery that bakes brownies in order to hire people, not the other way around.
