A Radical Buddhist Antidote for Anxiety | John Makransky and Paul Condon

Combining modern science and ancient Buddhism to treat anxiety, anger, and impatience.

John Makransky is a professor of Buddhism and Comparative Theology at Boston College, AND ordained as a Tibetan Buddhist lama. Paul Condon is an associate professor of psychology at Southern Oregon University and a research fellow at the Mind & Life Institute. Both are the authors of How Compassion Works: A Step-by-Step Guide to Cultivating Well-Being, Love, and Wisdom.

• The sales pitch for compassion—even at a time when what most of us really want is for other people to be nicer
• The connection between attachment theory and compassion
• Why compassion is our natural state
• How Sustainable Compassion Training helps you access warmth without forcing it
• How to apply compassion practice to burnout, conflict, and difficult emotions
