How Love Wins:
Fusing Mindfulness & Kindness
Understanding How Mindful Kindness Enhances Life
Its an enormous undertaking to collect experimental, evolutionary, historical, and biological research findings on mindful kindness. It’s another feat to build a case for its multiplying effect on one’s life. Equally enormous, is testing its strength under extreme conditions such as life in prison and finding that the commitment to practice continues under severe duress.
