About the book
Psychologist Dacher Keltner leads the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley, and the collection gathers the best essays from its Greater Good magazine on how and why people do good. Robert Sapolsky examines violence among primates, Daniel Goleman makes the case for constructive anger, Steven Pinker asks why there is peace, and Paul Ekman and the Dalai Lama discuss compassion on a global scale. Other pieces deal with forgiveness, moral inspiration and everyday ethics. The writing mixes personal stories with empirical research, and the center behind it has helped lead the positive psychology movement.
Stephen Lew, director of The School of Positive Psychology, recommended it as a resource for building thought leadership, especially in developing wellbeing leaders, and said the compassionate instinct shapes how people choose to connect.

“The Compassionate Instinct” is a great resource for those who wish to enhance their socio-psyche abilities for thought leadership, especially for wellbeing leadership development. The literature probes into the infinite resources of human capital, particularly into avenues of humans’ compassionate instinct. Our compassionate instinct plays a cardinal role in how we choose to connect to others.
