Conversations on Compassion with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

The Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education

Project Compassion (The Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education) is striving to create a community of scholars and researchers, including neuroscientists, psychologists, neuroeconomists and contemplative scholars. Drawing from such varied disciplines – from etiological approaches that look at evolutionary roots to the neuroscientific study of the brain mechanisms, and from philosophical and contemplative perspectives to cognitive and social psychology as well as neuroeconomics – Project Compassion is working to gain a deep understanding of compassion and its associated human behaviors in all its richness.
