Summary and Discussion of

Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life by Karen Armstrong.

Karen Armstrong is the author of The Case for God,

A History of God, The Battle for God, and many

other books on world religions. At her TED Prize

speech in 2008, her wish for a better world was a

challenge to religious leaders of all faiths to draft the

Charter for Compassion, now affirmed by 78,123

people all over the world.

In this straight-forward, thought-provoking book, Karen

Armstrong sets out a program that can lead us to a more

compassionate life. She encourages compassion towards an

ever-widening circle, including oneself, and hardest of all,

even towards our enemies.

A more compassionate life could be the antidote to our “me

first” society and would improve all of our relationships.

The book is available from Amazon.com for hardcover

$12.47 [free shipping for orders over $25], paperback $11.09,

and Kindle $9.99.
