Writer, educator, and activist Dr. Simran Jeet Singh is the executive director for the Aspen Institute’s Religion and Society Program and author of The Light We Give: How Sikh Wisdom Can Transform Your Life. In his work and contemplative talks, he offers a fresh approach to ethical living—one in which love, caring, and service go hand-in-hand with personal happiness. He shares the skills and insights that kept him engaged in his commitment to activism, and how to use compassion as the antidote to anger, self-pity, or social justice burnout.Growing up in Texas as the son of Indian immigrants and a self-described “turban-wearing, brown-skinned, beard-loving Sikh,” Simran Jeet Singh constantly confronted racism, bullying, and ethnic slurs. But, where others may have grown bitter or angry, he looked to the lessons of Sikh teachings he grew up with to seek out the good in every situation and find positive ways to direct his energy. These tenets of love and service to others empowered him to forge a life of connection and a commitment to justice that catapulted him to the national stage in the areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion.For more of Simran:Book: https://www.bookpassage.com/thelightwegiveWebsite: https://simranjeetsingh.orgTwitter: https://twitter.com/simranTo become a patron and help this program continue producing this show, and get access to patron-only events, go to www.patreon.com/hellohuman and pledge any amount.For more of us:Website: www.Hellohumans.coFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/hellohumans.co/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hellohumans.co/Twitter: https://twitter.com/HelloHumans_co
