Busting the myth that we have survived as a species through stepping on those weaker than ourselves Dr Julian Abel talks to experts each week about how compassion and kindness has always, and continues to, shape humanity. Julian takes the listeners on a journey around the world seeing the impact of intentional compassion, learning about the new research evidencing the impact, and hearing about where it excels; from dance youth groups in the South West of England, to American Psychiatric Association and the DSM, via Bafta winning documentary makers, theatres in Minneapolis, indigenous communities, healthcare professionals, bereaved people, environmentalists, and many many more. The new movement charting how we have survived through reliance on one and other, and on our environment is becoming ever more important in shaping our future. Listen to the many people who are working towards widening our understanding of humanity and looking towards a different world ahead than the one we are traditionally offered.
