How Compassion Rewires Your Brain with Dr. James Doty

from High Net Purpose

What if compassion wasn’t just a virtue, but a science that could rewire your brain, reduce stress, and even extend your life expectancy?This conversation is one of our earliest recordings, now released for the first time, with the late Dr. James Doty: Stanford neurosurgeon, New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, and founder of Stanford’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE).Recorded in our early days but never shared until now, this conversation captures Dr. Doty’s extraordinary wisdom on the science and practice of compassion. He explains how compassion rewires the brain, simple self-compassion techniques to silence the inner critic, and why compassionate organisations consistently outperform those built on fear.Along the way, he reflects on his own journey - from losing $80 million at the height of success to finding true fulfilment in service, and the role the Dalai Lama played in shaping his work at Stanford.Dr. Doty’s life was devoted to proving that compassion is not soft, but the foundation of human flourishing. We’re honoured to share this conversation from our archives as a tribute to his enduring legacy.To learn more about Dr Doty's life and legacy, visit: https://www.jamesrdotymd.com/Follow High Net Purpose on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/highnetpurpose Hosted on Acast.
