How does compassion lead to success? What’s the difference between compassion and empathy and why is it important? Find out in our upcoming lecture, The Science of Compassion. For decades we’ve been told that we must look out for number one. But recent science shows that to achieve durable success, we need to be more than just achievers; we need to be compassionate achievers.

Practicing compassion can have profound benefits on your life such as better relationships, improved intelligence, increased resiliency and much more. Join Longwood University professor and author Dr. Chris Kukk as he discusses Charles Darwin’s insights, the latest neuroscience and pragmatic applications. Find out what this tells us about compassion and how it can help you have a more rewarding life.
