Back to Episodes“New Book — Compassionate Purpose: Personal Inspiration for a Better World” by Magnus Vinding
Description
“How are we to live, in a world in which there is so much unnecessary suffering? Magnus Vinding looks unflinchingly at that question, and gives an answer that is realistic, and yet inspiring. Read this book. It may change your life.”
— Peter Singer, author of Animal Liberation
I have just published a book:
What if the point of self-improvement were not just to feel better or get ahead, but to become more capable of helping in a hurting world?
In Compassionate Purpose, Magnus Vinding bridges self-help and ethics with a framework for personal development in service of a larger goal: reducing extreme suffering. From self-compassion and motivation to habits, relationships, and concrete action, this book is a toolkit for building a life that takes suffering seriously without losing hope or direction.
Start where you are. Build a life that helps.
