This chapter summarizes the major arguments of the book and outlines recommendations for implementation of Compassionate Reasoning in society through measuring its cultivation at the local and global level, including assessment of schools, communities, workplaces, and cities. Educational systems develop cultivation of habits of Compassionate Reasoning at every life stage. Habits of thinking, speaking, and doing are the three areas that help the brain strengthen neural pathways of compassion. Compassionate Reasoning empowers the person or group to move beyond the paralysis of excessive empathy with the pain of others (burnout), but it also helps those who do not feel enough compassion for others. Training in Compassionate Reasoning forms good social and governmental policies as it helps workers, policymakers, diplomats, and law enforcement to successfully confront painful moral dilemmas. A key component of Compassionate Reasoning is a future orientation that opens the mind to new possibilities. |
