The Power of Kindness: The Unexpected Benefits of Leading a Compassionate Life - Piero Ferrucci Audiobook
Shared by:hdgdf
“A book after my own heart!”—His Holiness The Dalai Lama
The Power of Kindness is a stirring examination of a simple but profound concept. Piero Ferrucci, one of the world’s most respected transpersonal psychologists, explores the many surprising facets of kindness and argues that it is this trait that will not only lead to our own individual happiness and the happiness of those around us, but will guide us in a world that has become cold, anxious, difficult, and frightening.
Piero Ferrucci warns against the dangers of “global cooling.” As the pace of living grows faster and the impact of new technologies more insistent, communications become hurried and impersonal. The drive for profit overrides the heart. Warmth and genuine presence fade.
In eighteen interlocking chapters, Dr. Ferrucci reveals that the kindest people are the most likely to thrive, to enable others to thrive, and to slowly but steadily turn our world away from violence, self-centeredness, and narcissism- and toward love. Writing with a rare combination of sensitivity and intellectual depth, Dr. Ferrucci shows that, ultimately, kindness is not a luxury in our world but rather a necessity for us all.

Just as long as people understand the clear delineation between empathy and compassion. Empathy *costs* you something, you have to feel something of someone’s plight and recognize them in yourself or yourself in them, and so you take on a certain amount of psychic weight. The people who do engage in empathy over compassion, of professionally as social workers and teachers and charity workers, these people burn out the fastest. Compassion as a blanket attitude, one that you’re merely restoring an unnatural occurence to parity, that of someone else’s lack, as both a duty but also as an attitude, compassion preserves the process of sharing and the potential of mutual aid but doesn’t demand in the same way empathy does. To be compassionate to a plant or a person requires precisely the same attitude, whereas to have empathy for a tree would be honestly exhausting. Does that make sense?

Yeah, but “restoring an unnatural occurrence to parity” is problematic, as nature does not have agency. When we impose our objective values on nature we perceive it to be extremely cruel. But that’s an artificial orientation towards a natural, inevitable dynamic.
Safeguarding & privileging our family & loved ones is prioritised above all else. Societal cooperation & obedience to laws is geared towards this end. This is civilisation - a balance of sacrifice & benefit; we sacrifice absolute licence in order to derive benefit from stability/protection. Our true, vital empathy diminishes as we move beyond kinship groups. It becomes more remote & transactional in character, subordinated to natural interests.
As community continues to decline, this process is exacerbated.
“to have empathy for a tree would be honestly exhausting” - This is what finally tipped Nietzsche over the edge, witnessing the beating of the Turin horse.
