Over the years I have often wondered if maybe nice guys really do finish last. I am not the most competitive person in the world and sometimes think it has held me back. That makes “The Compassionate Instinct: The Science of Human Goodness” a good read for me. It is made up of short essays which use hard science to tease out the existence, need and desire for compassion in all its forms. There are essays on hope, empathy, forgiveness and the whole continuum of compassionate behaviors in all primates, including humans.

The essay-based format allows for quick dives into the content, so you don’t feel you have to swallow the entire book at one sitting. Time spent thinking about what you have read is important, and almost required, as you delve into some of the deepest aspects of what makes us human.

I first head about this book from an interview with the two of the editors on Tech Nation with Moira Gunn. You can listen to the program using the link below.

The Science of Human Goodness Dacher Keltner, Jason Marsh Psychology Professor and Editor, Greater Good magazine

Dr. Moira Gunn talks with UC Berkeley Psychology Professor, Dacher Keltner and the editor of Greater Good magazine, Jason Marsh, about how humans are naturally programmed to be good and what separates those who are from those who are not.

This is the “pilot” episode of a new series I am working on where I take a few moments at “the end of the day” and think about something that has happened, thoughts that have arisen that day and what lies ahead.

In this first episode, I talk about viruses and my computer consulting clients and also a little bit about how we learn a lot when we reach out to teach others.

At the end of the day Ep. 1 – Viruses and how much we learn when we teach is a post from My Word with Douglas E. Welch
