"Those who read and, more importantly, try out the compassion exercises as outlined by [Tana] Pesso and her teacher, the late Nyingma Buddhist leader [Penor] Rinpoche, may find a marked increase in empathy and good will. Most of the practices are inner visualizations which involve bestowing possessions to others, acknowledging the pain of people and animals, or picturing strangers as nurturing mothers in a past life. The authors emphasize that a belief in reincarnation isn't a prerequisite; these are simply thought exercises aimed at expanding the heart. Building on the compassionate inner meditations are chapters that apply the practices to strangers encountered in daily life.... Prior to undertaking each of the 40 exercises readers are instructed to 'first invite love in,' an elegant opening sequence which involves identifying and accessing a spiritual support figure."—Publishers Weekly
