His Holiness, the Dali Lama says: “If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.”
Dacher Keltner, who says that his favorite emotions are compassion and awe, shared that quote at a May 31, 2016, Arts & Letters Live presentation in Dallas.
Dr. Keltner teaches at Berkeley and studies emotions, and he was the scientific consultant for the Pixar movie “Inside Out.”
