"People want to be compassionate, but often they don't know how to go about it." --Karen Armstrong

A 57 second video introduces Armstrong's new Vook, A Compassionate Life in 12 Steps. Short and pithy, let these simple words inspire you. You'll hear a young woman say, "It's time for us to really look within." Do you agree? Could a spiritual director accompany your inner journey of seeking that manifests in compassion for self and others?

Imagine a world of compassion in action. Armstrong does, and teaches us how to go about it. One man tells us, "You gotta be compassionate, man! You can't walk around mad at the world all the time." Indeed! Well, said.

Armstrong is a religious scholar, author, TED Prize winner, and her vision created the worldwide Charter for Compassion.

A vook is a new innovation in reading that blends a well-written book, high-quality video and the power of the Internet into a single, complete story.
