The Neuroscience of Compassion_Tania Singer

"Neuroscientist Tanya Singer says that the brain’s plasticity means it can be trained to make us less selfish and more compassionate. She talks about how our decision making is driven by a set of psychological motivations that can be altered to help us make better decisions for society and for our health. Her research has also influenced the development of a new model of “caring economics” that hopes to work towards sustainability and global cooperation."
