Do you want to manage your stress better using self-compassion?

Join us in a special conversation between two highly distinguished compassion leaders with deep experience in the topics of stress, psychology, neuroscience, contemplative science, self-compassion, health, and wellness.

Dr. Kelly McGonigal is a psychologist whose work shows you how to experience hope, connection, and meaning — even when your life is difficult. We’re proud to have Kelly as one of Compassion Institute’s (CI’s) founding faculty. Through the Stanford Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education, she helped create the Compassion Cultivation Training© (CCT™), alongside Dr. Jinpa.

Kelly is also the author of the international bestseller The Willpower Instinct, The Upside of Stress, and her latest book, The Joy of Movement. Additionally, her TED talk, “How to Make Stress Your Friend” — which reveals how stress can be a catalyst for courage and compassion — is one of the most viewed TED talks of all time.

Dr. Thupten Jinpa is the principal author of Compassion Cultivation Training™ (CCT©) developed while at Stanford University in 2009 and the Building Compassion From the Inside Out two-week self-paced program. A frequent speaker at various international conferences on mindfulness, compassion, and contemplative practice, Jinpa serves as an adjunct professor at the Faculty of Religious Studies at McGill University, Montreal and is the founder and president of the Institute of Tibetan Classics. He has been a core member of the Mind and Life Institute and its Chairman of the Board since January 2012.

You won’t want to miss this discussion between Kelly and Jinpa that will give you key insights on how self-compassion can help you manage your stress.
