Compassion and Resilience
David DeSteno: Compassion is a state to be cultivated. The ability to foster social bonds through aiding others, though taking effort in the short term, is what makes us, both as individuals and as societies, more resilient in the long term.
The past decade has witnessed an explosion of research confirming that what the Dalai Lama said is correct: “Love and compassion are necessities not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.”

David Jakes: Midwest Google Summit
David Jakes: The keynote takes me into new territory, and is a reflection of my new work at The Third Teacher Plus and Cannon Design in Chicago. It’s a brand new presentation, which can be interesting in front of a large audience, but its something I’ve done before and enjoy. It’s my belief that an audience should hear your most current beliefs and ideas in a keynote, and that it should be an honest conversation with the audience. If the delivery is not perfect, that’s ok, because ultimately, the ideas are the most important thing.
Dennis T OConnor‘s insight:
David’s a terrific thinker with a world of experience. Go if you have a chance!
