The Kindness Fix: How and Why We Must Build a More Compassionate Society

If a measure of our humanity is how we treat the most vulnerable, our report card is bleak. Our politics is divided, people in need are frequently treated with cruelty, and the systems we built to support others are creaking. Welfare too often fails, sometimes with tragic consequences.

Yet, the help we give to others can be more effective, more accepted, and more just if we cultivate greater levels of compassion to put it at the heart of public life and potentially resolve these challenges.

Join us on 8th May for a conversation with Jason Wood, author of The Kindness Fix and Dean of Arts and Social Sciences at University of Nottingham Malaysia. Jason will explore how the human superpower of compassion can help us to improve our politics, our social connections and the help we give to those most in need.
