Neuroscience of Compassion, The
“The best way to activate positive-emotion circuits in the brain is through generosity,” Davidson, who founded the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds at University of Wisconsin, Madison, said in a talk at the Aspen Ideas Festival. “This is really a kind of exciting neuroscientific finding because there are pearls of wisdom in the contemplative tradition—the Dalai Lama frequently talks about this—that the best way for us to be happy is to be generous to others. And in fact the scientific evidence is in many ways bearing this out, and showing that there are systematic changes in the brain that are associated with acts of generosity.”

So very disappointing. I didn't realize that this was a lecture when I downloaded it. Painful to listen to. Uh, um uh, he needs Toastmasters or something. His subject is fascinating, uh, but he needs to write it down and um, have someone else read it.
That said, there's some interesting stuff, but there's not a lot here that I haven't read elsewhere. It's like, um, neuroscience for the uninitiated. Ugh.
