Episode notes

I had a profound conversation with Professor Paul Gilbert OBE, and what struck me most was Paul's raw honesty about how rage, not love, made him compassionate - a perspective that challenges everything we typically associate with compassion.

We dove deep into why compassion is often misunderstood as weakness when it actually requires immense courage. Paul's insights on the evolution of compassion in scientific research over the past 20 years were fascinating, especially how it's reshaping our understanding of mental health and wellbeing. For anyone struggling with self-criticism or feeling vulnerable, this episode offers practical wisdom on developing a compassionate mind.
