Compassionate World was created by Elizabeth Pyjov at the Stanford University's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education over a decade ago.
Elizabeth saw the impact compassion and self-compassion has on the individual and their community. Alternatively, she also saw that a lack of self-compassion leads to mental health problems, and diminished educational and economic outcomes.
She developed a never-seen-before approach of teaching compassion and self-compassion through a combination of mind science and the latest research. Innovatively using cutting-edge science and ancient wisdom traditions, she creates educational programs that make the world a better place by breaking conventions in society and in the default network of the mind in a way that has never been done before.
The latest mind research and the most important insights from world religions are made accessible, actionable, and interesting to the general public. As a result of the programs, people are kinder to themselves and others in a way that heals them and their communities.
