Sustaining compassion during difficult times requires tapping into what compassion science reveals as pure, unlimited love. The science of altruism tells us that unlimited love is available to us as an unlimited resource. Channeling and sharing love nourishes us and activates the brain's reward and attachment systems, generating positive biological feedback. Love research shows that it provides a profound source of inner peace that stabilizes and sustains us through any crisis.

To discover the infinite potential of pure love, Harvesting Happiness Podcast host Lisa Cypers Kamen continues her conversation with Stephen G. Post, the Founding Director of the Center for Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care, and Bioethics at Stony Brook University Renaissance School of Medicine.

Stephen dissects the seven pathways to inner peace from his book, Pure Unlimited Love: Science and the Seven Paths to Inner Peace, translating these principles into daily practices that deepen our connection with others.
