In this week's lesson, we will talk about  altruism and compassion. 

We'll hear about the science behind the importance of altruism and compassion for our own well-being, as well as the barriers to altruism and the risk of falling into empathy fatigue. 

We will also discuss how to overcome these barriers with the transformative practices of shared identity and turning values into actionable deeds.
