Why Compassion Requires Vulnerability

Rapper Rexx Life Raj discovers the power of compassion in every area of his life

After losing both of his parents in the same year, Rapper Rexx Life Raj channelled his grief into his latest album. On tour, he found himself communing with fans who were struggling with grief of their own. For our show, Raj tried a meditation to cultivate more compassion, and discovered that his life was full of compassion practices – like connecting with his fans who were suffering. We also hear from researcher Hooria Jazaieri about the relationship between vulnerability and compassion, why compassion is so critical to our relationships, and the many ways we can cultivate more of it.
