Brain Can Be Trained in Compassion, Study Shows
psychologicalscience.org — Until now, little was scientifically known about the human potential to cultivate compassion - the emotional state of caring for people who are suffering in a way that motivates altruistic behavior. A new study by researchers at the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds at the Waisman Center of the University of Wisconsin-Madison shows that adults can be trained to be more compassionate.
@DrKendraCoulter Really disturbing.
@JenPinarski Thank you. I am really happy to be working with @HarperCollinsCa
@JenPinarski I am very lucky. My backlist was recently acquired by @HarperCollinsCa I am also writing new books for them.
@DrKendraCoulter Know a young person who was paid cash (below minimum wage) to work at one retail establishment. Pretty appalling.
@JenPinarski That's the kind of book that really needs to be Canadian, too.
@SaraGMarlowe Congratulations on the launch of your book. It sounds terrific! #mindfulness #eating #kidlit

Eating disorders: how do we improve the body image of our boys and girls?
guardian.co.uk — The news that the number of girls and boys in the UK with eating disorders is on the rise is a timely reminder that we have a body image problem. However, it's not a problem we can hope to solve unless we consider the role that perceptions of gender play in the nation's emotional wellbeing.
@JenPinarski Which book was that?
@skindeepmom Would love to meet you at @PtboWedMarket one week. Can't wait until there's more fresh produce on offer.
