A timely book with the growing recognition in science, psychology and business of the important function of empathy and the painful consequences of the lack of empathy. Shantigarbha shows the essential links between mindfulness, empathy and compassion as expressions of a well integrated heart and mind. This book is essential reading for those who wish to explore this important area of inner work. - Christopher Titmuss, Insight Meditation teacher, co-founder of Gaia House retreat centre

An excellent book on empathy that teases out the centrality of this value in Buddhism as the foundation for the cultivation of compassion and loving kindness. - Stephen Batchelor, Buddhist teacher and author, co-founder of Sharpham College

Written with clarity and sensitivity, I'll Meet You There is clear-sighted in its approach to healing and transformation. I encourage all who pick up this book to read it cover to cover.’ - Claude AnShin Thomas, Zen Buddhist Monk and Author of At Hell’s Gate, A Soldier’s Journey from War To Peace

I'll Meet You There is a wise, unique and beautifully written history of empathy and why empathy is important in experiencing compassion. This is a book for anyone who wants hope for living in a peaceful, humane world, and who wants a guide for how to get there. - Mary Mackenzie, M.A., Author of Peaceful Living: Daily Meditations for Living in Peace, Healing and Compassion

In this comprehensive, well researched book, Shantigarbha invites you to explore the topics of empathy and compassion through the lens of mindful awareness and empathic practice. Rich with examples and exercises, reading this book has inspired a vision of a world where compassion and empathic presence is embodied by all of humanity. - Sylvia Haskvitz, M.A., R.D., CNVC Certified Trainer, Consultant and Author of Eat by Choice, Not by Habit

Although this book is consistent with the scientific data it is also refreshingly unconstrained by it. Instead it synthesises scientific knowledge to date with age old wisdom from the Buddhist tradition. This approach allows for deeper exploration of empathy and compassion than science, which only scratches the surface. - Dr Emma J Lawrence, former Lecturer in Cognition and Neuroimaging, Department of Psychological Medicine, Institute of Psychiatry, London
