Our article on compassionate love

[Attached @AttachedPodcast]

We discuss how valuable it can be (for yourself!) to practice compassion for others, and focus on caring for others! And, that #love is bigger than romantic relationships - and it doesn't become less important as we age!

📖 Next: an Academic Deep Dive into research on compassionate love! A new study led by Dr. Eva Kahana @cwru explores how we feel this kind of love, w/ a focus on the good of the other, caring, trust, & understanding, & how compassionate love can be good for our #mentalhealth!
