In education, care, medicine, and social professions, the dimension of the heart is of great importance. It is the heart qualities of compassion and mindfulness that make a significant difference in support services as well as in life in general. Ulrich Pfeifer-Schaupp systematically and comprehensively addresses the multifaceted aspects of the heart side of helping in this book. He practically demonstrates how mindfulness can be effectively implemented in social professions and how helping can be enjoyable, even in environments and structures focused on efficiency and the delivery and sale of services. Helping means not shying away from suffering but confronting it. This book also explores how we can open our hearts to suffering and how it is possible for us to be constantly engaged with pain and distress while still remaining happy.
