Back in 2000 James Doty was living the high life. A neurosurgeon turned biotech investor, he drove a Ferrari and was in the process of buying a private island when he lost his fortune in the dot-com bust. Now he is the director of a new research institute he founded to study compassion. Buddhist nun, Thubten Chodron, joins us as we discuss the connections between the scientific and the religious search for compassion.

- James Doty, clinical professor of Neurosurgery, director of Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education at Standford University
- Venerable Thubten Chodron, founder and abbess of Sravasti Abby in Eastern Washington State; author of Open Heart/Clear Mind; Cultivating a Compassionate Heart; Buddhism for Beginners.
