Oprah's Super Soul Sunday: Oprah & Karen Armstrong
Twelve Steps to Compassion Compassion" airs Sunday, December 1 at 11 a.m. ET/PT on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network
Oprah sits down with bestselling author and TED prize winner Karen Armstrong who shares her groundbreaking insights into the world's great religions. After conducting decades of research, Karen reveals the thread that she says is common to all the world's great religions: compassion. In our perilously divided world, she says we need to live more compassionately now more than ever. In her book: Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life, Karen outlines simple practices anyone can do in hopes of making a lifelong commitment to creating a more harmonious world. Whether you're waiting in line at the supermarket or sitting at your desk at the office, we all can put ourselves in another person's shoes and offer them our understanding and respect. Check the Super Soul website for exact time in your location. The show will be repeated on December 8 and archived after that. Twitter questions and comments: #SuperSoulSunday.

At the heart of the Charter of Compassion International movement are our city campaigns. The Charter has inspired people in communities and institutions around the globe!

Bring compassion to your community. Learn more about the City Campaigns on our website and sign up your community now! We currently have over 180 city initiatives in 32 countries.

Help Us Start a New Charter for Compassion Sector: The Environment
