		<description><![CDATA[Last week we examined the many types of love, staked out the landscape, doing the ground-work so that we&#8217;re less likely to be misunderstood. This week we are, of course, introducing a new meditation. This month&#8217;s mediation is designed to help you to increase your ability and tendency to love. In particular &#8220;agapē&#8221;, a general [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week we discussed how to increase agapē, your general compassion for everything. This week we&#8217;ll discuss why you&#8217;d do such a thing. After all, hasn&#8217;t economics and business school taught you that the most selfish, narcissistic, egomaniacal, even Machiavellian, people win the game of life? Get all the money and power and groupies and [...]]]></description>

This week we will discuss why and how it&#8217;s useful to love yourself. The most obvious reason to spend time trying to train your brain into loving yourself is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the west, the word &#8220;karma&#8221; tends to be misused. People assume it means that every good action needs a bad action to balance the yin-yang of life. People think it means that good things happen to good people. They think it means that bad people will be punished, either in this world or in [...]]]></description>

That in these circumstances the forces of natural selection favour the evolution of social emotions, methods which change the behaviour of organisms, and thus the very environment [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This month we have examined karma. We have pointed out that in traditional eastern culture it&#8217;s a measure of good will in society rather than a given individual&#8217;s score, analogous to the total scored in an iterated prisoners dilemma rather than an individual&#8217;s score. Last week we looked at the social emotions which have evolved [...]]]></description>

Whole communities of people manage to live together in relative harmony. This group living gives many advantages over a solitary animal. We can spot danger for each other, feed [...]]]></description>

However, just because something is useful to genetic evolution does not mean it&#8217;s useful to you, personally. [...]]]></description>
