The great English writer Aldous Huxley was a pioner in the study of philosophies and techniques aimed at developing human potential, including such diverse approaches as Vedanta, psychedelics, bodywork, meditation, hypnotic trance, and Zen. Toward the end of his life, he said, in a lecture, "People often ask me what is the most effective technique for transforming their life. It is a little embarrassing that after years and years of research and experimentation, I have to say that the best answer is—just be a little kinder."From The Power of Kindness: The Unexpected Benefits of Leading a Compassionate Life by Piero Ferrucci, translated from the Italian by Vivien Reid Ferrucci.
