Brendan Ozawa-de Silva has dedicated his life to helping to educate and share compassion throughout the world. Brendan has two PhDs, has met with His Holiness The Dalai Lama on numerous occasions and is a well-known expert in this, now scientific, field of research. In this episode of Warm Hugs with Suzanne, Brendan and I discuss how he chose this field. We also focus on Hope:    What is Hope?   Why is Hope so important in life?     Is it naive to be hopeful?   And we look at practical tips on how to find hope when we feel helpless.   Find out more about Brendan by googling him.
