I am so glad you could join us. I'm your host Mo Gaudet. This podcast is nothing more than a conversation between two good friends sharing inspiring life stories and perhaps

some nuggets of wisdom along the way.

This is your invitation to slow down with us.

Welcome to slow more. Today's guest is Dr. James Dotty, professor of neurosurgery at

Sanford University School of Medicine, and the founder and director of the Center for Compassion and

Altarism, Research and Education.

This is the center that His Holiness that the Lyleama is the founding

benefactor of.

And James is considered one of the leading experts on the

neuroscience of compassion. Having overcome challenging childhood himself,

he has achieved an incredible level of success in becoming a

spokesperson for the concept from a scientific point of view.

He is a neurosurgeon, a neuroscientist, an entrepreneur, a New York Times best-selling author.

He's an inventor, he's a philanthropist.

He is the author of Into the Magic Shop, a neuroscience quest to discover the mysteries of the brain and the

secrets of the heart.

This is a book that has been translated into 36 languages around the world and was a New York Times bestseller,

along with being a bestseller in so many places around the world.

Definitely an authority on compassion and neuroscience.

So we're gearing up for a very exciting conversation today.

James, thank you so much for being with me today.

It's such an honor.
