The United States has nearly perfected the focus on “self” over the common good; in violation of our very nature. We see it in “civil” society, business models, advertising, diplomacy, and politics. The result is inner conflict leading to personal, relational and societal breakdown as well as separation from and destruction of our natural systems. Compassion provides a way through.
Panelists: Tom Eddington, Jennifer Nadel, James Doty, Jennifer Nadel Marianne Williamson & Carson Kelly
Jennifer Nadel is a writer and award winning journalist based in London.
Nadel qualified as a barrister and was called to The Bar (Middle Temple) in 1996 before turning to journalism. After a year at the American network ABC News' London bureau she moved to the BBC where she reported for national television and radio. Nadel was a lobby correspondent for the BBC's Parliamentary Unit.
Her most recent book, How Compassion Can Transform Politics, Economy and Society, co-edited with Matt Hawkins and published by Routledge in 2022 is a collection of essays from leading academics and experts across disciplines ranging from philosophy, history, and climate science to criminology, business and politics.
Nadel has contested several elections at local and national level as a candidate for the Green Party. In 2014, she stood in the Bryanston and Dorset Square ward on Westminster City Council, coming seventh (representing the third-placed party after the Conservative and Labour candidates). In the general election of 2015, she stood as a parliamentary candidate for Westminster North, coming fifth. In the 2017 election, she was a candidate in neighboring Kensington, when she came fourth. In the 2016 London Assembly election, Nadel stood in West Central, finishing in third place.
In 2022, Nadel was invited to set up the US based Global Compassion Coalition by the American neuropsychologist, Dr Rick Hanson. The organization already has a global reach in the millions and the Coalition’s supporters include politicians, academics and spiritual leaders including the Dalai Lama. In addition to establishing the organization alongside Hanson she chairs its 20 plus strong global Board and presents its events program
