I came across this speech on the blogosphere. It was written by the Jeremy Adam Smith, senior editor of the Magazine Great Good, an online publication whose mission is described as follows on their site: "Greater Good highlights ground breaking scientific research into the roots of compassion and altruism. It fuses this science with inspiring stories of compassion in action, providing a bridge between social scientists and parents, educators, community leaders, and policy makers."
This speech was given as a talk to nurses of UC Berkeley Health Services on surviving compassion fatigue.
Low impact disclosure: Just a warning before you read it: the first portion of the speech describes a brief but violent attack (the author was mugged which is the beginning of the story) and some of you may not want to read it for that reason.
