There are other good tips here. The tip I'm about to give should be used supplementary: Buy Search Inside Yourself (it's a book about meditation written by an early Google software engineer that invited scientific and Buddhist experts to help him out). Train your compassion by doing the exercises that lead up to Tonglen. Tonglen itself might be too extreme, but he has a milder version of that, that I think is a very good exercise. I think it was something along the lines of: visualize someone's love flowing into you, then feel that you're multiplying that love by 10 and then give it all back to the person you just got it from. The second exercise is to look at random people (or known people) and wish them the very best, but be specific about it, make it as personal and specific as possible. What these 2 exercises do is that they create habits, habits to think about others. When you go about your daily life, you'll notice yourself doing this automatically at a subconscious level at some point. There's a reason I named my username after this. Disclaimer: I'm a lazy meditator :( but it does work! And it did have lasting changes.
