This chapter examines 'circles of care' and how people prioritize support for their immediate communities, while also exploring the potential for empathy to extend beyond these boundaries. It discusses the role of storytelling and shared experiences in fostering connection, particularly through examples like sports fandom, and critiques the impact of social media on authentic emotional expression.
Originally aired August 2023: Stanford psychology professor Jamil Zaki shares his research and findings around the science of empathy – and how we can apply this to improving our relationships with colleagues, clients, customers, co-founders, and business and investing cohorts.
Zaki is the director of the Stanford Social Neuroscience Lab, and the author of “The War For Kindness.”
We'll break down the science. We talk about why empathy matters in business, investments, and in career growth, and we’ll discuss its digital age dynamics. How does AI impact the way in which we relate to others?
