The Role of Emotions in the New Economy

Mark O'Mara: "I had a trauma in my child that was abused as a kid, as a young child by a neighbor" He says his mother's brother who was a middle school teacher on the weekends would stay with him and they'd talk. But unlike anyone else, he didn't keep talking, he just listened,. And he had a very, you know, compassionate kind of stance and expression. 'And I just let it all go,'O'Mara says. "'Uncle Marvin' taught us how to understand each other through our own emotions.' The way we can create more equitable communities is if we're able to empathize," writes O'MARA.
