Hello, beautiful souls! In this episode, we have the insightful Jamil Zaki, author of "Hope for Cynics: The Surprising Science of Human Goodness." Jamil shares his profound journey of studying human goodness and the personal struggles that led him to write this book. His story is one of resilience, hope, and the power of human connection.

Jamil, a neuroscientist and psychologist, has spent over 20 years researching compassion and kindness. Despite his findings that our brains are built for kindness and cooperation, he admits to struggling with cynicism in his personal life. This book was born out of his desire to reconcile his scientific knowledge with his personal feelings. He discusses the rise of cynicism in society, the impact of media and social media on our perceptions, and the importance of trust and connection. Whether you're navigating a challenging time or seeking a deeper understanding of human goodness, Jamil's journey offers valuable insights into how hope and connection can transform our lives.
