Survival of the Fittest... or the Kindest?

In a thought-provoking discussion, Dr. Jamil Zaki, a psychology professor and author of *Hope for Cynics*, debunks the myth that ruthlessness leads to success. He highlights how cooperation and kindness, as seen in both human and animal behaviors, can pave the way for happiness. Delving into the life of mutual aid advocate Peter Kropotkin, Zaki contrasts these ideas with social Darwinism. He shares compelling examples, such as altruism during crises, and advocates for empathetic leadership in business, proving that compassion can be a powerful strategy for resilience and fulfillment.
