Hope for Cynics: How to Cultivate Kindness w/ Dr. Jamil Zaki

<p>In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Jamil Zaki, a psychology professor at Stanford University and director of the Stanford Social Neuroscience Lab. We discuss the critical role of empathy and kindness in today's world, the importance of narrative in driving empathy, and the distinction between hope and optimism. We also explore how empathy can be a double-edged sword, leading to burnout if not managed properly. We then dive into temperament differences, the role of self-compassion, and even family practices like “positive gossip” that make kindness contagious.</p><p><br></p><p>I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!
