Abigail Marsh: Extraordinary Empathy
Manage episode 424195259 series 2659390
Are some people more empathetic than others? By studying those on the opposite end of the compassion spectrum–those with psychopathy–researcher Dr. Abigail Marsh discovered something surprising.
In this conversation, Kate and Abigail discuss:
- The usefulness of fear
- What it means to be “brave”
- How we can all learn to belong to one another
- The power of empathy (and why it actually feels good to give to others)
This conversation originally aired in 2020, but is one we return to again and again as we think about how empathy expands our capacity for others. Listen for an update from Abigail on what her recent research is exploring.
