In this episode we learn the difference between empathy and compassion, how empathy can sometimes lead to distress and how strengthening compassion functions as the antidote. Professor Klimecki has extensive knowledge on the subject and here she shares her research findings on how social emotions can be changed and cultivated in the mind through intentional effort. We also discuss how cultivating these mental states can benefit us both as individuals and as a society.
