Curious Minds at WorkCM 174: Michael McCullough on the Kindness of StrangersHow did humans, a species of self-centered apes, come to care deeply about complete strangers?
From an evolutionary standpoint, we shouldn't be kind to strangers. Yet, history shows, time and again, we are.
Scientists see it as a puzzle to solve. Michael McCullough, Professor of Psychology at the University of California, San Diego, believes it's what sets us apart. He says, "[We] love to talk about ways in which humans are biologically unique, and there's a million ways. But I really do think that our regard for strangers, absolute strangers, is one of them."

If you sense we're less empathetic today than decades past, you're right. Studies show there's been a 48 percent decline in empathy between 1979 and 2009. Though human beings are wired to care about each other, we need the right conditions for those feelings to grow.
Jamil Zaki, author of the book, The War for Kindness: Building Empathy in a Fractured World, argues that a shift to online interactions and urban living has made relationships more "narrow, transactional, and anonymous." He explains that in this kind of environment...2019-11-2556 minCurious Minds at WorkCM 140: Elizabeth Segal on Why We Need Social EmpathyHow is our lack of social empathy affecting millions of people in surprising, unexpected ways?
To maintain and deepen our relationships with other individuals, we need empathy. To craft policies that effectively serve entire groups, we need what Elizabeth Segal, author of the book, Social Empathy: The Art of Understanding Others, refers to as social empathy.
Yet for most of us, social empathy is a blind spot, one with often devastating consequences when it comes to public policies in areas like, education, healthcare, and politics. For example, Elizabeth points to Hurricane Katrina as an example of how a lack of soci...2019-07-3039 min

In-beat-ween sessionsIn-beat-ween session 51Вот и новый выпуск In-Beat-Ween Sessions, который суммирует мои наиболее яркие впечатления, духовные поиски и переживания последних 2-х месяцев (ну или около того), включая поездку на фестиваль SunceBeat 4 (Southport Weekender) в Хорватии. Об участии в фестивале можно говорить бесконечно долго и восторженно - и некоторые из вас уже испытали это на себе во время личной встречи))). Помимо большого количества фото в Instagram, Facebook и Вконтакте здесь есть краткий отчет о запомнившихся музыкальных моментах фестиваля по версии меня и команды Groovement Soul, Дублин. В 51-й выпуск вошли эксклюзивные композиции с готовящихся к выпуску пластинок Karizma, Soul Renegades, She's So Rad (WNP), Lost Midus (Tru Thoughts); некоторые вещи из моего сета на The Beach Stage (SunceBeat 4), о которых многие спрашивали: Dwayne Morgan - Everything (Yam Who Re-edit), Moplen - Let No Man Put Us Under (Remix); новинки лейблов Mahogani Music, GAMM, Rebirth; свежий материал Atjazz & Jullian Gomes, Kon, Lone, Omar; редкая буги и фьюжн-классика от Steve Parks, Time Spectrum, George Duke (R.I.P.) и многое-многое другое! Приятных музыкальных открытий! Warning: File under serious bitter-sweet romantic vibes! Artist / Track / Label1. Linkwood Family - Miles Away / Firecracker2. Mark Hand - Never Forget / Signals3.
