Dan Goleman with Larry Brilliant – part 2

“True compassion is more in how you look at the world and all of its beings, than just how you look at the one being in front of you.”

More Than Sound presents a discussion between Daniel Goleman and Dr. Larry Brilliant. In this, the second segment of their discussion, Goleman discusses the well-known “Good Samaritan” parable and Brilliant expands on the story with ways in which society as a whole can avoid such trappings. Brilliant points out that the need for compassion and charity extends beyond what lies in our immediate surroundings, and the importance of acting in such a way on a global scale.
