Dan Goleman with Larry Brilliant – part 3

“Olympic-level athletes of the heart.”

In the final segment of their discussion, Goleman introduces “empathic concern” and what social neuroloscience has taught us about different individuals’ capacity for compassion. Brilliant expands on these cutting-edge studies with examples from his life that have lead him to observe a distinction between “smart” and “wise” individuals. Finally, Brilliant closes by sharing inspirations from his past that have instilled in him a working model of “Compassionate Capitalism,” and how the tools of the business world can be used to serve the sick and poor.
