148. Seeing Deeply: Exploring Empathy from How to Know a Person by David Brooks

This is a Sound Bite episode that builds on our previous episode with Bernadette Smith where we talked about Diversity, Equality and Inclusion efforts covering a variety of topics. One of them was about empathy and sincerity. While we have covered this topic with Brené Brown’s book, Atlas of the Heart, I found another which you might find interesting: David Brooks’ book: How to know a Person – the Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen. And in today’s episode I’ll concentrate on his chapter called the Art of Empathy.
