Why We Need More Empathy - Not Less

from Byline Times Podcast Hosted by Adrian Goldberg

Is the west suffering from too much empathy? The argument has been advanced by Gad Saad in his New York Times best seller Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind , where he argues that excessive empathy from the political left is leading society down a self destructive path. But there is another perspective which argues that we need more empathy not less. Adrian Goldberg hears from Vaughan Smith - a war correspondent and one of the founders of London’s Frontline Club - whose new book The Extraction Pattern stands as a rebuttal of Gad Saad. Produced in Birmingham by Adrian Goldberg and Harvey White.
