Are we lacking empathy in modern society? Have we become so distant from one another that we no longer connect with or “feel” for others?
The charity Empathy Museum is an international travelling project which gives visitors the chance to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes (literally) and see the world through a different set of eyes. Enter a giant shoebox for a transformative experience or visit the library where emotive descriptions invite you to try books you may once have passed on. You can also visit the Human Library which is just like any other library except that the books are people with stories to share.
This quietly powerful film looks at the need for empathy in our society through the eyes of the museum’s participants and the experiences of two Human Library books.

The Empathy Circle flow state is group or community experience! Quite a bit of the emphasis in the work of Csíkszentmihályi is towards the feeling of flow in individuals engaged in solitary activities. In the Empathy Circle the “flow” is experienced as a group or community. As I’m reading Csíkszentmihályi’s book Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience I’m going to be on the look out if the author distinguishes group flow as being different than individual flow.
Empathy Circle Café. Join us on Zoom every Thursday at 6PM PT for an opportunity to be heard, understood, and improve your listening skills.
As a Empathy Circle facilitator trainer last week I experienced an spontaneous teachable moment. The class session was for the student to conduct an empathy circle as facilitator and I would introduce an interruption into the process. The students task was to keep the “flow” going in the circle despite the disruption or challenge.
In our website under, Training References, we have a suggested list of challenges.
Rae Shanahan is the CEO at Innovation Works, and Chief Strategy Officer of Businessolver, Benefits Administration technology. At Innovation Works, they support incubating new business strategies and opportunities focused on delivering delight to our clients and their employees.
In this conversation with Rae, we discuss some of the key findings in the new Businessolver 2023 State of Workplace Empathy, in its 8th annual iteration. We talk about how the survey came to be. We explore why HR managers are feeling so burned out, how to measure empathy, the optimistic bubble of CEOs, why to hold ideas lightly and why empathy is not a weakness, despite what CEOs fear.
Objective: This study examined if empathy was a significant moderator of several empirically established risk factors for sexual violence perpetration among college men. Participants: Data are from 544 college men who participated in a longitudinal study from 2008 to 2011 at a large, public university.
Methods: Participants completed a self-report survey in their first through fourth years in college. A series of generalized linear models were conducted using sexual violence risk factors and empathy during the sophomore year as predictors of sexual violence perpetration frequency during junior year.
Results: Empathy was found to be a significant moderator of six out of the 10 sexual violence risk factors tested, such that high levels of empathy were associated with lower sexual violence perpetration rates among high-risk males.

Introduction: Empathy can be described as the ability to adopt another person's perspective and comprehend, feel, share, and respond to their emotional experiences. Empathy plays an important role in these relationships and is constructed in human-robot interaction (HRI).
This systematic review focuses on studies investigating human empathy towards robots. We intend to define empathy as the cognitive capacity of humans to perceive robots as equipped with emotional and psychological states. Methods: We conducted a systematic search of peer-reviewed articles using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.
by Bai Lu The following leadership strategies may help to keep empathy alive in healthcare despite these challenges.
1. Develop hybrid care models. Leaders should push for models of care that combine telehealth and in-person visits. Technology should be used for routine check-ins and follow-ups, but initial consults and sensitive conversations should be reserved for face-to-face.
2. Emphasize emotional intelligence training. I have always believed in the power of emotional intelligence. Healthcare providers should be equipped not only with technical skills but also with the ability to read and respond to emotional cues. Training programs focused on empathy can help practitioners deliver care that addresses both the medical and emotional needs of patients.
Episode Highlights: – Lidewij Niezink shares her extensive experience in empathy within psychology and her recent ventures into AI. She discusses her work at Hanze University of Applied Sciences (in the Netherlands), where she is pioneering the integration of AI in applied psychology, particularly focusing on the use of large language models and chatbots to enhance students’ learning and professional development.
– Peter van der Putten brings his deep expertise in AI, tracing his journey from the late 1980s to his current roles as an assistant professor at Leiden University and director of the AI Lab at Pegasystems. He delves into the fascinating concept of “artificial x” and how AI can be used to foster meaningful customer interactions.
“When this scared dog needed help, he was met by young people who shot at him and made him even more terrified,” says PETA Senior Director of Youth Programs Marta Holmberg. “Compassion can be cultivated, and TeachKind stands ready to help Etowah County schools teach their students that every sentient being, whether a pup or a peer, deserves empathy and respect.”
Sandy Hook Promise includes cruelty to animals on its “10 Critical Warning Signs of Violence” list, and research shows that approximately 43% of school shooters first committed acts of cruelty against animals—so animal abusers potentially pose a serious threat to communities at large. TeachKind resources are easy to integrate into schools’ existing curricula to help prevent future violence.
by Neel Burton In 1909, the psychologist Edward Titchener translated the German Einfühlung [‘feeling into’] as ‘empathy’. At that time, German philosophers discussed empathy in the context of artistic or aesthetic evaluation, but Titchener proposed that empathy can also help us to recognize one another as minded beings.
Today, empathy might be defined as a person’s ability to identify and share in the emotions of another person, fictional character, or sentient being. Empathy involves two things:
(1) seeing another person’s situation from their point of view, and
(2) feeling, to a greater or lesser degree, the same emotions as they are feeling.
Kawtar El Alaoui is a leadership consultant and coach whose specializations include: Organizational wellness, conscious communication, cross-cultural understanding, diversity and inclusion, gender-balanced leadership and should purpose. She is also the author of Unfolding Peace: 9 Leadership Principles to Create Cultures of Well-being, Belonging, and Peace.
In this episode, she discusses her personal journey to heal from trauma, as well as the “radical empathy” work she does with David Sauvage to end war in two generations.
In this episode, I am please to introduce you to our special guest. Edwin Rutsch, founder of the Empathy Center in Santa Barbara. As Thich Nhat Hanh says in his book *Being Peace,* "The way to peace is the way of understanding."
Edwin truly embodies this philosophy through his dedication to fostering empathy and connection in our community. We'll discuss his journey as a seeker from filmmaking to becoming an empathy advocate and his mission to start the empathy movement from the incredible 35 acre retreat center in Santa Barbara that he manages.
Edwin began his path with Empathy Circles and by setting up Empathy Tents at rallies where protesters on opposite sides ended up hugging it out. He's helped families bridge gaps that seemed impossible to cross, and his Empathy Circles are transforming lives. He's seen firsthand how empathy can foster deeper understanding and bring about genuine change in various settings.
“While the tangible outcomes and business intelligence may be more obvious measures, our clients also appreciate intangibles such as listening skills, empathy, organizational skills and the ability to be calm under pressure,” Allsman said.
In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, traditional leadership paradigms are undergoing a seismic shift. No longer is it enough for leaders to merely possess technical acumen and decision-making prowess. Modern leadership demands a profound understanding of human emotions and the capacity to empathize with others.
This approach, rooted in empathy and emotional intelligence, is becoming the cornerstone of effective leadership in modern times. As organizations navigate the complexities of the global market, the ability to connect with both customers and employees on a personal level, understand their motivations, and foster a supportive environment is proving to be indispensable.

An improv (improvisation) performance can promote empathy in healthcare workers, suggests a new study.
Research from the Rocky Vista University, Edith Cowan University (ECU) and Midwestern University involved 165 students studying healthcare professions. They participated in an improv session and were tasked with several improv activities. Their self-reported empathy scores were assessed at three time points (pre-improv, post-improv and end of semester).
The findings showed that a single one- or two-hour improv session can promote substantial increases in healthcare students’ empathy for one another.
A new study suggests a framework for "Child Safe AI" in response to recent incidents showing that many children perceive chatbots as quasi-human and reliable. A study has indicated that AI chatbots often exhibit an "empathy gap," potentially causing distress or harm to young users. This highlights
When was the last time you practiced purposeful empathy?
It may not be a phrase that immediately springs to mind, but for Anita Nowak, it’s top of mind both personally and professionally.
Nowak first began researching empathy during her PhD studies in the Faculty of Education at McGill University. Her goal was to design curricula that would inspire the next generation of changemakers to seek careers as social impact leaders.
But as she dove deeper into the research, she realized that empathy is our superpower.
“I fell in love with empathy as a skill that we’re born with, and that we can develop over time, to create positive change in the world, in our relationships, our organizations, and our lives,” she said.
I have found some refuge from politics in the timeless moments I spend in Empathy Circles while I’m facilitating each week at our Thursday Empathy Café and participating in one as a trainer each Saturday this month. I say timeless when describing my experience in the circles, because over the years I have been doing circles I have learned how to turn off my reactive mind and be with the flow.
Ask a room full of executives what is empathy and you’ll usually get a bunch of different answers, including someone who talks about walking in the other person’s shoes, as well as some confusion around sympathy and compassion. Ask a room full of experts on sociology and psychology, and the definitions will become far more technical and specific, yet may be equally diverse. You’ll hear about empathic concepts such as:
The research, by a University of Cambridge academic, Dr Nomisha Kurian, urges developers and policy actors to prioritise approaches to AI design that take greater account of children’s needs. It provides evidence that children are particularly susceptible to treating chatbots as lifelike, quasi-human confidantes, and that their interactions with the technology can go awry when it fails to respond to their unique needs and vulnerabilities.
The study links that gap in understanding to recent cases in which interactions with AI led to potentially dangerous situations for young users. They include an incident in 2021, when Amazon’s AI voice assistant, Alexa, instructed a 10-year-old to touch a live electrical plug with a coin. Last year, Snapchat’s My AI gave adult researchers posing as a 13-year-old girl tips on how to lose her virginity to a 31-year-old.
David Sauvage is the Founder of Culture of Healing, the designer of an online course called “The Way of the Empath,” and a performance artist best known for his “empathic readings.” In this episode (Part I of II), he describes his personal journey of healing, what it means to be present to our true feelings, and the liberation that it brings.
