Now that nobody in their right mind really believes in the goaty old Devil, all hooves and pitchfork, Hitler is our benchmark of evil. Yet we don't know what the word means. It's self-referential. What was Hitler? Evil. What's evil? It's what Hitler was.
Baron-Cohen's "new theory of cruelty" is that there is also a spectrum of empathy, and at the far end of that spectrum, evil - cruelty - lies.
Dig into different strategies that can improve your listening skills so you can become a high quality listener.
It’s easy to tell when someone’s not paying attention, but it can be surprisingly tricky to know what good listening looks like. Good listening is one of the most important things we can do to improve our relationships, develop our worldview, and potentially change people’s minds. So what can we do to become better listeners? Dig into different strategies that can improve your listening skills.
Active listening makes the other person feel important in addition to generating more empathy towards what they are telling you, knowing how to listen increases social relationships
What’s next? Integrating empathy, technology and data Viewing patient experience and HCP wellbeing through an empathetic lens will amplify positive outcomes for both. Service design provides a valuable tool to understand both aspects more holistically, allowing us to dive deeper into the key moments that matter, and build human-centred strategies focused on the most important element of healthcare: the people. This will ensure a lasting positive impact across the healthcare ecosystem as a whole.
As technology continues to grow exponentially, we must be mindful to use it to enhance human connections, not replace them. Simply applying technology because it's available, and without a strategic approach, will not solve problems. By channelling its power through a human-centred lens, we can craft intuitive and seamless experiences to unlock its true potential for improving the human experience.

The presence of empathy is incredibly important for all relationships. It lets us see past ourselves and spend time in the shoes of the other person, seeing the issue from their perspective, emotions, and triggers. For many couples, difficulty seeing each other is at the root of their conflicts.
Whenever something comes up, they get stuck in the hurt, resentment, or anger that their partner’s actions create in them, based on their perceptions of the situation without being able to see their partner’s side. Being able to acknowledge both your feelings and your partner’s needs is key to managing relationship conflict.
mi perspectiva de la empatía en la resolución de conflicto radica en su capacidad para transformar situaciones difíciles en oportunidades para el entendimiento mutuo fortalece las relaciones ,construye confianza y transforma tensiones en oportunidades de crecimiento .
The Power Of Empathy In Leadership Empathy isn't a feel-good, kumbaya moment that has no place in business; it's an essential skill, especially during times of crisis. Neuroscience backs this up, as I know from my education in psychiatry. Empathy activates the same brain regions involved in social bonding and trust. When leaders show empathy, they engage the parts of their teams' brains that build human connection. This fosters not just a healthier environment but also a motivated, resilient team.
So why is empathy dismissed in the corporate world? I often see pushback against empathy—that it's "soft" or "unnecessary" or that it lacks business value, especially when efficiency and performance are the only metrics valued.
Ask your speaker to explain their perspective and why they feel so strongly. Listen, without interruption, putting aside judgements, counter-arguments and solutions
Summarise the core of what you have heard and check you have understood correctly, including the emotions and texture of their story. This does not mean you have to agree
Ask whether they agree with your summary. If not, ask them to explain more
Continue with this process till the speaker gives a resounding "Yes." They should at this point be likely to listen to your side of the story
Empathy has a multidimensional structure, consisting of cognitive empathy and emotional empathy. Cognitive empathy refers to the ability to infer others’emotional states and understand their feelings and emotions. Emotional empathy refers to the ability to indirectly experience and share the emotions of others13,14,,15.
Empathy is an important social emotional skill, and the improvement of empathy levels can stimulate the development of prosocial behaviour and enable appropriate responses to others’emotions. Compared to typical children, children with IDD face obstacles in understanding and expressing empathy and its various components1617.
As a result, many children with IDD struggle to form and maintain interpersonal relationships, leading to a lack of intimate and meaningful social connections18. Although there are differences in empathy among children with different symptoms19, it still affects their social development.
Studies have demonstrated that empathy can be enhanced through training20. Empathy training within a school setting can be classified into different categories, including experiential training (where instructors facilitate “experiences” such as games and role-playing), didactic (based on lectures), skill training (involving lectures, demonstrations, and practice), and mixed methods21

The Importance Of Empathy But what exactly is empathy? In effect, it’s the ability to understand the feelings or viewpoints of someone else. It’s much more than sympathy.
Jamil Zaki, a research psychologist at Stanford University who works with business leaders and authored The War for Kindness: Building Empathy in a Fractured World, says, "One of the first hurdles I need to get over is this stereotype that empathy is too soft and squishy for the work environment." This stereotype is easy to disprove, and there are decades of evidence proving that empathy is a powerful asset in the workplace, what Zaki calls a "superpower."
The best word to describe Dr. Natalie Petouhoff is multi-faceted. Here’s why: She holds a PhD in material science and engineering - which means she’s a legit rocket scientist. She recently spent time with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, working on a documentary. Finally, she’s a consultant who helps companies leverage empathy for business success. See what I mean?
Since childhood, Natalie has been curious about human relationships. Today, armed with the left brain bona fides to critically analyze the world, she has become an empathy expert who wants to improve human relations and social cohesion through empathy.

When leaders use empathy, they manipulate the masses better, since they use emotion to achieve their goal, example from Michel Obama's speech. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjaiEEz0CFk
Bridging differences starts with empathy, active listening, and shared values.
Misunderstanding opponents fuels division; reducing this can foster unity and harmony.
Empathy-based dialogues help people find common ground and build lasting relationships.
I’ve had enough. In today’s world, it seems division is the norm. Whether it’s political ideologies, social justice debates, or cultural differences, we’ve grown increasingly adept at pointing fingers. We fall into black-and-white thinking, believing our perspective is morally superior while dismissing the nuances of others’ experiences.

Why ENFJs can struggle with too much empathy ENFJ stands for extroverted, intuitive, feeling, and judging, and with just 2.5% of the population falling under this type, it's one of the rarest ones out of the 16 personalities. They're a very friendly and outgoing type, but they can also struggle when it comes to putting their own needs before others' needs.
Summary: Frontotemporal dementia, affecting about 3% of dementia patients in Sweden, is characterized by a loss of empathy that challenges patients and their families.
Using functional MRI, researchers found that patients showed no activation in brain networks associated with empathy when viewing distressing images, unlike healthy individuals. This lack of brain activity strongly correlated with caregivers’ assessments of reduced empathy, confirming a link between brain function and behavior.
The findings may improve understanding of this condition and help distinguish it from other psychiatric disorders with similar symptoms, like psychopathy.
Research on Brain Activity and Empathy Every year, approximately 25,000 people in Sweden are diagnosed with dementia, with around 3% of these cases identified as frontotemporal dementia. This form of dementia is particularly challenging to diagnose and is characterized by a loss of empathy, which can create significant difficulties not only for patients but also for their families.
In a new study led by Olof Lindberg of Karolinska Institutet and Alexander Santillo of Lund University, researchers analyzed 28 individuals with frontotemporal dementia using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
