When you shoot Botox into your face to freeze it into a mask of dispassionate youthful non-expression, you might also be harming your ability to perceive emotions in others, a new study says.
"if muscular signals from the face to the brain are dampened, you're less able to read emotions."
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).

Abstract: Focusing is a deeply embodied practice that gives us access to the wisdom of our bodies, whispered to us via our felt sense. Empathy Circles that use Focusing practice allow for deep sharing with rich details; these details make space for the sharing to cross with our own experiences resulting with greater resonance. If combined with empathic reflections of how something relates to our own experience, we can have an increased sense of common humanity that builds our self-compassion; this is especially true for empathy circles that Focus on a specific topic.

In today’s digital-first workplace, empathy has become a key driver of successful leadership. Historically, leadership often focused on efficiency and emotionless processes. However, the shift towards authentic leadership highlights the need for human-centric strategies. As technology becomes more integrated into our daily lives, the ability to lead with empathy has emerged as a competitive advantage. Leading HealthTech specialist Air Doctor examines this shift in strategy.
Seth Godin shows us what radical empathy looks like. He reminds us to do work that matters, for people who care by focusing on serving a minimum viable audience. He teaches us that the way to stay indispensable in our work is to do work where you can't write down the steps. He also reveals how faked empathy is just as good as real empathy for the true professional acting 'as if'.

The 2024 election has passed, but the work being done by members of the University of Pennsylvania’s newly formed Political Empathy Lab who visited Johnstown this summer continues.
Students, along with Lia Howard, a professor and part of Penn’s Stavros Niarchos Foundation Paideia Program, covered almost 2,500 miles, talking to numerous people in Pennsylvania including voters, elected officials, media professionals and business owners. They stopped in numerous locations, from big cities to small towns.
The goal was simply to converse with people and gain an understanding about what issues mattered to them.
One recommendation is to try empathetic honesty. Empathy is the ability to understand and share another’s feelings. As Sara Konrath, PhD, an associate professor of philanthropic studies at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy shared in an interview with the American Psychology Association, “It's the building block of empathy, to feel what others are feeling.” Honesty, meanwhile, is speaking and acting truthfully and transparently. Combining these two skills into empathetic honesty subsequently allows someone, like a manager at a company, to give candid, critical feedback while understanding, acknowledging, and reacting to - rather than ignoring - the human factors that may also affect an individual’s work performance, such as the death of a loved one.
Being an empathetic man doesn’t mean simply understanding others’ feelings. It’s about truly stepping into their shoes and responding in a sensitive manner.
Empathy can be expressed in subtle habits that are easily overlooked. Yet these habits speak volumes about a person’s character.
In this piece, I’ll share 8 such habits that distinguish empathetic men from others. So, let’s dive in and explore this underrated quality, shall we?

Humane education materials that help prevent violence by young people are on their way to local schools from PETA’s humane education division, TeachKind, following reports that two teen suspects—ages 14 and 17—were arrested after allegedly assaulting a woman, kicking one of her dogs, and stealing her car at gunpoint, and using another stolen car in an attempt to run over two girls just days later. In letters sent today to Cleveland Metropolitan School District Chief Executive Officer Warren G. Morgan II and Breakthrough Public Schools Chief Executive Officer Andrew McRae, TeachKind explains that humane education fosters empathy for all living, feeling beings—and TeachKind also sent along kindness-to-animals educational materials, including “Empathy Now,” a guide to preventing violence by young people.

The psychopaths I’ve encountered in my career have been neither exceptionally bright nor socially able, nor at all charming. They are usually so lacking in empathy that they cannot see the effect they have on others.
Radical empathy: preventing violence In 2004 I met a man called Jack who had killed his mother when he was in his 20s. He had been found to be suffering with paranoid schizophrenia at the time, so he was sent to hospital for treatment.
Later, he joined a therapy group that I was running at Broadmoor Hospital. In the hour-long sessions the group members, who had all killed family members while mentally unwell, would talk about how they could avoid violence in future. Jack didn’t always seem engaged but after a year or so, just after another member had talked about past regrets, he spoke abruptly.
Democratic listening is becoming an ever more important part of the study of deliberative democracy. Where past deliberative democratic theorists spent time on the speech act, more attention is now being given to the listening act.
What exactly happens when we listen to each other and how does that increase our potential to understand each perspective as citizens in a democracy?
Political Empathy Lab is observing this summer what political science studies substantiate, the idea that people feel more favorably disposed to you (even in cross party discussions) if you let them express themselves and you demonstrate that you are listening by your posture.[1]
Again, your responses as you speak are less important than your presence of just showing up and your humility in just listening.

Researchers at Penn and beyond are studying affective polarization. PEL continues this work and applies it by equipping Penn students to connect with others by attuning themselves to their own thoughts and feelings as they listen to different points of view.
It strives to develop and cultivate practices for both the outer conversation and the inner conversation. These practices and the regular exercise of them, especially the practice of listening, builds social trust and is a necessary precondition for deliberative democracy.
Some of the practices are explored, refined, and exercised in the spring course PSCI 4201 Political Empathy and Deliberative Democracy.

Study participants tended to include AI bots excluded from play, showing empathy.
Older participants showed a stronger response to unfair AI treatment.
Designers are encouraged to avoid overly human traits in AI to maintain distinctions.
People don’t like ostracism – even toward AI
Feeling empathy and taking corrective action against unfairness is something most humans appear hardwired to do. Prior studies not involving AI found that people tended to compensate ostracised targets by tossing the ball to them more frequently, and that people also tended to dislike the perpetrator of exclusionary behaviour while feeling preference and sympathy towards the target.
Artificial empathy The chatbot’s use of the first person simulates awareness and seeks to create an illusion of empathy. By adopting a helper position and using the second person, it engages the user and reinforces the perception of closeness. This combination generates a conversation that feels human, practical, and appropriate for giving advice, even though its empathy comes from an algorithm, not from real understanding.
Getting used to interacting with non-conscious entities that simulate identity and personality may have long term repercussions, as these interactions can influence our personal, social and cultural lives. As these technologies improve, it will get harder and harder to distinguish a conversation with a real person from one with an AI system.
This increasingly blurred boundary between the human and the artificial affects how we understand authenticity, empathy and conscious presence in communication. We may even come to address AI chatbots as if they were conscious beings, generating confusion about their real capabilities.
