Why we’re Losing Empathy (and How to Get It Back)?

Описание: Have you ever been on the receiving end of someone’s unprovoked rudeness? Your first instinct is likely to fight back. But what if you chose a 10-second "empathic embrace" instead?

In this deep dive, we look at the biological mechanics of empathy—from the chemical rush of oxytocin to the way reading fiction "simulates" other lives in our brains. We also tackle the "villains" of connection: chronic stress, dopamine-addicted tech, and corporate perfectionism.
