b'Dr. Jamil Zaki is a Stanford scientist who has a way for you to sharpen you empathy skills. It\\u2019s a little like going to the gym to strengthen your muscles and improve your flexibility. In fact, he calls it the "empathy gym". It\'s not an actual place you can go to, but rather, it\'s things you can do to get a work-out for those empathy skills. That\\u2019s something we all seem to need - now more than ever. As Dr. Zaki explains to Alan Alda in this episode, we\\u2019re not stuck with the level of empathy we came in with. We can exercise it and raise it. We can use this virtual gym to improve our ability to read other people and to connect with them \\u2014 which makes Dr. Zaki the perfect guest for Clear+Vivid.\\xa0\\n\\nSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/clearandvivid'
