It’s uncontroversial to say that empathy—considering others’ feelings and experiences—is a social good. But in his new book Suicidal Empathy, evolutionary psychologist Dr. Gad Saad argues that there can be too much of a good thing.
Gad joins Coleman on the latest episode of his podcast to discuss the evolutionary and psychological roots of what he considers our society’s hyperactive empathy, and whether compassion has begun to override reason in American life.
Has empathy gone too far? And what do we lose, both individually and as a society, when moral sentiment replaces moral judgment? All that and more on the latest Conversations with Coleman.
