Empathy Vs. Sympathy – An RSA Short by Dr. Brené Brown
August 20, 2015 in Social Science | Tags: Empathy, RSA, Sympathy | by The Arbourist | 5 comments
I’m in complete agreement with this animated short. I can see from my own personal experiences the vastly different feelings I get between someone sympathizing with me versus someone who empathizes with me.
I can see why empathy is less common – it is waaaaaay harder to achieve because being empathetic requires time, energy and authentic connection with the person you are communicating with.

Barbara Ehrenreich – Smile or Die with RSA enhancement.

Two RSA vids in the same week? Sue me, I’m prepping to go back to school and the grind associated with not being on summer holidays. :)
Ms.Ehrenreich gives a short but concise talk about the ills of Positive Thinking. I particularly like near the end in which she brings the idea that positive thinking is really just a corollary of market fundamentalism and the myths established around that particularly mortiferous ideal.

I really enjoy what the RSA does. Taking good ideas and making them better with illustrations and cognitive maps.
