21st Century Power: Principles, Practices, and Positive Social Change
Compassion researcher, author, and psychology professor Dacher Keltner studies the biological and evolutionary origins of awe, compassion, and love, as well as power, social class, and inequality. Keltner details the movement towards more collaborative and compassionate models of power, including empathy, gratitude, and stories that unite to earn the esteem of others and stir social networks to effective action. He will address the abuses of power from empathy deficits to impulsivity, and what can be done to promote positive social change in the face of these pitfalls.
