It's been a while since I posted a podcast. Lately I haven't heard anything particularly stimulating, but this one definitely struck a chord with me. It's called Survival of the Kindest. (55 mins)
Anyone who thinks that nice guys finish last, think again. Listen to this interview with Dacher Keltner, professor of Psychology at the University of California.
"Professor Keltner’s studies of human emotion seem to turn the Hobbesian view of human nature - that life is nasty, brutish, and short - on its head. We only need to look at emotions such as compassion, awe, and embarrassment, to see that humans are wired to be good."
