What this subject means

empathy Feeling what others feel: whether it makes better makers, leaders and people, or is a poor guide that should give way to compassion.

Does empathy make us better?under our view: Empathy is a poor guide: it narrows to the few and the near, and people overrate their own

What Adam Grant actually said

  1. Adam Grant Organizational psychologist and professor at the Wharton School
    It doesn't matter how much empathy you feel for your group if it leads you to devalue other groups. We need more rational compassion: reflective concern for people different from us. You don't have to share their feelings to care about their feelings.
