Tk With James Scott

A night spent drinking and writing about his parents' divorce uncovered an urgent need in Stanford professor Jamil Zaki to author THE WAR FOR KINDNESS: BUILDING EMPATHY IN A FRACTURED WORLD. He and James talk about how empathy can literally grow parts of the brain, hating the term hard-wired, facing the problems of the world today, and (sigh) STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION. Plus Michael Nye returns to talk about reviving and relaunching STORY.  - Jamil Zaki: https://profiles.stanford.edu/jamil-zaki Buy THE WAR FOR KINDNESS: https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780451499240  Jamil and James discuss:  STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION  Deanna Troi  The Good Samaritan  Princeton  Manchester United  Liverpool  Allen Iverson  Bill Nye Borderlinks  Life After Hate  WRECK-IT RALPH Contact Theory  Angela King THE NEW YORK TIMES  Defensive dehumanization  Amanda Cook  Gareth Cook  Bread Loaf Writer's Conference  Carl Sagan   - Michael Nye: http://mpnye.com/ Subscribe to STORY: https://www.storymagazine.org/ Michael and James
