Yes, let's start a global Empathy revolution! Teach empathic communication at schools and learn to listen to your own and other people's feelings and needs and to ask for what you really need in order tot be happy. If we want it, we can make eachothers lives more beautiful!

Reading some of the following comments, I was struck by the number of people prefer to respond negatively - how sad... perhaps these people are not encountering empathy in their own lives and are isolated as a result...

Nah, empathy is nice but if you want to solve any problem, logic and reasoning. You can't solve anything by experiencing emotions. In fact emotions cloud judgement. Emotion is just a motivator at best.

Thank you Roman. Thank you for mentioning Roots of Empathy and the Parent's Circle and Dialogue in the Dark and Outrospection thank you for talking about Empathy. I and many others have been practicing the work of Non-Violent Communication developed by Marshall Rosenberg in several NVC practice groups where we practice experiencing self-empathy and empathy for others and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction by John Kabat-Zinn to practice slowing down so I could be aware of my judgmental thoughts. Those combined have helped me begin to learn how to empathize with people I formerly viewed as enemies; I don't agree with them, but I have begun to cultivate curiosity about why they might take the actions that they do. I hope you will do another Ted Talk with updates on "mass-scale" experiential empathy models currently at work in the world.

Human Library... hmm... That's such a cool concept! I love it.

Roman, you are great! Thanks!

wow wow wow. every word of this is important...and it makes sense! Let's start thinking about others for a change!

Inspiring and truthful

that ending was great

The intro: YES.

Simply amazing.

it is amazing . very motivated me to learn more about human as a human empathicuc !

We need to recognize empathy and not take it lightly

the world needs an empathy revolution - this gets my vote ♥(¸.•¨¯`☆

I think empathy towards animals other than humans is also somewhat lacking, and needs to be taken seriously

I wonder why it wasn't mentioned at all...

Please don't overlook how much empathy can divide us; it's not easy being an *accountable* and empathetic person in an unempathrtic, blaming world. To be frank, it's immensely lonesome, and hopeless. Or can be; once you realize there's no single answer to a world with maybe one major problem, but one that was created by innumerable actions, non-actions, etc., and that all things exist only by contrast of the opposite, you let it go. And problem ends. So the need for answers is no longer relevant. In the meantime, however, it'd be nice to reduce the symptomology of suffering if we could all agree to treat it the same way, whether that's a unchallenged agreement to be empathetic or it means we all agree to throw ice cream cones at those we expect whatever it is we're troubled about getting no but wanting yes from.

Jimbo Jones divide those who embrace empathy from those who do not; the empathic individual may treat everyone they meet with compassion, but that doesn't mean the empathic person will encounter fellow empathic people day to day, or receive compassion and understanding from anyone, ever. Hopefully I've clarified my original comment from 2+ years ago so as to correct any existing or future misunderstandings

That feels like a risk worth taking

One deep empathic social network referred to in this talk was already in use and popular till a few months go: "The Experience Project". It ran for several years and was anonymous and based only on common interests and / or experiences. Then came the news of the NSA snooping and Snowden revelations showing how the NSA and other TLAs / authorities could abuse data from online networks. People shared sensitive personal stuff on EP because they were anonymous. The founders rather reluctantly but admirably explained the risks in running EP given the massive amounts of data-mining and interlinking of such mined databases carried out by the US Govt (and possibly others) and shut it down. Maybe blockchain messaging will produce another EP.

Is this TED talk actually in Athens, Greece or is there some other reason that it says Athens..? I enjoyed listening to this Roman just wanted to mention that in Greece the world empathy in modern Greek doesn't translate well, in ancient Greek it did.. In modern Greek people tell me the the world for empathy is Ensynesthisssi meaning feeling with you...

Wow, this content is outstanding. I had the pleasure of reading something similar, and it was truly exceptional. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint

Something to be integrated into EU talks....especially concerning Greece.

I think the word "empathy" is being used incorrectly here. This guy is not talking about "empathy", but is actually talking about something called "love". Empathy is about being able to understand another person's feeling and emotions. A psychopath can understand another person's feelings and emotions if they choose to. What the the psychopath is not able to do however is care, and that comes from love.

Psychopaths can choose to have feelings if they want to Jimbob Jones... That is how they are able to manipulate. What they can't choose to do is "love".

***** Agreed. I like your ears and listen metaphor. They could understand the feeling the other person has, but they would not themselves feel like the other person unless they tried or wanted to do so. A normal person would not need to try or want to be able to feel. They just would...

Jimbob Jones I think it's a combination of nature and nurture. I think that some people are born with some potentials which may or may not be realised by the environment they encounter. Also, I think that anyone can be driven to any behaviour given the appropriate circumstances.

***** In many ways we "die" into their personalities as our brains develop as we grow up. When born, lots of bits of our brain are connected, and if not used those connections die, and can not be easily repaired. I think that stacks up with what you are saying... :) Your choices do change your brain. Really. :)

***** I do think that "some" people are born very, very nasty. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Need_to_Talk_About_Kevin_(film) is interesting. I'm not sure that it is possible to "treat" everyone. If we start "deleting" parts of peoples brains then I would be very worried about the power that gives to potential corruption. No lobotomies either, I remember them being a bad idea also,..

sorry, but the translation pro Portuguese brazilian is incorrect. Would you be able to fix it? ps: Translate to the Portuguese of Portugal and not the Portuguese brazilian

I watched the first minute where he said that "free market culture" is responsible for hyperindividualism and narrowed self-interest, which is crazy talk. Free market culture is about freely exchanging within a community for mutual benefit. If anything, it is hyper-community-focused. The more the community thrives, the more benefits that can be shared through a free market. Anything less than a free market limits the opportunities for mutual gain and win-win agreements. This glaring error in the first minute of the video didn't really inspire me to watch the rest. :(

What's in it for me. I didn't get enough out of the video. sorry.

The problem with showing empathy is "Straight Trees are cut down first".

Too bad the world is full of psycho/sociopaths :/ Some people are just incapable of empathy :( they deserve to die Oh yeah, and the roots of empathy program thing: I remember going through that in 3rd grade or something, I can barely remember anything from that time, and I did not learn empathy from that program

wonderfullife If psychopaths had empathy, then why would they do their impulsive idiotic things in the first place? Psychopaths just know what feelings are and how to control them, but they never simulate the feelings of their victim for themselves.
