The Six Habits of Highly Emphatic People is an RSA Event presented by Roman Krznaric, a cultural historian. Krznaric's views are a contrast from the many who espouse knowing thyself rather than going outside of yourself to learn about others and develop greater empathy. If you have some time, you might enjoy the video presentation as I did.
