Our modern lives are filled with contradictions and worrisome trends, and our ability to empathize with and trust people outside our immediate circle seems to be lessening by the day. Luckily there are researchers and thinkers like Dr Jamil Zaki, Stanford professor and author of Hope for Cynics, who studies compassion and kindness - come hear the science and anecdotes behind Dr. Zaki's message that swapping "hopeful skepticism" for destructive cynicism can help us create the world we want to live in.
