Tweet compassion vs empathy Posted byJoseph Thornton MDMay 24, 2023Posted inBlog Adam Grant @AdamMGrant Compassion is kinder and healthier than empathy. Evidence: when we feel others’ pain, we often get overwhelmed and withdraw. When we feel concern for their pain, we reach out and help. The point of compassion isn’t to share their feelings. It’s to care about their feelings. pic.twitter.com/EHDwUxHUJd 5/24/23, 10:22 AM Joseph Thornton Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Like Loading...
