Can we rewire our brains to be more empathetic and choose compassion?

Neuroscience tells us that empathy is proven in hard science. But it has also proven that we, humans, have a tendency to be egocentric, which is innate in all of us. Hello, Freud.  And that part of the brain recognizes a lack of empathy.

However, if we can practice self awareness and recognize our triggers to understand if our emotions are coming from an egoic place, we have a choice to choose compassion over anger. 

Host  Chris Oh shares her discovery of what neuroscience tells us about empathy and compassion and her practice of choosing compassion, even in situations where she would defer to anger.

Hear more on understanding the practice of choosing compassion.
