Word Power | How Critical Are You, and More


Listen Later

In this episode of English Plus Podcast, Danny tackles the art of critical thinking versus plain old criticism, the mysterious depths of “still waters run deep,” and why we sometimes feel pain just from seeing someone else get hurt. Join Danny as he explores when criticism becomes constructive, what makes quiet people fascinating, and how our brains respond to other people’s suffering. You’ll also get a vocabulary boost, with practical terms like empathy, wince, and inner world, all woven into a funny, thought-provoking discussion. Perfect for anyone looking to balance insight with kindness in a world full of snap judgments!
