Empathy is really important.. Only when our clever brain and our human heart work together in harmony can we achieve our full potential.
The only possible way to get somebody to change is to reach into their hearts.
I've learned that if you want people to join in any kind of conservation effort, you have to help them to care with their hearts, not just their heads.
Without the heart to ground it and open it to who we really can be as human beings, the brain is a very dangerous machine. A machine that is saying: we've got to have economic growth; we've got to have unending economic growth, otherwise societies will collapse. And yet there should be something saying: wait a minute, this isn't going to work.
In a very unscientific statement, I feel that there's been a disconnect between this clever brain and the heart.
