Why is it so hard to find the right words to connect with someone going through a great loss, such as a death, illness, or losing a job?
In this episode, Leopold and Ricardo address the topic of grief and discuss some of the challenges that many people (including themselves) experience when trying to support someone in pain.
They go on to assess the conventional view on this subject and ask whether empathy really calls for seeking connection through a feeling of sorrow--or whether, instead, we can learn to trade on values.
