Empathy is the Heart of Diversity with Dr. Arthur Ciaramicoli, Ed.D., Ph.D.

“Empathy is the heart of diversity”, actually, I think that empathy is the heart of being a good human.  In this episode, we learn that plus so much more from Dr. Arthur Ciaramicoli. I think that Dr.  Ciaramicoli knocked the ball out of the park with his latest best-selling book titled ‘Triumph of Diversity: How to Rejoice and Benefit from the Interconnectedness of Mankind’  If you have not figured it out, you will know very soon that I am a geek when it comes to understanding how empathy runs through every facet of life. Ranging from friendships, marriage, parenting, leadership, negotiating, and now longevity. This entire podcast is a highlight reel and you will hear where I short-circuited a couple of times and was speechless. That’s very rare for me. Prepare for your mind to be blown, too.  If I had to pick 3 things that really stick out as ah-ha moments I pick these.

Growing in life is about unlearning.

We are addicted to negative self-talk, and.

Stress is not only shortening your life but also your stress could shortening the lives of the people you love the most and future generations.

As Dr. Ciaramicoli says, “First slow down and then build awareness when you slow down” after you do that grab a pen and a clean sheet of paper in your journal to take some detailed notes.

In The Triumph of Diversity, Dr. Ciaramicoli analyzes prejudice by tracing it to personal origins and relates true stories of courageous individuals who have overcome hatred, cruelty, and sadism to become open-minded, loving resilient people. He re-emphasizes that we are in desperate need of those who unite rather than those who ostracize.

Dr. Ciaramicoli shares his observations as a psychologist in clinical practice, his interviews with laymen, clinicians and clergy, and data from current research to conclude, as Thomas Paine said, “My Country is the World; my Religion is to do Good,” and that learned prejudices can be laid bare and redirected to give way to genuine empathy and inclusion over exclusion.
