We've got a tremendous episode for this week and can't wait to share it with you tomorrow.
This week on Flourish FM the guys welcomed Ph.D. to share research on empathy and its role in creating a flourishing life.
Alison shares with .nickholton and that empathy isn't just about understanding others, it's a cornerstone of personal wellbeing, meaningful relationships, and thriving communities.
Dr. Alison Jane Martingano is a social psychologist at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Bay, where she leads the Social Research Lab dedicated to investigating empathy and perspective-taking. She has published her research in leading academic journals such as the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Social Psychological and Personality Science, and Popular Media.
Alison hosts the fortnightly Psychology & Stuff podcast, chatting with psychologists and Green Bay locals about topics ranging from sports to false confessions. In addition, she blogs for Psychology Today, translating cutting-edge psychology research into clear, relatable insights.
As an immigrant and military wife, Alison appreciates the difficulties and opportunities that communicating with those dissimilar from ourselves can bring. She is a passionate educator and speaker and hopes to inspire her students, and others, to nurture empathy in a changing world.
