A Secret Source of Connection

Su questo episodio

<p>We all have moments in our lives when we see someone who could use a helping hand. It could be a friend who recently went through a breakup, an elderly person trying to load groceries into their car, or a stranger on the street who looks a little lost. We tell ourselves we should help, but then something stops us. This week, psychologist <a href="https://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/faculty-and-research/faculty-directory/amit-kumar/">Amit Kumar</a> helps us understand what keeps us from taking a moment to be kind, and how to overcome these barriers to create stronger, happier connections. </p><p><i>Have you ever had a moment when you blank out on your best friend's name, or forget the passcode to your phone?
