SHOW SUMMARY
Psychology as a scientific discipline is a fascinating field, particularly because it informs a lot of what we do in other areas of work. The more we know about ourselves, the better we are able to do something, particularly in fields such as sales and marketing where we deal with people.
In this episode of the Peak Performance Selling Podcast, Dr. Devan Kronisch talks about the two kinds of empathy, how beauty filters and social media are reducing our ideas of attractiveness and beauty towards particular demographics, and why taking more breaks can actually help you learn new things faster.

Dr. Devan on the two kinds of empathy: "Cognitive empathy is incredibly important, and I do think it overlaps with curiosity because if you're not curious, you're not gonna do that entire exercise of looking at the world from their eyes. But we so often talk about emotional empathy and holding it up as this big example of now you can really understand the person. But mirroring is not what you need in all situations."
Dr. Devan on how beauty filters are affecting our concepts of attractiveness: "What we find attractive is actually based on an averaging-out effect that our brain runs fully subconsciously at all times. What happens when we look at social media that uses filters, that uses editing, that does all these things to make people not look like people anymore? Our brain learns that this is the range of actual living beings and it averages from there."
Dr. Devan on how our brains process attractiveness and beauty: "If you live in an area where you only ever see one type of person -- one race, one ethnicity, whatever exactly you want to call it, that is what your brain is going to perceive as normal and therefore, attractive."
