How can changing your brain change the world? How can small moments of kindness create ripple effects that echo far into the universe? Shonté Jovan Taylor discusses how compassionate acts, no matter how small, can change both our own and others’ brains in powerful ways. When we witness others acting with kindness or altruism, mirror neurons fire in our brains that help us experience empathy ourselves.
From Malala Yousafzai to Greta Thunberg to Oprah to Jane Goodall, Shonté describes countless individuals who have channeled their compassionate brains to mobilize action across the globe. Importantly, Shonté notes that you don’t need to experience trauma or violence in order to make an impact. In fact, all you really need is some deeper knowledge about the most powerful technology on the planet: your brain.
Tune in to this week’s episode of Coffee with a Neuroscientist to learn more about how you can generate lasting change in only a moment.
