Coming To Our Senses: Sherry Turkle On Empathy

Pandemic lockdowns created a slew of emotional challenges for everyone, from toddlers to seniors. Now that our social skills have atrophied, how can be retrain ourselves to interact with each other again?

MIT Professor Sherry Turkle aims to help us understand how we might rejuvenate our senses and flex our empathy muscles once again. In her new memoir, “The Empathy Diaries,” Turkle unpacks how her family, upbringing, and intellectual development shaped her life’s work. Turkle explores a counterintuitive pattern observed across many decades devoted to keeping people connected: that empathy and connection can arrive when we feel the most alone and unfamiliar.

Moderating this conversation is psychologist, Todd Essig Ph.D
