Dr. Alfie Kohn – Are We Fundamentally Selfish or Motivated to Help Others?
Are humans naturally selfish—or are empathy, compassion, and cooperation part of who we truly are?
In this thought-provoking episode of Resocial, Dr. Anthony Silard sits down with renowned author and education expert Dr. Alfie Kohn to challenge some of society’s most deeply held beliefs about human nature, parenting, and relationships.
Together, they explore why traditional systems of rewards and punishments often backfire, how unconditional parenting fosters genuine responsibility and emotional connection, and why empathy is not something we force into children—but something we nurture. They also discuss the hidden costs of our increasingly digital world and the urgent need to reclaim authentic human connection.
If you’re interested in parenting, education, psychology, emotional intelligence, leadership, human behavior, or building stronger relationships, this conversation will change the way you think about what motivates people—and what helps them thrive.
🎙️ Watch now and discover why compassion may be one of humanity’s greatest untapped strengths.
We hope you will join us!
Warmly,
Anthony
