Dr. Dacher Keltner – Why are Wealthy People Often Less Kind?
What if the greatest strength of humanity isn’t intelligence or ambition—but awe and compassion?
In this eye-opening podcast, Dr. Anthony Silard sits down with renowned psychologist Dr. Dacher Keltner to challenge one of the most enduring myths about human nature: that people are fundamentally selfish.
Drawing on groundbreaking research in psychology and neuroscience, they reveal how our brains are biologically wired for empathy, cooperation, and meaningful human connection. From the surprising effects of wealth on behavior to lessons learned from life inside prisons, this conversation uncovers why privilege can create isolation—and why gratitude, moral beauty, and awe have the power to heal trauma and strengthen relationships.
If you’ve ever wondered what truly makes us flourish as individuals and as a society, this episode offers a science-backed perspective that may change the way you see yourself and others.
